Engineering at NC State Universitychanged from offering a Biological and Agricultural Engineering (BAE) degree withconcentrations in Biological, Environmental/Soil and Water, Food, and Power and Machinery,which was ABET-accredited under the guidelines for agricultural engineering programs, to adegree in Biological Engineering (BE) that followed the ABET guidelines for biologicalengineering. The revised curriculum offered students a choice of four concentration areas:Agricultural, Biomedical, Bioprocess, and Environmental Engineering. The revised degreeprogram reflected the facultyÀs vision that biological engineering will play an important role inengineering activities in the 21 st century and was also a response to declining enrollments thatbegan in

This presentation, however, focuses on the novelcontributions of the authors as they have adapted and transformed the core material offered at their own institutions,and also describes the authors’ attempts to modularize structural art content so that it can be offered at institutionswithout a dedicated course.Key themes of the authors’ work have been to: (1) introduce contemporary examples of structural art and structuralartists to curriculum; (2) enrich the course with in-class demonstrations and lab exercises related to structural formfinding; (3) develop the idea of environmental loading as a force to be responded to by the designer, therebyintroducing sustainability into the idea of structural art; (4) integrate computerized structural

ExpectationsAbstractThis work-in-progress paper presents an ongoing evidence-based practice implementingintegrative professional communication activities derived from an investigation of professionalcommunication expectations of industry co-curricular partners. Contemporary pedagogicalapproaches, such as problem-based learning and entrepreneurially minded learning, have as acentral focus the desire to expose students to authentic experiences which integrate technicalknowledge with workplace skills connected to professionalism, communication, collaboration,and leadership. This approach can conflict with traditional engineering curricula where theinstruction of technical skills are frequently separated or deemed more important than “softskills” instruction in

The necessary background to the demands of each semester was not provided,and so there was merely an interdisciplinary bias to the projects developed at this stage.Examples included a mini sailing boat and a lyophilization machine. Despite promotingteamwork, planning and construction, these new projects did not add conceptual componentsrelated to mechatronics.In 2005 the original team resumed the project, seeking to return to the guidelines used at thebeginning of the course, but in a new situation: the curriculum had been changed and a disciplinenamed “interdisciplinary work” had been introduced.

among engineering educators on how to measure and documentperformance in this area. Though not a panacea, institutional design portfolios are proposed as a tool to helpassess and communicate the design content of an institution’s curriculum. The design portfolio can be a usefulmechanism for a program to articulate its design philosophy, document how student design experiences haveput that philosophy into practice, reflect on successful design exercises and evaluate the students’ completedesign experience. Creating and using a design portfolio highlights design as a developmental skill within theengineering curriculum and allows the faculty to focus on design as an integrated component of engineeringeducation.

Aspects related to broader questions and concerns, suchas the impact of technology on society, are not closely linked to the traditional elements of thecurriculum.
