Estudios Superiores de Monterrey(The Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Studies) has recently implemented abiomedical engineering degree program. Their classes have been acknowledged as“substantially equivalent” by ABET, making this an ideal starting point for an exchangeprogram (http://www.abet.org/subequi.shtml). An extremely exciting recentdevelopment is the initiation of accreditation programs for international universities suchas the ITESM [18]. As programs at these institutions become accredited, facilitatingthese types of exchanges will only get easier. Page 14.431.34. DiscussionIn an increasingly globalized industry, an understanding

Additionally, the team proposedSTEM Showcases for the communities in which the schools were situated. At these STEMShowcases, students could be the experts, showing off what they had accomplished, andcommunity members could learn and experience STEM through hands-on activities together.Schools were selected based on their location in high-need neighborhoods with active CDCs.JHU, through either the Center for Engineering Outreach or the School of Education, hadrelationships with some schools already, but not with the other schools.

,but rarely are patent or trademark searches required for projects. This is a disservice toengineering students.Of all the academic disciplines, engineering may encompass most of the patentable technologicalbreakthroughs, yet some engineering students are never exposed to IP education. If taught early,starting in the freshman year, and often, throughout the undergraduate education, IP educationwill be ingrained into the student’s creative thought process. It will also give the undergraduateengineering student other options upon graduation, perhaps to study patent law or technologytransfer.Incorporating IP into an undergraduate engineering curriculum need not replace any ABET(Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc.) or any

Most of the learningthat results in the expertise of the practicing scientist, engineer, or poet is accomplishedthrough hands and minds on a task. Just think of the contrast between the activities ofapprentices in a workshop and the passivity of pupils in a lecture hall.If we refocus our efforts on learning, professors can exploit information technology toprovide data, scholarly references, and simulated problems for cognitive workshops. Inthose workspaces, student investigators will work side by side with faculty. Togetherthey will learn to create, evaluate, improve, and

revolution, however, most of the problems to be solved by work-ing engineers will be novel problems, often created by new technology or the combination ofcross-disciplines. Certainly professors created knowledge previously in their minds, yet theytypically do not transmit to students the insights and judgments used in producing the knowl-edge. Providing students (especially Millennials) the reasons why selected information was in-cluded/excluded in course content is a critical part of the knowledging process. Useful insightson how experts (professors) differ from novices (students) enhance understanding.5Knowledging is to teach the student the process of creating by judgment the knowledge to solvethe given problem.

. Engineers, whetherstudents or professionals, need to remember that problem solving involves understanding theentire process; a black box solver should never be trusted! It is shameful that students andgraduates alike pick up a calculator to work simple sums, products, and functions that theyshould be exercising their minds to determine. Calculators, spreadsheet templates, computerprograms, and other technological devices save a great deal of time. They aren’t bad -- they justshouldn’t be used blindly. Users need to understand the basis and limitations of any technologybefore relying on it.Within any STEM field, a skill that requires careful development is that of effectivelycommunicating solutions.

In the case of the design componentof curricula, these outcomes define what the student has learned and is capable of doing withrespect to design. The set of outcomes which apply to all of the engineering disciplines becomecriteria for the curricula. Achievement of these outcomes requires assessment at critical pointsin the educational process if growth in student design ability is to be developed throughout thecurriculum. This perspective is reflected in proposed changes in accreditation requirements set bythe Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET, 1995).

anti-technology and anti-government attitude in the USA. Thegoals of the IDES division were to help recruit and retain students who had the ability to doengineering but also had other compelling interests. To retain maximum flexibility the decisionwas made to not seek ABET accreditation and to require a minimum of 30 credits ofengineering. Students were only allowed to follow plans of study that could not be done in oneof the standard disciplines offered at the university.By the early 21st century it was evident that IDES was serving two groups of students. Onegroup of students wanted an engineering education but did not plan to pursue an engineeringcareer. For example, these students were in preprofessional programs such as
