Bohm’s research examines the intersection of 3 distinct areas, engineering design, engineering education, and big data. Currently, Bohm has an active NSF grant under the Division of Undergraduate Education to examine the effects of systems modeling paradigms with respect to design outcomes and systems thinking and understanding. While at UofL, Bohm was primarily responsible for overseeing the Mechanical Engineering Department’s capstone design program. Prior to his position at UofL, Bohm was a visiting researcher at Oregon State University (OSU) after completing his PhD at the Missouri University of

skills intoengineering curricula. As a result, engineering education is starting to change.One major area of change in engineering education is in design. Although design is widely considered asthe most distinguishing and fundamental activity of engineering [1], most curricula have it either isolatedin the senior year or sometimes also in the first year. Now, as the engineering curriculum has progressed,first year design courses, known as the cornerstone engineering courses, and fourth year design courses,referred to as capstone courses, have seen increased development as well [1]. However, these capstonecourses serve as the only standard opportunity across engineering education for undergraduateengineering students to showcase their engineering

not difficult to repeat each term. Many timesstructural engineering and construction courses see projects under construction, which are good,but each term the trip must change as the construction evolves and eventually must end. The keyis trying to find an existing project that does not change. This greatly reduces the overhead ofthe field trip. Even better is to find such a structure or location right on campus to minimizetravel requirements. If all else fails, do a virtual tour with photos and video. This approach maybe even better suited to some classes that do not lend themselves to obvious physical applicationsnear campus. The object is to show the student how the education gained in your class can applyto their future professions. “The
