. Therefore, to work towards a sustainable future, it is important to educatefuture engineers to develop skills needed to effectively work in multidisciplinary teams. Manytechniques may be used to include sustainability within the engineering curriculum. Forexample, students may be required to analyze case studies and present and discuss the topics Page 14.21.3learned (Paten et al., 20059). Additionally, promoting student creativity is an important aspect ofsustainability education.The US Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) updated its accreditationcriteria (EC 200010) towards developing a more flexible set of guidelines to

Cognitive Load Theory to Improve Traditional and Non-Traditional Student Learning of Computer Programming for Mechanical Engineers: Quantitative Assessment ABSTRACTThis paper reports on the re-design of a computer programming class for students of mechanicalengineering. The content was re-designed using Cognitive Load Theory; the delivery was re-designed using on-line technologies. Student learning was objectively assessed; it improved andthe drop-out rate reduced. A previous paper reported on greatly improved student attitudes andinstructor reviews. This paper reports on objective data: comparing student performance onidentical final exams. Note is made of

Course materials andassignments consider intuitionism, which is a person’s intuitive reaction to ethical issues, threeethical theories – i.e., utilitarianism, respect for persons (Kantian deontology), and virtue ethics –and the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) code of ethics.
