computer-based imaging or imageprocessing aspects were used on as-needed basis for senior capstone projects.With the approval of the curriculum committee, an undergraduate course with thetitle “Applied Computer Vision for Sensing and Automation” was approved to beoffered as an experimental course at 4xxx (senior) level. The course was designedas a three-credit hour course in a sixteen–week semester based system. Thecourse consisted of two lecture classes (each for 50 minutes) and one two-hourlaboratory component. This course initially required prior experience withcomputer programming and prerequisite of a sophomore level mathematics class.This course was offered as a technical elective.This course was initially offered in Fall 2014.

a recent process of curriculum reformin an undergraduate engineering program. Curriculum continues to hold a prominent spacein discussions around engineering education, yet there are limited exemplars of full scalecurriculum reform around the globe. At the University of Cape Town (UCT) in South Africa,the design of the new chemical engineering curriculum drew on contemporary shifts inthinking about the engineering profession [1, 2], as well as a focus on widening access to thedegree and coupling this with success. Furthermore, engaging with current deliberations onthe problem-based curriculum, this design took on a problem-centered focus [3]. Thiscurriculum design demanded a far more integrated mode of course delivery than is typical ina
level. To address these objectives, a self-administered questionnaire was employed, adapted, and validated for the context of engineeringstudents in Chile. The questionnaire covers the perception of incorporating gender perspectivesin a higher education institution across three dimensions: (1) Institutional sensitivity to genderperspectives, (2) Integration of gender perspectives into the curriculum, and (3) Awareness ofgender inequalities in the classroom. The results allow for the characterization of the sample'sperception regarding incorporating gender perspectives into their engineering educationprograms. Furthermore, it is worth noting that statistically significant differences exist betweenthe perceptions of men and women concerning the

past few decades, there has been a push for engineering curriculum to better engagewith the global, ethical, and societal impacts of the field and to prepare students to engage in amulticultural and diverse workspace and world. In an effort to introduce diversity in design andto troubleshoot the concept of the universal user, we adapted the display compatibilityquestionnaire from Smith’s study of display-control stereotype designs, and presented the samedesign questions to 21st century first-year engineering students, non-engineering students, andnon-engineering professionals.

eight courses taught in the profiled higher education makerspace, threedesign-focused instructional methods are presented that integrate course instruction, skilldevelopment, knowledge acquisition, and client-based problem solving by student teams. Thesemethods have been applied across all four undergraduate years in courses closely aligned withbiomedical engineering, environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, and engineering asa whole (for an introductory course). The courses span design education across the typical gapbetween cornerstone and capstone design courses. In all cases, the specific role of the highereducation makerspace in enhancing the value of these courses is demonstrated.IntroductionThe establishment of higher education

In addition, using theMUSIC Model of Academic Motivation together with course data, we present baseline data fromcurrent students and instructors in regards to overall performance.

The STEM tools adhere to stringent curriculum andproduct requirements-with safety as a top-level requirement. Another critical goal of
Intentionally ReflectiveKolb +Bloom (IRK+B) model developed by one of the workshop coordinators, Amy Bradshaw[5]. A concrete takeaway from these efforts were two clearly differentiated set of competencies,namely, task specific competencies that make a learner competitive today and meta-competenciesthat enables a learner to adapt to future needs. IRK+B provides an instructor with a conceptualframework to understand and evaluate (using Bloom’s taxonomy) where a learner is today andwhere he/she needs to be in future and thereby determine the scaffolds (using Kolb’s experientiallearning) a learner would need in attaining the goal. These experiences were foundational to the design a curriculum that embodies the need fora systemic development of
. Czekanski et al. studiedthe challenges in engineering education from both educators' and industrials points of view. Theyproposed a vertical and lateral method based on incorporating the strength of existingeducational systems and integrating them with fundamental engineering core courses. From theirstudy, they found that the use of this proposed vertical and lateral learning method can narrowthe gap between academic, industrial, and students' expectations. Their study was based on afour-year curriculum though and it did not zoom on the challenges of the individual courses [16].The question remains how to deliver an educational environment where engineering studentsgraduate with a good comprehension of general engineering design skills, practical
