This type ofcomprehensive team project in indispensible for allowing students to digest and understand acomplex technological object on their own that they would not see in lecture (or the book).Students must first research their widget, focusing specifically on how it is constructed and howit actually functions, and importantly where the micro/nanotechnology is in play within thatfunctionality.

an overwhelming satisfaction with this subject.Key words: Education for professions, inductive education, engineering educationIntroductionThe re-making of Victoria University (VU) as A New School of Thought has led to, in 2005,both engineering schools at VU to adopt new educational paradigms. It was thought thatthe adoption of a Problem and Project Based Learning (PBL) as a tool for a pedagogical andcurriculum design would address some of the problems confronting engineering education atVU. The new pedagogical paradigm was to address the ongoing problems and issues whichhave beset engineering education at VU, which were:• Poor student intake into undergraduate engineering courses at VU.

CBI is considered a relatively new approach toengage and involve students and instructors in the education process and to continuouslykeep interest in the subjects, provide feedback, and achieve lasting understanding ofconcepts and adaptive expertise skills. It is expected that in this project, most studentswill acquire and retain knowledge by going through the process of searching for solutionsto the challenges, which require performing hands-on activities.

Of the one hundred students in the study,twelve had elected to participate in an interdisciplinary program between the two majors. Thequestionnaire itself asks students to think about interdisciplinary and non-interdisciplinaryengineering projects. Students’ responses to the questionnaire were analyzed using the opencoding method of grounded theory to identify emerging themes or categories within theresponses. The final coding scheme recognizes students’ differing perceptions of whatconstitutes an interdisciplinary collaboration, the purpose of using an interdisciplinary approach,and the

However, there is little transition between the highlydefined problems provided in lecture and laboratory courses versus the open-ended projectstudents are asked to solve in their capstone design course. The capstone design projects for theNanosystems Engineering program is provided by faculty across a variety of disciplines.Therefore, it became evident that rather than expecting each faculty mentor to provide certainbasic skills, a more effective approach would be to have all Nanosystems Engineering students towork on a smaller open-ended project in the last quarter of the Junior year to teach all theelements that they would need to apply more deeply in their capstone project the following year.The educational

Summarize methods to measure sustainability 5. Analyze examples of sustainable and non-sustainable programs.Participants were also exposed to field experiences to observe issues in sustainability.Assessment of the course objectives illustrates the need for cooperation among engineering andother disciplines, such as economics and politics, in the design process for a sustainable

A recent survey 1 of undergraduateengineering students at five different schools showed that most (82%) were interested inpursuing some form of entrepreneurship after graduation. Students want to know how to taketheir ideas and get them into the marketplace. They want to use their engineering skills to helpreal people with real problems (and they see entrepreneurship as a means to that end). Theyunderstand that competing for engineering projects in a global context requires not only strongtechnical knowledge, but also business acumen. This strong interest translates into

This unusual course format (from students’ perspective) presented uniqueopportunities for the students.Core engineering courses typically struggle to function beyond the lower order thinking level;focusing often only on knowledge, comprehension and application. The incorporation of journalclub methods elevated the Introduction to Nanotechnology course to function primarily at thehigher order thinking levels, based on Bloom’s Taxonomy.12 As a result the performance of astudent was essentially based upon their ability to analyze
