Further it is essential to include a variety of realistic constraints, such as economic factors, safety, reliability, aesthetics, ethics and social impact.”1Senior design is an apprentice-like involvement and the highlight of the undergraduate engineeringexperience. Most projects are sponsored by local industries or motivated by the needs of thedepartment or a faculty member. Since 2003, UST has tried to offer at least one of its senior designprojects to consider the needs of material-resource poor people at the base of the economicpyramid. These projects often bring to life the ‘realistic constraints, such as economic factors,safety, reliability
the weakness oftraditional lecture-based learning modules which may quickly become out of date for rapidlychanging areas like NSNT without diligent attention from well-informed instructors. By its nature,PBL-structured case studies promote learning at the cutting edge of a discipline and thus are well-suited to the emerging NSNT field.A central premise in using the case study technique is that the process of learning is just asimportant as the content [12]. In general, students work cooperatively during case studies to answerchallenging questions or to evaluate complex ethical issues. For PBL-structured case studies,students are expected to investigate and learn necessary content in order to understand the contextof a case. This requires

Program was originally founded through the Center for EnergyEfficient Electronics Science, and has since branched to multiple disciplines includedbiotechnology and robotics. TTE REU was designed as an intervention for students so thatthey would have an opportunity to build their confidence and knowledge in science andengineering with the goal that this intervention would lead to more students transferring to abachelor program. As discussed by S. Artis4, TTE REU brings students from communitycolleges around the state of California to the University of California, Berkeley to complete a9 week summer research internship. The first week of the internship has the students goingthrough a “laboratory bootcamp” where the students learn lab safety, ethics
political identity, social welfare, and perspectives ofdiversity. In reflecting on the personal impact of recent national events and how politicaldiscussions have or have not been integrated into their STEM courses, two themes emerged: 1)political awareness and 2) future-self impact. Findings revealed that first year engineeringstudents recognized the personal and social impacts current national events imposed on theirfriends, family, and society. However, students did not sense the significance of politicaldiscourse concerning the social impact and ethical practice of engineering. Our research showsthat limiting political discourse in the classroom and depoliticizing engineering spacescontributed to students dissociating the relevance of political

This emphasizes that anunderstanding of the cultural, ideological, political, and historical contexts in whichenvironmental problems occur is essential to solving our society’s most pressing environmentalproblems [2-3].Over the past decade, there has been increased interest in the academic field of the environmentalhumanities, along with a push to abandon the narrow disciplinary tradition of solving problems[2].

Every week students should submit theirdesign, and calculation. For example, if students use SONAR in their project, in the engineeringlogbook they must write all calculations and how to measure distance or in the case of motorconnection to micro-controller they must write in the logbook all calculations for the requiredcurrent.
