world of ever-increasing global collaboration and commerce. In an effort to provide students with globaleducation opportunities, our university has developed and enhanced a Faculty Led EducationAbroad Program (FLEAP). The FLEAP program provides students an opportunity to participatein short-term study abroad programs where they are taught curriculum within an internationalsetting. These programs have proven to be an excellent example of engaged learning and providestudents with a global perspective that is unparalleled in any classroom. This paper will presentlearning and global awareness gains. The data presented are from a survey that was conducted onall the students who participated in the ENGR2012 FLEAP and have travelled to Germany aspart

For the first-year engineering students, experience project-based learning from the earlyage of the engineering curriculum help students improve teamwork, leadership, communication,and relevant knowledge [8]. Further, the learning through a collaborative project can beintegrated into later years of the engineering curriculum [9]. Project-based learning is widely implemented in teaching design thinking in theengineering curriculum [10]. However, just forming a project-based learning environment doesnot automatically guarantee enhanced engagement due to the nature of teamwork [11], [12].

Theauthors represent an interdisciplinary team contributing expertise from the fields of mathematics,computational science, and teacher education.IntroductionPostmodern technology is characterized by great complexity and demands tremendous modelingand abstraction capabilities. For students to be successful in most engineering program, theyshould be able to apply the mathematics to model this complexity1,2.

This uncertainty and anxiety may overwhelm any sense of inherentinterest they developed in the first-year.We take solace, however, in the fact that both intention and satisfaction were positivelycorrelated to students’ perceived attachment to their discipline (SPA) if only weakly. Though itis only anecdotal, we have continued to struggle to help our students develop an identity as amaterials engineer. This is due primarily to the fact that the field is highly multi-disciplinary andthus has no clear definition in the same sense that aerospace or civil engineering does. Thus, wetake these correlations as a positive sign that our efforts

The goal is a series of short courses helping teachers integrate topics of digital designinto their curriculums. While the use of streaming video and WebCT may not be the bestsolution (given some of the PC and bandwidth problems in some schools), the same generaltechniques developed during the class can be applied to CD-ROM and on-campus delivery of theshort courses.The long-term impacts to the course are just beginning to be considered. One option available tothe department is to make the course available online to on-campus students. This meanslectures would be available via WebCT and streaming video.

Studentswere exposed to the setup of the sensors and the associated software required to run the sensors. Thisallowed students to understand the role of indirect measurements (example voltage differences) and therole of calibration in obtaining hydraulic data. The ESP8266 allowed for integration of data with thecloud using ThingSpeak framework to demonstrate wireless sensing capabilities. The precision ofmeasurements were controlled via programming and students were asked to evaluate whichinstrumentation provided greater precision in an effort to dispel the myth that automatic dataacquisition does not
never gain the skills needed to tackle and solve challenging multidisciplinary problems that call for critical judgment and creativity according to ABET. Finally, even if nothing new is added to the existing curriculum, confining it to four years will be almostimpossible, unless more efficient and effective ways to cover the material can be found (Felderet. All., 2000). In that case, it becomes very difficult for new faculty to teach undergraduatestudents at a level it should be, and become successful in their academic career with the furtherexpectation of research and services. There is another belief among some of us: if we have significant industry experience, we can be an effective teacher and successful faculty or vice versa, meaning that

creator of this case study has a specific“answer” to the problem in mind. Burns et al. [ 19] agree saying “If a case is constructed by‘hinting’ at how to examine a set of predetermined principles, the student is being handed acontext that is built to reduce the disagreement to such a fundamental level that no actualsituation could ever resemble it. Most of the serious moral work is already done”. Conversely,when approaching narratives–whether on the page or a podcast – students share an implicitacknowledgement that bias, interpretation, and analysis are an integral part of the genre and,thus, look at the characters and their actions rather than searching for a specific answer to aproblem.The critical narratives we used for this particular study
introduces a method of using multidisciplinary teams to enhance levels of higher-order thinking and innovative problem solving within higher education. Traditional educationmethods may sometimes hinder the curiosity and inquisitiveness that drives innovation. Forinnovation to occur current knowledge must be questioned, solutions discussed, and ideasattempted and learned from regardless of success or failure in the outcomes. Our Innovation-Based Learning (IBL) framework provides students with both the freedom and responsibility todefine their own learning within an environment that applies innovative thinking to currentchallenges. By assembling multidisciplinary teams, students are forced to rethink and reframeconcepts that are familiar or dogmatic
