We will also discuss the students’ experience with LEGO as part of enriched learning. Finally, we conclude with the observations and recommendations of the efficient use of LEGO mindstorms in the curriculum. 1Intr oductionActive learning approach to engage students has been an area of study in multipledisciplinary areas [1-3]. Using LEGO Mindstorms as a tool to induce activelearning in introductory and advanced courses has proved successful in the pastdecade [4-5]. Programming with

Another study sought to provide an assessment of curriculardesign principles through a cluster randomized controlled trial in 604 classrooms in 152 schoolsin three states [64]. By comparing two elementary engineering curricula, the study was able toidentify that equity-oriented critical curriculum components had consequences for studentlearning. Students in the treatment curriculum outperformed students in the comparison group onoutcome measures of both engineering and science content learning regardless of demographiccharacteristics. Therefore, in addition to the use of extant literature, the findings of thistheoretical paper are derived from extensive empirical research based in video analysis ofclassrooms

refers tocourses connected between different departments. Integration is being developed between manufacturing,industrial and mechanical engineering courses. The main goal is to develop a streamlined process wherestudents move from one course to another, carrying with them the knowledge and skills from upstreamcourses and the ability to visualize what is expected in the downstream classes. This holistic learningapproach forms the foundation of a solid multi-disciplinary education. Therefore, it is extremelyimportant to build continuity among sequences of courses. Students can then move along the thread thatintertwines seamlessly among the courses in the curriculum. This paper presents an integration attempt of an engineering capstone

It would be worth discussing howfaculty can manage a research project and engage with students through capstone projects. As acase study, a building structural analysis project is presented in this paper. This buildingstructural analysis project can be broken down to several components. One of the sub-components is a quadcopter platform, and the other one is an underwater robot platform for abuilding analysis. These two

this initiative, as it promotes and incentivizes the integration ofhigh-impact practices throughout STEM curricula, including community-engaged pedagogy.Yet, nationally, even in instances where faculty utilize community-engaged pedagogy, rarelyhave faculty used these practices as a means to engage their students in ethical reflection. With few exceptions [4-6], the ethical paradigm for STEM research and professionalism --dating back to the Nuremberg Code (1947) and the Declaration of Helsinki (1964) -- has beenconcerned with one’s duty to align behavior in compliance with an established code of ethics ornormative standards. Contemporary STEM ethics instruction commonly uses case studies, whichcan be useful. However, this instruction is
, based upon fluid mechanics, the students create models for testing in the windtunnel; which are also analyzed using the CFD. Since this is not taught in class, as with many othersoftware tools, the instructor can teach this subject to the design team. In the years which I have been aninstructor in this laboratory course, the use of numerical analysis has been an integral part of the course.The students learn to utilize a very important tool in a manner which they must design the model,loadings, and analyze the results which are produced.Projects UndertakenThe cornerstone of this course is the completion of a semester-long design project in any stem, or acombination of stems, in the mechanical engineering curriculum.

a template. Students involved in thisproject are a prime example on how first and second year engineering students can be directed toteach themselves through extensive research on how to learn and apply these techniques. Studentorganizations such as Formula SAE are avenues for students to gain useful exposure to techniquestaught in the standard engineering curriculum prior to their third year courses such as, mechanicsof materials, heat transfer, FEA, and project management. Projects such as Design andDevelopment of an Integrated Firewall-Seat for Formula SAE Car should be offered to students ofall academic levels.

consist of engineering courses that emphasize management techniquesor business courses that emphasize the management of technology. Although severaluniversities offer such programs, few universities offer a focused and integrated curriculumbetween two or more colleges [4].An example of an integrated curriculum is having both engineering and business courses withinthe same program. It also involves team teaching courses with engineering and businessinstructors. Based upon the author’s discussion with others, smaller universities offer moreinnovative strategies in higher education [5]. However, this is more anecdotal without anystatistical evidence to verify the hypothesis.The challenge is to prove that smaller universities in the U.S. offer more
