During each day of the camp, a“Lunch-n-Learn” was hosted by a corporate sponsor. On day 1 Maverick Technologies talkedabout process controls and automation, while on day 2 Lubrizol spoke to the students aboutspecialty chemicals. Lunch-n-learn sponsors were also asked to present on topics such as “Whatchemical engineers do” or “The importance of internships and co-ops”. In addition to giving thestudents valuable insights on these topics from an industry recruitment team’s perspective, thehosts were asked to discuss their own experiences and career opportunities within their

Detailed course descriptions of curriculum progressionThis paper shows how model-based system design, as has been described, is integrated inselected courses in all four years of the Mechanical Engineering undergraduate curriculum. Thecourses where this has been implemented are presented in Table 1 and are required courses forall students working toward a Bachelor’s of Science in Mechanical Engineering. This approachis the model-based design counterpart to the “Design Spine” discussed by Sheppard et al.6 whorethought the curriculum at Stevens Institute of Technology to emphasize design throughout allfour years. An initial cohort of freshman engineering students started the proposed model-baseddesign sequence in the fall 2015 semester. Assessment

hasbegun promoting a strong culture of Active Cooperative Learning (ACL). ABET, theAccreditation Board of Engineering and Technology, has recommended this pedagogicalapproach as a method because focusing students on real-world problems can increase theirmotivation. 4 By using the live case study approach in this class, the traditional student group,expanded to include the mentor, can work together to synthesize their understanding of theapplication, through the question and answer process. The students can reinforce the conceptswith each other through the process of writing reflective papers on how their mentor companyapplies the techniques. Finally, the objective of this method is pulled together by the NationalAcademy of Engineering report
