Literature reveals that connectionto peers is a strong indicator of student persistence and retention7. Linkage to a localgroup, i.e., a benefit of a small school experience, is
curriculum development and evaluation.5. Communities Must Benefit The purpose of educational research is "to advance knowledge about education, to encourage scholarly inquiry related to education, and to promote the use of research to improve education and serve the public good"27. Typically, data collected as part of educational research is used to address research questions, and to write and publish papers. This ultimately benefits the researcher and improves the practice of education. Although some funding institutions such as the National Science Foundation (NSF) require dissemination of the research and evaluation findings28, in CBPR projects, research is only considered ethical if the community receives adequate benefits from
ethics, intellectual property, FDAapproval, and animal/human subjects testing. The students also have the opportunity to learn asthey are needed, various technical skills including computer-aided design, finite elementanalysis, machining/fabrication, electronics and electrical measurement and design, LabVIEW,MATLAB and microcontroller programming, mechanical testing, and basic laboratorytechniques related to biomaterials and tissue engineering. As our student population has grown,we have had an increasing challenge to informally and effectively teach our students thesecutting-edge skills that will enable them to be better engineers. In addition, our BME StudentAdvisory Committee (BSAC) has expressed interest in having more formal, directed

from alist of social sciences classes, one from a list of arts and humanities classes, and one from a listof cultural understanding classes, in addition to one course each in English composition, speech,and ethics, all taught by faculty from outside of E&T. In many cases, however, there still existsa lack of interaction between engineering faculty and faculty from the School of LA. This hasnot stopped one particular program from endeavoring to build new bridges and open doors thathave traditionally been closed.For example, both E&T and LA have faculty members who are heavily involved in theMotorsports Industry. When E&T’s relatively new Motorsports Engineering Bachelor ofScience degree program was being developed, one of the

In addition, thecourse is intended to link knowledge and application of engineering principles to professionalethics and values, and to foster the academic and personal growth of the students. Unfortunately,the previous offerings of this course failed to deliver the desired learning experiences due to (1)the disparate nature of the content and delivery from session to session (2) the lack of continuityacross sessions (3) the absence of a common thread to bind the content of the course.In order to overcome these drawbacks and to teach engineering design and practice in the context 1-2of society, ethics, and economics, the course has been restructured by

electrical energy from the reaction of hydrogenand oxygen. Each of the experiments lasts for two weeks.In Engineering Foundations, students are also introduced to a number of professional skills, suchas technical writing, communication, engineering ethics, and the engineering design process.Technical writing is covered by requiring the students to prepare laboratory reports for each ofthe four hands-on experiments. Communication is emphasized through a group presentation thatrequires the students to research one of the fourteen Grand Challenges9 identified by the NationalAcademy of Engineers and to present their findings to the class. Ethics is covered during alecture that uses practical examples and role playing to emphasize the challenges in

and the Achievers (i.e., high ACT students). This resultis not surprising, in that students with high ACT scores are typically in greater need ofmotivation than they are of academic ability. This is particularly true for the Purpose Seekers,who have plenty of academic ability but lack the motivation and work ethic required to deliver ahigh GPA. For those who ultimately graduated, the results of Figure 7 suggest that EGR 101provided (or at least contributed to) the motivation they needed.As shown in Figure 8, students who ultimately graduated in engineering indicated that EGR 101increased their chances of success in engineering (i.e., self-efficacy) more strongly than students

Scenario-Based Curriculum for Solid MechanicsThe scenario-based learning has long been used as a pedagogical technique in a variety oflearning domains, primarily in business education where it is viewed as a technique to teachcomplex decision-making skills.12 In engineering education, the scenario approach is most oftenused in the teaching of engineering ethics that focus on the ethical challenges of professionalengineers and use “social world” stories like the Challenger disaster or Hurricane Katrina.13 TheNSF has funded previous
what thefuture can and should be. Numerous individual civil engineers and civil engineeringorganizations around the world have embraced this appeal for a new, enhanced role for theprofession. They call on civil engineers to control their own destiny rather than letting eventscontrol it for them. The document was translated into several languages further illustrating theworldwide appeal this program has.

technical concepts (infrastructure components, in- frastructure sectors, or engineering concepts), 4. The number of concepts for non-technical aspects of infrastructure (e.g., economic growth, ethics, pollution, etc.), 5. The number of correct links between a non-technical concept to any other concept, and 6. The number of engineering concepts (e.g., constructability, design, resilience, etc.).The detailed instructions for scoring the concept maps are included in Appendix 3.Initially, we planned to have the concept maps scored by a trained evaluator who did not haveextensive civil engineering infrastructure expertise. However we found, similar to Cañas et al.,25that deep conceptual understanding was needed and so course instructors
establishes the processes, and post-processes, required todevelop the final desired properties. Paying particular attention to options of materials/processesearly in the design phase can greatly reduce cost and delay in product introduction.The prediction of product volume, a strategic decision, can also have a significant effect onultimate material/manufacturing costs. Some processes have high initial tooling cost with lowunit production cost; other have low tooling cost, but higher unit production cost. Knowledge ofboth materials and manufacturing methods, combined with accurate estimates of productvolumes, determine the profitability of the end product.There is also the issue of ethics.
