capacity of engineersto integrate technical expertise, socio-cultural analysis and professional ethics in analyzing andsolving real-world engineering problems was investigated5.Another interdisciplinary pedagogy relating to engineering and business is a study involvingindustrial and biomedical engineering students working as a team with marketing students4. Thestudents were assigned to develop a new medical device including the phases of design,production, and marketing of the new product. The authors reported that the interdisciplinaryenvironment greatly facilitated student learning, as well as enhanced mutual accountability andmutual respect.Course SyllabusThe central points discussed in classroom were: 1.

Core Courses in mathematics from college algebra through calculus in the range of 12 to 14credit hours in addition to major courses such as, Introduction to Nanotechnology, EngineeringComputations, Materials in Nanotechnology, Nanotechnology in Engineering, and Ethical andSocial Issues in Nanotechnology (Core courses will depend on different concentrations). Fornanoelectronics, the required courses may include Introduction to Solid-State Electronics,Fundamentals of Quantum and nanoelectronics, Silicon and Advanced Material Devices, andIntroduction to Micro Electro Mechanical Systems; for materials, chemistry, and bioengineering,the required courses may include Introduction to Materials Science, Physical Chemistry
stage. In the course, these process stages and visual steps are used tostructure and facilitate a semester long, student-directed, teacher-facilitated design project inwhich students are asked to design an innovative, inventive, or inspirational idea. Students arefree to choose a project focus in their area of interest. Students in the Digital Media program tendto choose topics such as: character, product, and game design, and architectural, interior, andenvironmental visualization. Self motivation, individuation, and actualization are pedagogicaldrivers that dramatically improve the students’ work ethic and academic performance.ScopeThe scope of this paper is intended to provide an outline of a design process and to describevisual thinking

that time, these programs put a minimal emphasis on what was known as “softskills”. These education deficiencies were corrected mainly through feedback from employers and by theaccreditation criteria from ABET. The traditional accreditation criteria started addressing these issues and thecurrent TC2K criteria from TAC of ABET has stressed the emphasis on the abilities of graduates tocommunicate, work in teams, understand and value lifelong learning and ethical issues, thus helping to closethe gap between the student’s preparation at graduation and “the real world”. Furthermore, colleges anduniversities have intensified their student support services, offering workshops and similar activities forstudents to learn how to write resumes, dress
themselves, and the other at the Archeology Laboratory at CinnamonBay in the Park, demonstrating the close-range photogrammetry results to that point.

These courses are designed to introduce first yearengineering students to basic engineering topics: 3D visualization and modeling, ethics,engineering design and problem solving, software proficiency, and technical communications
, andmathematics.IntroductionThe use of visual-based systems in modern culture and education is becoming more prevalent,requiring schools to adapt their curricula and instructional practices accordingly. Visual literacyis becoming central to curricular initiatives as society begins to rely heavily on visualization andvisual communication strategies 1. Education, aesthetics, communication, ethics, research, andother aspects of learning have placed emphasis on visual science and visual literacy as a responseto our increasingly complex, highly visual, and interconnected society 2. Developinginstructional materials and methods of instruction that develop visualization abilities, meeting theneeds of technology educators, and preparing students for future careers in STEM areas

of the course. Theaddition of more TAs is both a gift and curse because it provides more manpower to pick up theresponsibilities of the course. More personnel also adds a new dynamic, namely, group work.As engineers we encourage group work, due to its obvious benefits6,7. As every undergradengineer learns, working in a group can also be very difficult due to the varying personalities andwork ethics of the group members. These same challenges extend to working in a team of TAs. • Delegate course responsibilities equally emphasizing that each team member reserves an equal share of the work • Assign tasks based on each members strengths

This remodeling, in part,reflected on the basic mathematics courses and the complementary courses (social andeconomical aspects of engineering, ethics, etc.). It
