several corecourses in electrical and mechanical engineering, as well as a laboratory course in weldingprinciples and manufacturing operations. Biomedical engineering is being developed as a fifthconcentration, built upon the common core.Part of our approach to the BME concentration includes a special integration of curriculum. Theconcept of curricular integration has been occurring at all levels of education, from primarygrades through graduate school. In the spirit of past academic emphases on “writing across thecurriculum,” “ethics across the curriculum,” “computers across the curriculum,” and “designacross the curriculum,” the approach we have taken is that of introducing “biomedicalengineering across the curriculum.” Specialized materials

Department of Mechanical Engineering Michigan State University East Lansing, MI 48824There are many things that a university must focus on when deciding on what to teach ourincoming and ongoing students. For engineering we hope that during their first years on campusstudents become acquainted with ethics, writing, speaking, and all the “soft skills” associatedwith the more liberal side of the institution. Many people do not realize that our students willsink or swim with their ability to function in a society that does not contain 100% engineers. Butthat is of little concern to many who simply say that controls, fluids, thermal sciences, and themany other engineering topics are the

They challenge students todevelop innovative and ethical approaches to complex, wide-ranging problems.By deliberately keeping the challenges broad, and asking students to consider each problem frommany perspectives, these projects encourage students to develop a better understanding ofengineering in context and the need for knowledge of other disciplines.

Liaw4 believes thatstrong industry ties add breadth, depth, and continuity to the undergraduate education.Along with the benefits, these partnerships can create ethical concerns. Such concernsinclude the rights of both parties, approaches that are fair to all, and the need to avoidconflict of interest5. To address these concerns, guidelines that direct the actions ofpartners have been promulgated by such bodies as the U.S. Office of Science andTechnology 6.In this paper, we present a partnership and collaboration that has recently been createdbetween University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES), Lab-Volt
