discusses several issuesrelated to mathematics education for engineers.I. IntroductionThe design of a new curriculum has led to the analysis of several related issues. Of particularimportance is the preparation in mathematics of engineering students and the creation of coursework in mathematics that better serves the needs of a sound and effective modern education fortoday’s students.The need to reform engineering education, particularly the mathematics content, stems fromseveral pressing issues. In recent years, close attention has been given to the desiredcharacteristics of engineering graduates and to their skill sets, leading to new accreditationrequirements from the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

and methods to contribute to a resulting architecture that is a betterexpression of its culture, building methods, and technology. As stated by Viollet-le-Duc, “Themeans of healing this rupture could only be an education in which the architect is taughtengineering as well as art, and, optimally, the engineer learns how to practice his craft withappropriate artistry.” 1 Viollet’s theories are easily applicable to present day, because the basis ofhis ideas calls for the incorporation of new technologies and new materials into architecturaldesign. “A little reflection will show us the interests of the two professions will be best saved by their union…Whether the engineer acquires a little of our knowledge and love for artistic
distancelearning is to provide training and support through a predefined course package. This approachhowever is not consistent with what are considered “best practices” of teacher professionaldevelopment17. Any professional development program is most effective when it relates to theparticipants’ professional activities. Teachers bring with them a diverse set of strategies forteaching and learning from their own professional experiences. A more interactive environmentthat provides teachers with opportunity for structured reflection and discussion with colleagues isneeded. A support-led rather than by package-led form of distance learning is necessary. TheVirtualMedibotics™ program has been designed to provide pre-defined web-based instructionwith

However, the instruments were not designed for this application.Under the direction of Prof. Gummer, a graduate student in the Department will develop a new,specific instrument which will be used for all Fellows and GK-12 Teachers.Externa l evaluation: In the spring of the second year, we will assemble an evaluation team tospend a day meeting with focus groups (GK-12 Teachers, Fellows, students, Fellow advisors,Outreach and Department Liaisons, Leadership Team) and learning about the impacts of theprogram.

The beam design com-petition with subsequent fabrication and testing allows the students to see how the subjects theylearn in class translate to practice in a hands-on approach. The case studies build a broaderawareness of their field and introduce ethical issues into the class discussion. Page 10.1277.1* Designer of reinforced concrete.

, conducting research experiments, etc. • Reflective observation: In this stage, the learner reflects on the experience and synthesizes the experience for an extension to new domains. For example, while attending a conference, a student may be encouraged to reflect on a recent classroom learning experience. • Abstract conceptualization: In this stage, the learner forms new ideas or modifies existing ideas based on reflection. For example, after reflecting on the research problem, the learner may adjust their initial perception (learned during lectures) of how best to solve it. • Active experimentation: In this stage, learning is transferred to other settings around the learner.

This means that a lab session must be reserved for students to perform part testing. • Once the students determine the type of material, they need to defend their decision with sound engineering logic and with the results of their testing. Their testing results are to be compared and matched to material data from matweb.com. Students were also graded on their ability to organize their data. • Students were to describe the type of failure the part underwent: impact, tensile, fatigue, compression, shear, creep, or vibration. Also, students were to determine whether the part suffered a brittle

.” 2 To address thisneed there has been a vast amount of research pursued regarding what makes a good engineeringdesign team, typically focused on factors other than skill-set. The researchers have then proposedvarious recipes for creating the ideal design team based on various personality or thinking styleindicators. Unfortunately corporations in industry do not always have the freedom to assemblethe ideal design team based on these personality assessments. In most business settings, teamsare formed based on skills sets required for the tasks and which human resources happen to beavailable at the time. Though insightful, the current research into design team recipes has nottaken into account those constraints.The approach taken by professors
motivating, leading, and communicating with workers. Academicprograms should develop their programs to promote the development of these skills in theirstudents.The construction industry is expanding its use of technologies on construction projects as awhole, and safety practices and management specifically. Technological skills are becomingmore important for new graduates looking to enter the industry. New hires should be familiarwith technologies in the following areas: design and jobsite visualization (e.g., BIM, VR,AR), mobile communication, wearable sensors, smart sensors, and the various productionequipment and technologies used on projects. Incorporation of these technologies intocoursework should be a priority for academic programs. Emphasis
,and we desire to measure the impact of our course on each outcome with DiD analysis. Thissection briefly describes our ABET assessment strategies, and how we chose correspondingcontrol data for DiD analysis. At our institution, ABET data are only assessed and recorded forstudents whose programs require the course for graduation. Therefore, data from only electricalengineering students are considered in this section. Furthermore, the data are only recorded fromstudents who passed the course, which is standard practice for ABET assessment.Outcomes 5 and 6 were assessed via a group project assigned near the end of each semester,which in part required students to complete Ullman’s Team Health Assessment [6] based on theirgroup experience.

Keshwani and Curtis [2] found that sophomore students in biological engineeringare motivated by the opportunity to make this world a better place, help others solve problems,and improve other people's lives.

Since CBPs may containdesign projects at their core, they further help fulfill the ABET mandate to have a design-orientedcurriculum, an often-noted deficiency 9.Perhaps most directly, CBPs directly address the responsibility of universities to provideopportunities that allow young adults to mature in their sense of compassion and responsibilitytoward society at large. Research shows a continuing decline in civic engagement of collegegraduates during the last four decades, despite a paradoxically heightened graduate awareness ofthe need to do so 10.What schools actively engage in CBPs?It is not uncommon for engineering universities to supervise community-based projects as part ofa design capstone program; for
