As part of a collaborative, large-scale NationalScience Foundation project, this paper describes our first efforts to develop MEAs whichincorporate a laboratory or hands-on component.We will explain more about MEAs momentarily, but first wanted to provide more motivationsfor this specific effort. When teaching thermodynamics on the quarter system, we typicallycover the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics for both open and closed systems in thirty50-minute class sessions. Due to the rushed nature of this class, there are many fundamentalconcepts which do not get the care and

These can be fulfilled in several different ways. First, there is alecture during the week, common to all teams, that covers topics centered around engineeringdesign and analysis techniques, communication, leadership, and ethics. Attending a lecturecounts for one of the required activity credits.The other way for a student to fulfill the required number of activity credits is to attend what arereferred to as skill sessions in EPICS.

creativity, there is also an increasingneed for faculty to educate students on the ethical implications and environmental consequencesof the tasks they perform as future engineers. The faculty has to balance this with other dutiessuch as scholarly development, accreditation, committee assignments, and other servicerequirements. In short, to be successful it is imperative that the engineering faculty acquire andpossess strong management expertise along with varied technical skills.Typically, all faculty members in universities have certain common responsibilities such ashaving to commit themselves to their teaching obligations; participate in the development of theprograms of their departments and schools and of the university as a whole, engage in

While "millions of dollars" havebeen offered "through a coalition of universities to try to break up old styles of teaching," manyschools "still couldn't overcome the 'cultural issue of change' among faculty members." Therehave been some successes, however. Georgia Tech's biomedical engineering program uses a"problem-based approach" that "helps attract and teach many types of engineering students,especially women, who have been traditionally reluctant to consider engineering."Students too are voicing
