We suggest thatecological engineering curricula should be offered only at the graduate level, and shouldrequire rigorous ABET-accredited (or equivalent) undergraduate preparation in thefundamentals of engineering. The graduate curriculum should provide the student with acore of courses in ecosystem theory including quantitative ecology, evolutionary ecology,community ecology, restoration ecology, trophodynamics, and ecological modeling, whilestrengthening the student’s mastery of engineering theory and application

We also found that the more seniorstudents and the students with work experience overwhelmingly valued such material.As a follow-up to this research, we surveyed approximately one hundred engineers in a variety ofhiring positions in industry to determine their view on the inclusion of public policy in anengineering curriculum. Among the questions included in the survey, we asked, “Do you believethat engineering students should be exposed to public policy issues as part of their education?”We also addressed a number of other issues, including: 1) How do these engineers define publicpolicy? 2) Should the

The goals of this effort are to increase students’ familiaritylevel with microprocessor capabilities, to increase exposure to mechatronic systems, to allow forhigher fidelity prototypes in class projects, and to provide an accessible and inexpensive way forstudents to explore applications of what they learn in

One of the studies that relate to this interest was conducted in[19] by observing students’ ability to approximate integral calculations by sampling points duringthe process of writing a code for integral calculations. It is pointed out in [19] that integrationneeds to be thought from two perspectives: as the culmination of a limiting process and theapplication of this process over an interval of variable length, as producing a correspondence.The importance of designing a curriculum with instructional emphasis in algebra and pre-calculusby helping students to
