Topics to be studied include strength and fatigueconsiderations, shaft design, threaded fasteners, lubrication and bearings, springs, andfundamentals of gear analysis, including terminology, forces, and stresses. One additionalrequirement for this course is working on a team-based design project. For the Fall 2002 class, acommon feature of such design project was to present a case study on any one of the ethicalissues that are available in the literature along with some engineering calculations to appreciatehow engineering ethics play a very important role in the design of a system or a

Today’s ethical issues will assumeglobal proportions and our graduates must have the strong ethical foundation they will need todeal with issues involving equitable distribution of resources, byproducts of design, proprietaryinformation, sustainable development, environmental conservation, genetic engineering, andhuman cloning. They need to be familiar with legal and business aspects of engineeringsolutions and their social impact and have a foundation in best business practices andfundamentals of entrepreneurship.To position our graduates to compete and lead in a dynamic future, we must first ask ourselves:• What understandings

-answer exam questions. Due to the inclusion of case studies in student reading,assignments, and exams, as well as in classroom discussions, we have also been able to evaluatelearning outcomes such as oral and written communication skills and students’ understanding ofprofessional and ethical responsibility. This has been a boon both for our students and for ourdepartment in communications with ABET.Over six semesters assessed in this way, students in the continuum mechanics course haveachieved an average score of 4.3 on a 5-point scale. Unfortunately, the department initiated theuse of rubric-based assessment after the continuum mechanics course was developed, so data arenot available to compare these results with those for the former course

Copyright ©2003, American Society for Engineering Education We believe that PBL can be effectively implemented in engineering curricula. TheAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) considers the following to beamong the 11 required outcomes attained by engineering graduates [2]: ability to engage in life-long learning; ability to work in multidisciplinary teams; ability to identify, formulate and solveengineering problems; and ability to consider the ethical and social dimensions of engineeringsolutions. These outcomes are those that prove most difficult for engineering faculty to achieve inthe standard curriculum. Our approach is to combine improvement in these ABET-related processskills with the learning of critical

The basic concept andstructure of the course remains the same; however, activities and assignments for thestudents have seen fundamental changes. For example, when the course was established, inaddition to the weekly lab, there were two 1-hour lectures per week that involved all ~200students. The educational objective of the lectures was to provide an introduction for thestudents to many different aspects of engineering and design ranging from discussions ofengineering ethics and engineering and society to introduction to strength of materials andelementary electronics.
