Rippon et al. 2012.8The University requirements for this type of introductory class dictated that the curriculuminclude University values, critical thinking, and ethics. One class period and two homeworkassignments were dedicated to University values. The first homework assignment focused on thevalue of citizenship, with the goal of engaging students in the School’s engineering community.This assignment required students to attend a chapter meeting of an engineering studentorganization, then complete an online discussion board post about their experience. As Meyerset al. note, freshman are more apt to listen to the advice of other upperclassmen than facultymembers16 and such engagement could lead to a forum for soliciting this advice. The

There are sample program segments to help the students get the robotsinto motion.In order for the students to use the Pocket PCs and robots, there was a check out form thatneeded to be completed and signed by each student. Apparently this check out concept is quitecommon in other academic disciplines, e.g., for music instruments, but not common forengineering students.IV.

These areas are stronglyneeded in project work. Team work, project management/scheduling and estimating, and healthand safety issues are also considered very important.

. Therefore,the upper-level physics curriculum was modified and course content was altered in order to addand codify the needed engineering content. This was developed collaboratively by all three EPfaculty, and includes: developing an “Engineering Physics Lab” to introduce concepts inexperimentation, modeling, design and communication; and incorporating engineering intocourses on classical mechanics, optics, and quantum mechanics. Additionally, a course onsensors has been created; engineering ethics appears throughout the curriculum; and the ModernPhysics laboratory has been altered to serve as a better “bridge” to the Engineering Physicsportion of the curriculum.
