The teams were required to follow and documentthe entire design process, culminating with team presentations of their products to the“customer” and a formal product test with real children was conducted at the museum. Theproject was concluded with a team report and class discussion that provided a forum toexchange ideas and lessons learned during the project. The planning, implementation, andthe results of five semesters of this service learning project are reviewed and analyzed inview of ABET accreditation criteria. Conclusions and suggestions are presented to helpmore schools start using a service learning component in their Introduction to Engineeringcourses.Project GoalsThe primary goal of this project was to

STEPS is a student’s first exposure to engineering design, occurring in theSophomore year for most. The specific course of this study, STEPS 251 PGEG, is a project-based design course for sophomore level students studying Petroleum Engineering andPetroleum Geosciences. Its purpose is to provide students with an experiential overview of thepetroleum industry through the planning of exploration and development of a local concessionarea. The course is team taught, with 1 Geosciences, 1 Petroleum Engineering, and 1Communication faculty all serving as facilitators and providing input at

On the first pass, the students focus on learning the conceptsbeing presented and on the second pass they focus on how they could incorporate the game intotheir own syllabi. The education students found the simulation confusing during the first pass,but were more comfortable with it on the second.Based on the results so far, we plan to continue to use this game in course for both majors andnon-majors. It is an activity that students enjoy and that achieves its educational goals.AcknowledgementsThe

CurriculumThe CIS program required many labs that involved disassembling computers, packet-sniffing,OS installations, drive scanning, and malware behavior testing that our Information TechnologyServices (ITS) department could not support. So, in desperation, we set up what has now evolvedinto our CIS multi-purpose lab supporting ten courses, four to six each semester. In addition, thestudent Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) club wanted to have network game nights,so the CIS lab also fulfills that role. This lab is administered by a faculty member with assistancefrom one or two students. There was a plan to hire an outside part-time administrator, but thiswas not realized due to budget cuts.Hardware ArchitectureThis section describes the

Once participants have a prototype to test, they will sketch their model on a design sheetand proceed to the ramp for testing. At the ramp, torque will be measured prior to the hill climb.Throughout our presentation, numerous scientific concepts will be discussed including force,friction, torque, simple machines, and gears. Participants will also utilize several math standardsincluding the concept of ratio, ratio language and proportional relationships.Participants will receive a ten-day unit plan with all resources and necessary information indetail.

The questions selectedwere based on the learning objectives that are used in each course area.

For example,engineering ethics taught in the context of the student’s discipline could have a larger impactthan a general engineering ethics course. Since Self and Ellison did not describe the contentof their course, this is speculation on our part.Based on experiences from performing this study, we feel that there are multiple importantcomponents in developing effective engineering ethics curriculum. First, the material shouldinclude discipline-specific content.
