The college of engineering plan is to introduce business issues inengineering curriculum in selected relevant courses as follows:MEEN 120 : Introduction to Engineering and Technology - Introduction to Universityorganization and procedures; engineering and ethics; engineering graphics including introductionto computer-aided design; and the engineering design process and its applications to practicalproblems. Introduction to SAP/R3 applications will be provided to high school students(Engineering Summer Institute) and freshman engineering students through demonstrationapplications. Prerequisite

Among the 12 graduate attributes, problem analysis, investigation,communication skills, ethics and equity, and life-long learning are closely associated withinformation literacy (IL) competencies and can be addressed by academic librarians themselvesor in collaboration with different units on campus. IL training may help this group of studentsbecome better empowered to use information effectively, which has the potential to contribute totheir overall academic and career success.Role of undergraduate

Quiz one covered the policies, risks,and motivations behind environmental compliance audits. Quiz one displayed a 2.99 percentagepoint difference between the mean grades of the two sections. The higher grades were achievedby students with the Power Point/audio lectures. The difference was statistically significant,dictating that for the first quiz, lecture delivery method mattered.

Students failing the exam are required to enroll in a one creditreview class. If they do not pass this class, they must transfer to a non-engineering major. End-of-year exams cover: mathematics, chemistry, ethics, computer programming, engineeringeconomics, and eight engineering science subject areas. The second strategy involvesmaintaining student proficiencies in written, graphic and oral communication skills which are notincluded in the end-of-year exam.

As a part of instruction the student teamswere assigned to present specific case histories covering different aspects of designprocess. This consisted of engineering successes as well as failures from the accounts ofcase histories [1]. These realistic situations from the case histories were used to illustrateand reinforce the interdisciplinary nature of engineering design. The student teamswould come prepared and present before the class the case histories and what were thelessons learned from them. The entire class participated in asking questions andcritiquing the presentations. Prior to the student team presentations, the instructor wouldoutline

Because of thisgrading scheme, some students realize that attendance and a minimum amount of work are allthat are required to obtain credit for the course. As such, engaging students in each area of studyis the best way to maintain their interest in the subject area.Areas of study in the beginning of the course involve discussion and activities related to ethics,diversity, study skills, time management, University policies & procedures, and the designprocess.
