Methods3.1 Course overview and study design At the University of Pittsburgh, a course entitled “Controlled Drug Delivery” is offered as a cross-discipline (bioengineering and chemical engineering), upper-division elective for undergraduate students, and an engineering elective for bioengineering graduate students. Upon completing the course, the student should be able to (1) state the constraints on material properties posed by the physiological environment; (2) use the fundamentals of polymers, diffusion, degradation, modeling and pharmacokinetics to solve problems specific to controlled drug delivery; and (3) demonstrate ability to search and summarize

The detailed curriculum information underscores aholistic approach to engineering education, emphasizing not just the technical aspects of designand manufacturing but also the broader impacts of engineering solutions.[14]MET 300 Principles of Engineering DesignSustainable Design:The course incorporates sustainable design practices, including life cycle assessment (LCA
of a Communication Lab (Comm Lab), a co-curricularintervention designed to provide peer-to-peer writing and communication support to engineeringand science students. At its core, the Comm Lab is a STEM-specific writing center wherestudents can meet face-to-face with a peer knowledgeable in their discipline to get feedback onSTEM writing and communication genres. On the organizational level, however, the Comm Labis distinguished by its emphasis on adaptation of structure and services to the desired institutionalcontext. Thus, our research asks which features of the Comm Lab can or should be adapted innew institutional contexts and which features must be retained across contexts to make iteffective. By answering this question for our specific

Learning Labs are a two part hands oncollaborative learning experience designed for students to apply theories, models and processesinto practice and

But by their very nature as electives, technical elective courses should not beteaching material that is expected to be learned by every student graduating from a particularengineering discipline. Requiring students to take several such courses may impact their abilityto take courses from other disciplines which may be beneficial to them in achieving theirpersonal career goals. Therefore, it is important for engineering programs to consider the resultsthey are intending to achieve by requiring students to take technical electives, how these coursesmay be impacting the overall education of the students, and what is an appropriate number oftechnical elective courses to require.

when they know why/what they are learning, when they see applications on how the knowledge is used, when given time to think and share thoughts with others, and when they engage in active learning. Thus, to design the learning experience we have asked course designers to answer the following questions: • How will students learn? • How do we best prepare them for industry practice? • What resources are needed? • When and where will the learning take place? • Who is responsible? Page 26.1354.5 • What experiences will help students learn the knowledge and develop the skills, attitudes and values

ways, if any, do student understandings change between their first and second years?Broader Project BackgroundThis analysis used an existing data set generated as part of a larger project that encompasses sixuniversities across three countries. Member institutions are equally distributed, two each fromthe United States, United Kingdom, and South Africa. The research team for this project includesfaculty and graduate students from all three countries, with direct representation from five of thesix included institutions. The objective of the project is to capture various aspects of the studentexperience over the course of a student’s undergraduate career and is thus a longitudinalundertaking beginning in the first year and ending with the

The next few paragraphs offer the justification used to gain approval for thecourse and show how this is embedded within a larger (and growing) UAS/aerospace program within UAF.Impact. This course was designed to have minimal negative impact on university resources, requiring noadditional facilities and faculty. The course content builds upon existing graduate course material alreadytaught by UAF faculty (AERO 654, UAS Design, and AERO 656, Aerospace Systems Engineering). In addition, thiscourse leverages other undergraduate courses being developed as part of the proposed UAS OperationsCertificate and Occupational Endorsement Program (OEP). The course was also intended to leverage expertiseand synergy across

Projects and problems must be realistic and motivating but also incorporatedomain knowledge that is accessible to students. There is a risk that problems can become overlycomplicated—projects must be designed with the right amount of ‘messy’.”The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Foundations for Innovation inCyber-Physical Systems report [4] as well as the European ARTEMIS Research agenda [5] pointsout similar needs across many CPS domains.

However, it is not a crisis of just technicalissues. What is needed with respect to global learning and experience is more than just technicalcompetence and expertise.

withmanufacturing practices, it is important to utilize a variety of specialized tools to implementproduct designs. However, the ability of institutions to meet these goals in fiscally austere timesis proving to be difficult for all but those with the financial resources to acquire costly industrialgrade equipment.In order for manufacturing and vocational programs to survive, they must adapt and becomecost conscious. And, when cost-saving measures are necessary, it is important to ensure that theprogram will still satisfactorily prepare students to enter the job-market as qualified workers.While it may not be necessary for graduates in some program areas like engineering todemonstrate proficiency in the use of specialized manufacturing equipment, it is
