Professional responsibility is modeledand practiced throughout as timeliness, respect, appropriate dress, appropriate language are allmade explicit with continuous feedback coming from faculty and staff. Teamwork skills areprovided in seminars and practiced in design teams. Multiple workshops per week address topicssuch as: inclusion, ethical action, leadership, reflection, management, happiness, life-workbalance, overcoming adversity, and communication. Each week during the EDP students writethree one-page learning journal entries, most of

This is our university’s motto [1]. It fits well with theintents and purposes of service-learning for students. Service-Learning has long been proven tobe an effective tool for engineering education [2], [3], [4]. In a National Academy of Engineering(NAE) report titled Educating the Engineer of 2020 - Adapting Engineering Education to theNew Century, service-learning is listed as one of six

relating to curriculum design in engineeringas well as to suggest ways in which teaching in engineering classrooms can be improved formaximum benefit to both instructors and students.Background One major goal of engineering education is to prepare students who possess disciplinaryknowledge, technical skills, and are capable of identifying and applying solutions to complexproblems [1]. These engineering traits have also been recommended in publications such as TheEngineer of 2020 [2]. In this report attributes of the future engineer are explicitly described aspossessing strong analytical skills, practical ingenuity, creativity, good communication,leadership roles such as in business and management, demonstrated levels of ethics

In this way ABET is formally making a push to include sustainability into all engineeringcurricula. They further this point by the inclusion of the revised Criterion 3, Outcome 5, whichstates [1]: An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contextsThere are multiple valid definitions of

The second course is a 2 credit-hour course typically taken in the Springsemester [7]. While the first course focuses on topics of relevance to all engineering majors, thesecond course focuses on design-related activities relevant to the mechanical engineeringprofession and covering the topics of CAD [8], forces on structures [9], thermal energy and fluidsystems
