Figure 1: Roadmap for the online courseOne important principle the instructor applies is to use more low bandwidth and lowasynchronous teaching techniques. Figure 2 shows the four teaching techniques categories basedon the bandwidth and immediacy. Teaching techniques with high bandwidth and highsynchronous, such as live-stream lectures would have high requirements for electronicequipment and the internet stability and speed. An online course that relies heavily on thoseteaching techniques would place extra stress to students who have limited access to

However, unlikemany implementations of curriculum reform4, our proposed changes will go well beyond thecreation of a class or classes. Infrastructure concepts will be interwoven throughout the re-mainder of the curriculum to provide students with a better understanding of the challenges tobe faced in improving, securing, and maintaining the national infrastructure.In addition to learning about infrastructure in classes, students will evaluate infrastructurecomponents in local communities using

The goal of this project is todevelop a mechanical engineering program where students and faculty are immersed in a cultureof doing engineering with practicing engineers that in turn fosters an identity of being anengineer. This culture of “Engineering with Engineers” is created through changes in four areas:shared vision, reflective faculty, relevant curriculum and pedagogy, and supportive policies. Ineach, a variety of actions create the cultural change, address barriers to change, and ensuresustainability. A common theme unifying these changes is a significant connection to

This may even bethe case for today’s engineering students. For the most part, current technologies are included inthe engineering and engineering technology curriculum. However, technologies from the past arenot. To remedy the situation, a project was initiated to enhance the engineering student’sknowledge of how past technologies were developed.
