Kettering University sends the majority of itsstudents to Western Europe (mostly to Germany). While Americans who study abroadtypically study in the humanities and social sciences, notable increases have been seen inbusiness and technical fields such as engineering and in hard science fields.Safety has been one of the main concerns for all study abroad programs in the years followingSeptember 11, 2001.

Learning approach should be equally effective in a curriculum for Bioengineering majorsas well.In Contextual Based Learning, the fundamental biology and physiology required of Bioengineerscan be introduced to the students in the context of design problems, the solution of whichrequires an understanding of specific engineering concepts. In such a modular learningenvironment, an integrated understanding of the science, along with the analytic skills and howthey are utilized to solve design problems, are presented in a coherent context, providing thestudents with incentive to learn material which in a traditional content based approach mayappear arbitrary and dull. Importantly, the fundamental engineering knowledge can beintroduced over an extended

needand desire to reduce the gap in student learning and real world problem solving asgraduates enter the workforce. The National Academy of Engineering has appealed toengineering programs to integrate theory and practice in the curriculum, and introducemore innovative learning methods that simulate industrial decision making in theclassroom and laboratory [1]. Hence, the challenge for engineering educators is the useof more innovative methods for instruction and learning to replicate real world problemsolving, and provide an environment for intellectual exchange of ideas and solutions in aclassroom setting. This is further reinforced by the Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology (ABET) to encourage the use of a cadre of tools and
adjusting teaching methodsin the classroom to accommodate student learning styles. One teaching method proven effective iscomics, where panels of animations are coupled with informative text. Though commonlyperceived in an entertainment setting, comics provide an effective alternative to traditionalteaching methods such as textbooks or lectures1. In this study, comics have been specifically usedto demystify the field of chemical engineering and introduce the many opportunities it presents tostudents and professionals alike. 1.1 Chemical Engineering Enrollment The perception of chemical engineering curriculums in national undergraduate programs, aswell as of existing post-graduate opportunities, are often restrictive in nature. Students often
the benefits of a studio pedagogical model, provide details regardingthe intended course structure, and discuss a series of studio projects to be completed by students.Mobile Studio Design PedagogyThe studio design model is a central part of the curriculum for architectural programs, where it isused to foster creativity and develop a student’s understanding of the design process. The studiodesign model also assists students by integrating other issues such as societal impact and legalrequirements into the design process. Because the design process is core to engineering, studiodesign principles are increasingly being used in engineering curriculums8.Features of the design studio include project based assignments (studio projects) that

The reflection should becontinuous throughout project, that is, it should happen before, during, and after the experience.The connection component should link the service experience to the course curriculum. Thereflection should challenge students to engage with current issues, while also contextualizing thework in a way that fits the specific project. Finally, coaching is necessary for supporting studentsintellectually, emotionally and academically.Student reflections can also be useful tools for the

For example, Busch-Vishniac andJarosz (2004) suggested that integration of team experiences to the curriculum of engineeringthat traditionally had been left to senior year, in earlier years would improve the reputation ofengineering and help students enjoy the academic experience more. Similarly, Gunasekera andFriedrich (2009) argued that the dominant theory-based and not value-oriented pedagogies inSTEM “alienate those students who learn best in creative, cooperative settings that considervalue and emphasize design and synthesis” (p. 162).Intentional instruction about teamwork, particularly when it emphasizes diverse teams andinclusive work practices, offers students professional skills they need to be successful, while

multidisciplinary approach aligns well with STEM problem solving. Despite its advantages, implementing education, where hands-on learning is a critical PBL poses challenges. Resource demands, assessment component in fostering engagement and improving complexities, and the need for faculty training can hinder retention [4].

Successful integration requires institutional dynamics course where students struggled with pulley commitment, collaboration with industry, and robust systems. Initially, the concept remained abstract despite evaluation models. Blended learning and online resources have shown promise in expanding PBL’s reach

We should be intentional about usingassessment results in an actionable, impactful way. The tenets of CIPF deem both assessment ofteaching and student learning essential. Assessment is an imperative and integrative componentof critical pedagogy that addresses classroom diversity. If assessment is used properly, it cantransform the hegemonic relationship between students and instructors.
