MicromachinedTransducers Sourcebook by Kovacs 5 was used as a primary source/text in Spring 2000 and 2001and was supplemented with material from a three-day MEMS short course6. Since then severalnew teaching texts have been introduced including MEMS and Microsystems: Design andManufacture by Hsu 7, which was adopted for Spring 2002. Other lecture materials are largelydeveloped from the research literature.Student Projects The main vehicle, however, for learning in this course is the student design project. Toaccomplish this task, students work in teams that are diversified in terms of both discipline andexperience (i.e., a mix of seniors and first-year graduate students). As such, the course addressesABET 2000’s Criterion 3d, that students will demonstrate

process. Thepremise of the study is that as resources increase in number and complexity, and time constraintspressure an overcrowded curriculum, professors are challenged to find new methods to trainstudents in the skills needed for the constantly changing workplace. A creative collaboration isone technique to address this issue.This paper discusses this creative collaboration, and its impact on the design team performance.First, the approach for inclusion of guided research into curriculum is explained thoroughly, andthen the results of the pilot study conducted in selected ED&G 100 course sections. Design teamperformance is measured using: 1) peer evaluations of the design demonstration (25%), and 2) ablind evaluation of the team’s design

One of the CTES goals is to infhse moremathematics and science in the technology activities. The infbsion works best when it is based in an activity thatthe technology teachers have asked assistance on.

capabilities to projects. Students are typically quite anxious to have areal world engineering design experience to help them prepare for the workforce. Wehave found that many students favor projects that have social impacts or deal withfamiliar subject areas for which they have had some prior exposure. They prefer designproblems with few constraints and would rather approach design from a “clean sheet”perspective. It is often more difficult to motivate students to work on projects thatinvolve the application of existing technology to complex systems for which they mayhave had little or no prior background or exposure. And, it can be difficult to keepstudents motivated on projects for which the best approach to design is to use off-the-shelf hardware

Students begin by contacting engineers attheir workplace to discuss ideas. They usually look for current or recently completed projectsthat appear interesting and involve application of structural concrete in design (including analysis),construction, materials, and/or research. Students are permitted and encouraged to use an actualproject as a basis for their design project. For example, students may conduct an independentdesign review of part of a structure, design a simplified version of a structure, or use an actualproject as a practical application for a topic such as high performance concrete

The framework is designed to be used as a tool for evaluating the degree to which academic standards, curricula, and teaching practices address the important components of a quality K-12 engineering education. Additionally, this framework can be used to inform the development and structure of future K-12 engineering education standards and initiatives
