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

This effort resulted ina total of thirteen program outcomes, which cover the breadth of the principles included in theBOK2.In 2011 two external forces have resulted in changes to the BSCE program. The University ofArkansas is strictly enforcing the statewide ‘core curriculum’ for Arkansas institutions of highereducation. Formerly, the engineering programs at the University of Arkansas enjoyed anexception to the state core requirements by specifying humanities and social science (H&S)courses based on an interpretation of ABET EC2000 criteria. This allowed advanced-level H&Scourses in the curriculum. With the enforcement of the statewide core, all H&S courses arelimited to

Prototyping is usedby engineers to provide manufacturing and assembly data, to investigate system integrationissues and to develop analysis and testing strategies. In some cases, prototyping is also used inthe concept generation phase of the design process to assist designers to either expand or contractthe set of possible concepts. Clearly prototyping is an important part of most design processes.We define the prototyping strategy as the set of decisions that dictate what actions will be takento accomplish the development of the prototype(s).

. Oneconsequence of this is that in terms of chronology, formal education in engineering at theundergraduate level came into being before the profession was well-organized in the UnitedStates. As the just quoted phrase “mechanic arts” suggests, the term “mechanical engineer” was Page 25.537.3still somewhat uncommon in the 1860’s. Terms such as electrical engineer or chemical engineeror industrial engineer were coined during the just described fifty year period in which academicdisciplines were being created and defined.

programming assignments showed that the majority of first-yearstudents in programming courses do not meet the expectations of instructors at the end of theirfirst course in computing [2]. Engineering students are no different in this regard. One potentialreason for this discrepancy between the learning outcomes desired by instructors and studentperformance is that the instructional methods used as well as the course content do not matchwell with the learning styles of most engineering students.The idea of learning styles has been around since the early 1980’s [4] and there are manylearning style models and assessments. The most commonly used within engineering is theFelder-Silverman learning styles model [5], with its associated assessment, the Index

”.Engineers and non-engineers alike widely characterize engineering as a discipline whose purposeis to “solve problems”, and this is often framed as “design”1. Despite movements since at leastthe 1990’s to reform engineering education to integrate design throughout the curriculum,including during the freshman year, engineering curricula remain dominated by “linear” and “topdown” models that postpone the introduction of design. In this standard model, basic math andscience (“analysis”) courses are given during the first two years, followed by application of thisknowledge to conduct basic engineering analysis during the second and third years, andculminating in engineering design (e.g., capstone design projects) during the last year2, 3.
