However, it is not easy for students tobuild up entrepreneurial skills within one course or a couple of courses in an already crowdedengineering program. The College of Engineering (CoE) decided to embed entrepreneurial skillsin engineering learning activities for a number of courses throughout the program

Education, 2018 Integrated Learning In Context for Heat Exchanger AnalysisAbstractAn Engineering Technology program is developing a new vertically integrated undergraduateenergy systems curriculum that crosses traditional course boundaries. The goal is for students torecognize and understand energy conversion in a more comprehensive way by showing howsimilar processes occur in different disciplines. Courses in thermodynamics, electrical powergeneration, fluid power, manufacturing processes, and internal combustion engines are all beingmodified to include modules on energy conversion as a unifying and integrating theme. Thispaper targets one module of this comprehensive multi-course re-design, where a two-weeksegment of an introductory

These dimensions include core ideas from life science, physical science, earth andspace science and engineering, a set of crosscutting concepts that span across these fourdisciplines, and eight practices that are used in science and engineering to develop and revisenew knowledge about the natural or material world.

Indeed, althoughmost institutions have not yet found a way of integrating STEM and humanities learning within asingle course, a surprising number of these experiments have been tried [26, 16, 11, 12, 3, 4, 27],including in the first-year curriculum [28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33]. In spite of the richly varied examplesof integrative learning, assessments have been much more scarce.

With few exceptions [4-6], the ethical paradigm for STEM research and professionalism --dating back to the Nuremberg Code (1947) and the Declaration of Helsinki (1964) -- has beenconcerned with one’s duty to align behavior in compliance with an established code of ethics ornormative standards.
