long-term11-15. Case-Based instruction has been used extensively in medical andlaw schools to prepare students for the real world practices8,15-17. With the success of case-basedinstruction seen in medical and law curriculums, an increasing number of science, technology,engineering and math (STEM) instructors have begun to integrate cases into their courses. A newchampion for the use of cases in the sciences emerged in 1994 with the work of Herried andfunding from the National Science Foundation to form the National Center for Case StudyTeaching in the Sciences (NCCSTS). This educational pedagogy promotes the use of cases, orinteractive “stories”, to engage students in STEM courses and to help reform STEM instruction14,18-20 . These

Although shortlaboratory reports and two presentations were required and graded, there was not explicitinstruction or feedback given on writing. Instead, a majority of the focus of technicalcommunication instruction was on developing clear and well formatted plots and tables.Integrating an additional writing assignment explicitly designed with a revision process couldgive students an idea of what college level scientific writing looks like.Section Lecture/Activity Excel + Computer Math Laboratory

Computer ScienceDepartment, University of Washington7-10. The course itself might be unique in that it carries only two credits, is scheduled to meet onlytwice per week in fifty minute sessions, and still is expected to educate students to a depthcomparable to the typical preceding courses in mechanics, electricity and magnetism. Toprovide additional opportunities for problem solving, I hold an additional, strictly voluntary,recitation session each week. The course was created by me in response to curriculum changes in the School ofEngineering and taught for the first time in the fall 2004 semester. The population is about 180sophomores in the fall and about 100 sophomores in the spring. The spring class consists ofcoop students who have

All first year engineering students take Introduction to Engineering (ENGR5), acourse designed to introduce students to the different fields of engineering. Responsibility forteaching this core course is shared by all engineering departments within the School ofEngineering and Computer Science (SOECS) and the course is co-taught by five faculty of allranks and from different departments. The course allows faculty to develop close relationshipswith incoming students at an early stage. Two of the faculty who helped developed this retentionprogram were also responsible for teaching ENGR5. Program components were integrated aspart of ENGR5 and subsequent

careful design of educational projects is necessary. Nevertheless, astrong integration of PBL into engineering curriculum can have a positive effect on thedevelopment of broad competencies in engineering graduates, beyond the scope of basictechnical competence [8].The features of successful PBL experiences depends on many factors. One significant aspect isthe academic maturity of the students. For example, a successful project for seniors may attempta significant amount of complexity and in-discipline knowledge [7] while projects gearedtowards freshmen may rely more on instinctual or qualitative judgments than any engineeringanalysis skills. To facilitate the transition of students from this “seat-of-the-pants design” modeto a more mature

Therefore in a flipped classroom, activities that historically have beenperformed in class are performed at home and vice versa, i.e. a re-ordering of the traditional classstructure.It is increasingly becoming evident that a more specific definition of the flipped classroom isnecessary, as instead of merely a re-ordering, the successful flipped course actually expandsbeyond the typical course curriculum by including activities based on proven active learningmethods focused on knowledge integration and application2.

A total of 10 campuses participated in theToy FUNdamentals curriculum. At some participating campuses, all sections of freshmanengineering design included the toy design curriculum.

These requirements were established to ensureacademic equilibrium among participants.To elaborate on the application process, each prospective participant underwent an interview toassess their interests and understanding of sustainability concepts. Questions concerned theirperceptions of sustainability, its potential applications within their engineering-focuseduniversity curriculum, and how they envisioned integrating sustainability principles into theirfuture careers. The responses collected during these interviews were analyzed to establish apreliminary ranking of candidates. This ranking was further evaluated by two university facultymembers, each with distinct expertise: one specializing in sustainability

Figure 4 clearly shows thevarying levels of satisfaction of graduates with respect to their preparation in the college. Thedata is stratified with five-year increments (nominal duration for graduation). The collegegraduates prior to 1995 consider themselves not prepared for most of the outcomes.Significant improvements in the level of satisfaction of the graduates after 1995 is due to theefforts of the college to improve design education and its integration in the programs.Furthermore, in the latter years, there has been an increased awareness

Stage three:the stage of pondering and deliberations, which has lingered on for a long time, is characterizedby calls from industries, engineering graduates, and invited experts, for more rounded engineerswith the skills and abilities to function in a modern business climate. Unfortunately, the responseto these calls has been slow. The “piece meal” approach and/or periodic adjustments to analready over-burdened curriculum, in an attempt to meet a broad set of demands, have not beeneffective in meeting objectives, and have convinced many stakeholders that the time has comefor a radical departure from the traditional layered and sequential structure that has prevailed fordecades.
