This behooves engineering programs at universities acrossthe world to adapt their curricula to prepare the graduates for the challenges in the engineeringindustry. The engineering curriculum which adopts integrated projects on a centralizedengineering project platform [1] enables the student to become an active, intentional, and goal-oriented learner through problem-solving [2]-[3] in a project-based [4]-[6] and project-enhancedlearning [7] environment. Traditionally, core lecture and laboratory courses have been taught inrelative isolation of each other. This approach does not effectively

The important thing isthat students see that you value writing and that it is an important component in their engineeringdiscipline.The same message, that you value good writing, will be evident to your students in how youevaluate their work. Rather than separating a student’s grade into two parts—one grade fortechnical content, one for writing—you can show students that writing is integral tocommunicating technical information by tying writing to content. Technical professors play anintegral role in establishing the importance of writing campus-wide. Subtle lessons about therole of writing can easily

engineering application is unsatisfactory, and that a more integratedapproach is required. Such integration has typically been achieved by injecting engineeringapplication into the freshman calculus sequence, sometimes in concert with a freshmanengineering course. While integrating engineering application into the freshman calculus sequence is a stepin the right direction, it is proposed herein that a more radical approach is required, involving alarge-scale restructuring of the engineering curriculum. The WSU model begins with the development of a freshman-level engineeringmathematics course (EGR 101). Taught by engineering faculty, the course will include lecture,laboratory and recitation components. Using an application-oriented

A Brief History of Computer Aided Design at NMSUComputer aided design in the Mechanical Engineering Department at NMSU has its roots in themid-1970's when the department received a gift of an Applicon computer drafting system fromSandia Laboratories. The Applicon was integrated into the freshman level drafting courses, butby the early 1980's it was replaced by more economic PC's using such software as AUTOCADand CADKEY. Students were urged, but not required, to use these systems in ongoing designcourses. In the 1990's it became evident that there needed to be more integration between thecomputational drafting and computational design calculations and the department began

However, it is desiredby the student and their potential employers to set up a systematic approach to adopt BIMtechnology and process into the construction engineering curriculum.Instead of establishing an independent BIM course, this paper proposes an alternative approachto integrate BIM within a current construction engineering curriculum, regarding projectscheduling and control, by providing BIM components
