The design projecthas engaged students and faculty from materials science, mechanical engineering, and civilengineering through an entire academic year experience. While the student design team ischallenged with developing a final product that integrates all aspects of their engineeringdisciplines, the faculty team is also charged with ensuring the students gain a valuable academicexperience within this project.

More equipment has been procured for civil materials and faculty are currentlybuilding up the introduction to environmental engineering laboratory course with a largepurchase of equipment at the start of the fall 2015 semester.The other major concern was to require a third natural science course in the curriculum.Chemistry and physics, each with two courses, are integral to the curriculum. It was determinedthat biology could be used as that third science course. Fortunately for this accreditation cycle,transcripts for all six initial graduates indicated that the students had taken a biology course. Forall current and future students, an immediate curriculum change was instituted to requirebiology. In the future, the third science course may be

To address the competencies of the future engineer, undergraduate education must trainstudents to not only solve engineering challenges that transcend disciplinary boundaries, but alsocommunicate, transfer knowledge, and collaborate across technical and non-technical boundaries.One approach to train engineers in these competencies is teaching biomimicry or bio-inspireddesign in an engineering curriculum, which offers

curricular content makes a difference in shaping the beliefs and expectationsstudents hold as they transition into their professional careers. Such an assumption is warrantedgiven the way other topics appear in the curriculum. For example, if an emphasis on teamworkand problem-solving were not perceived as relevant to professional practice, then one would notexpect them to receive as much attention as they do4,5. Similarly, engineering ethics is anothersuch pivotal topic, and therefore one would expect it to appear in undergraduate courses. Yet,this is not uniformly the case.

This lack of interaction leaves some students unsure of what it is they have cometo this program to accomplish, which can lead to students deciding to switch majors to one inwhich they better understand the process.To make sure this is not the case in our program, and to expose students to the concepts ofstructural integration early in their education, the three AE faculty members agreed to beinvolved with this Studio I design project, and have been for many years.
