(STEM)education, there have been nearly continuous calls for curriculum innovation and improvement.In the past 20 years, however, many of these calls have intensified and focused on theincorporation of interdisciplinary, problem-based, “real-world” learning in one form or another.These range from more general reports like those coming from the Boyer Commission1 in thelate 1990’s, to specific work that led to the restructuring of the ABET accreditation processthrough EC20002. More recently, publications by the National Academy of Engineering such as“The Engineer of 2020”3 and “Educating the Engineer of 2020”4 have reenergized the call forinnovation in STEM curricula. Philadelphia University is a small, private university with a long tradition
process of developing new cross-disciplinary mastersprograms, and while several grant proposals have been submitted by Institute faculty, this will bea priority moving into the future. In the short amount of time that the undergraduate programshave been in place, a total of about 60 new students have entered the program or will be enteringthe program at the start of the fall 2012 semester. The work on the Institute of Environment,Sustainability, and Energy continues, and new objectives continue to be developed andimplemented.References 1.

The search for the second tenure track is ongoing. Merging thedepartments also allowed CEE faculty to become part of a program that is involved inundergraduate teaching. Often funding of public institutions is based heavily on UG enrollmentand not having a UG program put CEE in a difficult position given the resource challenged Page 25.1077.11atmosphere.

Currently, the authors are working to develop a long-termcollaborative relationship with a fourth Brazilian university (PUC-Rio). For this purpose, bothauthors will lead a workshop on “Methods and Strategies for Engineering Education, CurriculumDesign, and Program Assessment” which will be held at PUC-Rio during April 18-20, 2012.Forty participants from this and other universities are expected to attend this workshop. Theobjectives of the workshop are to: (i) Introduce methods and strategies related to first-yearengineering education, technology in the classroom, curriculum design, and academic programassessment, (ii) Present

. Assessment criteria can include: (a) Whether the problem was accurately defined (the Problem as State & Problem as Understood)? (b) Did the solution(s) solve the problem? (c) Did the student engage in critical thinking? (d) How is the solution going to be implemented? (identify concerns). (e) During student presentations: evaluate the use visuals, and presentation preparation & skills. (f) During group/team presentations: evaluate the quality of collaboration and initiatives undertaken by individual team members.(3) Student input should be part of the assessment process: Use class discussions to evaluate/critique PBL assignments/activities.
