Thefeedback indicated that the students were satisfied with the way the class was taught and that themethod of instruction kept them engaged and focused. This method will be developed furtherover the next few offerings of the course, and tests on how well this method can be used for othertopics in transportation engineering courses will be conducted.IntroductionHighway and traffic engineers study topics related to roads, including their design and operation.Most Civil Engineering undergraduate curriculum includes an introduction to transportationengineering course that covers the fundamentals of design and operation of

Therefore we were not able to prove our test hypothesis that the upper-classengineering students would score higher on the NSPE ethics practice exam than the freshmanstudents.In an attempt to gain greater insight into the results we compared specific questions with a highcorrect score percentage (≥ 80%) and those with a low correct score percentage (≤ 20%) for eachof the survey groups. The results, shown in Table 3, are virtually the same and further supportthe overall findings that the [Institution’s] curriculum of integrated ethical leadership courseswere not effective in enhancing participants’ performance on the NSPE ethics examination.

Based on the freshman population, there are typically 14-28 different seminar topicsand 18-23 sections with approximately 20 students per section. Because of the broad nature ofthe General Education outcomes, each seminar section varies in its particular topic, spanningmany different disciplines. The School of Engineering at The Citadel used the curriculum updateas an opportunity to engage both engineering and non-engineering students with engineeringtopics in the freshman seminars.

Alternatively, a department may require a standalone course, but it maybe offered in the philosophy/religion department or engineering school [15].

. Moreover, students mustalso be cognizant of the clinical perspective, both of the medical staff and the patient. This requiresstudents to bridge multiple disciplines with different pedagogical frameworks. In addition to thesechallenges, medical technology and knowledge is constantly and rapidly evolving, causing some contentto become obsolete before graduation. Therefore, it is imperative that BME students develop knowledgeacquisition, integrative thinking, and problem-solving skills in order to prepare for and adapt to thebreadth and pace of the field.Drawing inspiration from medical education, problem-based learning (PBL) has emerged as an effectivestrategy for mitigating these challenges in BME education [1-3].
