Detailed course descriptions of curriculum progressionThis paper shows how model-based system design, as has been described, is integrated inselected courses in all four years of the Mechanical Engineering undergraduate curriculum. Thecourses where this has been implemented are presented in Table 1 and are required courses forall students working toward a Bachelor’s of Science in Mechanical Engineering. This approachis the model-based design counterpart to the “Design Spine” discussed by Sheppard et al.6 whorethought the curriculum at Stevens Institute of Technology to emphasize design throughout allfour years. An initial cohort of freshman engineering students started the proposed model-baseddesign sequence in the fall 2015 semester. Assessment
Classroom Learning in Low-resource settingsAbstractWith this work-in-progress paper, we report on the design of an innovative curriculum focusingon engineering skills for low-resource pre-college students. Engineering knowledge and skillsare in high demand for local and global knowledge economies and provide individuals access tosocial and economic mobility. However, basic engineering education is inaccessible to manystudents in low-income and low-resource areas. Educational technology may be one componentof a solution that addresses access and equity.The curriculum focuses on science and engineering problem solving within real world contexts.We adopt the Integrated Course Design for Outcome-Based Education approach1 for this design.This curriculum

An entrepreneurial mindset will allow them touse their technical skills effectively in turning opportunity to an achievement that has societaland economic value. Engineering students with entrepreneurial training are therefore expected tobegin their career with a competitive advantage. To develop entrepreneurial engineers, theTagliatela College of Engineering at the University of New Haven is enriching its curriculum byintegrating e-learning modules into regular engineering courses. When complete, there will be 18e-learning modules targeting various entrepreneurial concepts and skills based on the KEENFramework. In this paper, the approach of integrating the e-learning

Introduction We are already in the age of information technology revolution. Thisnot only incorporates traditional engineering but all aspects of power ofInternet also, culminating into a variety of state-of-art technologies. It is thesublime duty of engineering educators to integrate these technologies intotheir curriculum as a prime requirement.

Our BME undergraduate program at the Universityof Wisconsin-Madison, which has historically encompassed sophomores and above, has morethan doubled in the last five years. This year, our college has moved to a direct departmentadmission model adding an additional surge of freshman directly to the program (78% morestudents) with progression requirements versus a secondary application.In an effort to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for these 240 freshman, we havedeveloped a mentorship program integrated with our design curriculum.

to lead outside the formal curriculum AbstractLeadership has historically been part of professional engineers’ work life, but until recently itwas not integrated into the formal engineering curriculum. With the support of the NationalAcademy of Engineering and Engineers Canada along with regulatory pressures from theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology and the Canadian EngineeringAccreditation Board, committed engineering educators with ties to industry have begun to takeup this curricular challenge in greater numbers. Unfortunately, many of these programs touchonly a small segment of the student body because they remain on the periphery of engineeringfaculties. As a result, we know little about the

Specifically, ePortfoliosencourage novice engineers to consider their learning processes over time, drawing connectionsbetween coursework and their intended profession, as well as cultivating an online identity thatsupports their efforts to pursue a career in Engineering. The use of ePortfolios is one method forfostering integrative learning, focusing on the application of digital communication andassessment and awareness of self- competence. By training students to archive digital artifactsrelated to their learning, ePortfolios encourage student to draw connections between

The control group consisted of 44 highschool students who are dual-enrolled in university courses and did not experience thedesign process exposure. The experimental group consisted of 50 university studentswho were exposed to the design experience. Both groups of students were enrolled in thesame introductory engineering course taught by the same instructor.Statistical analysis of data showed a significant difference in knowledge and experienceamong the first-year students with design experience compared to the control

Therefore, our framework wouldattempt to integrate the entrepreneurial requirements in the current curriculum and extra-curricular and co-curricular activities as much as possible. We expect institutions to customizethe framework - based on their creative ideas and their institutional requirements – to formulate ablueprint for developing innovative entrepreneurs from their institutes.
