While much of the lecture material was similar to that presented in the old circuitscourse, one objective was to integrate some electronics and signals material in this first course.The addition of this new material necessitated selective removal of previously-covered circuitsmaterial, i.e. details of transient and phasor analysis, that would now be covered in futurecourses. The decision was made to include more exposure to diodes and to add a significantintroduction to MOS transistors in this first course. An introduction to the Fourier series wasadded to enhance the analysis of simple circuits excited by sinusoids.While the selection and integration of new material was somewhat challenging, much more workwas required to integrate the

Specifically, CL has been found to develop social support for learners, builddiversity in understanding concepts, develop learning communities, increase student self-esteem,reduce student learning anxiety, and promote critical thinking skills, among other benefits (Laal& Ghodsi, 2011; Johnson & Johnson, 1989; Pantiz, 1999).

passion for the engineering profession among students. Theseprograms often adopt engaged pedagogies that integrate technical and non-technical (e.g., ethicsand communication) competencies into the curriculum. A major goal of such an integrativeapproach to engineering education is to present students with a more holistic vision of theengineering profession, and communicate to students that skills necessary for good, responsibleengineering are integrative by nature. Therefore, it is relatively natural that instructors oftenassess the efficacy of these pedagogies in their classes in terms of how these pedagogies affectstudents’ ethical perceptions and the development of their ethical competencies. As a result,some first-year engineering instructors

In brief, the Electrical Engineering undergraduate core curriculum modelincludes a total of six 1-quarter hour (3 contact hours/week) laboratory courses during thesophomore and junior years. These courses are designated Lab I (1st quarter sophomore) throughLab VI (3rd quarter junior).

, this provides us with a good starting point to thinkabout how cases can be effectively integrated in engineering ethics as an instructional method.ConclusionWhile case-based instruction is clearly the most commonly employed method of ethicsinstruction in the engineering curriculum, it is by no means the only method. Other methods ofintegrating ethics into the engineering curriculum include the use of external course work (e.g.,philosophy classes), service-learning projects, team-based senior design course work, and theacross the curriculum approach (integration of ethics in multiple courses throughout theacademic career). However, we know little about whether or not the use of case studies is betterthan the other methods of ethics

Results suggest that more practice with higher order skills in context of the engineeringdesign process at additional points during the curriculum may be necessary to enable students toretain these skills. Additional recommendations based on the analysis include making ILrequirements in the Capstone grading rubric more explicit and granular, and combiningengineering subject matter experts and engineering librarians to collectively score students’work. This may be a path to enabling more rubric-based assessments of IL in the engineeringdiscipline.BackgroundMechanical Engineering students at Northeastern University

There have been numeroussuccessful efforts in exploring efficient methods to integrate engineering design education intothe first year curriculum in undergraduate programs [4-7]. According to Sheri Sheppard andRollie Jenison’s study [8], one of the most important reasons for an increase in design practice atthe freshman level is the “Recognition of Freshman Attrition.” A U.S. Department of Education(DOE) longitudinal study of undergraduate engineering programs pointed out that the retentionrate during the freshman and sophomore years in an engineering program is much lower thanthat during the

additional applications of FEA. Finite element analysis can be also implemented instatic, transient, or highly dynamic ways. In short, FEA is becoming limited more so by whatapplication one can construct versus the stability and robustness of the tool itself.Teaching finite element analysis encompasses two main efforts within the classroom: 1) themathematical foundation of the finite element method itself, and 2) the proper application of thismethod to engineering problems. Each effort may independently be worthy of a semester-longcourse, yet this is an unreasonable expectation in an undergraduate curriculum. It can either beintroduced with coding such as MATLAB (Mueller, 2003), commercial tools (Kurowski, 2014),or both. However, for undergraduate
