modeling with FEA and rapid prototypinghas been demonstrated to be effective by several authors [2-7]. Since these activities typicallyspan several courses in an engineering curriculum, a promising approach for integrating theseactivities is through the use of teams of students from different courses. Several studies [8,9]have shown that team-based projects enhance learning of engineering concepts and help studentsdevelop essential teaming skills.This paper summarizes an initial attempt to integrate CAD, FEA and prototyping activities into Page 7.714.1three courses through the use of interdisciplinary teams. Two separate projects were performed

After they successfully completed the activities, their feedback was very positive.Most of the students found AR interesting, easy and enjoyable (see Figure 9). The only negativecomment was that the students were confused by the mirrored images on the screen, but afterpractice they were getting used to that feeling.

Do you think your development in these areas will be of benefit in the future, either as a student or in your career? ● In our previous conversations, you spoke about the teaching and learning environment in university - and how it can be quite limited and uninspiring in its focus on transmission-based lectures. In contrast, you described your work with (outreach program) as reflecting a broader set of teaching and learning activities, giving you an opportunity to explore subject matter and your understanding of it in different ways.

The engineering curriculums have an untappedpotential to help in achieving these goals.There are limited studies available in the literature on the effectiveness of service learningpedagogy particularly in engineering courses and programs [3]. Warren (2012) [8] analyzed 11research studies on the effectiveness of service learning in improving learning in a variety of fields,including communication, English, sociology, psychology, political science, and pharmacy.

well as components.The need for and obstacles to integration are perhaps more obvious to those of us in thehumanities and social sciences, but they exist throughout the engineering curriculum. Drawingon the terminology we used in describing the outlook of the Middle Ages, we might concludethat engineering has not yet discovered its “art-hood,” or sense of intellectual and culturalidentity, and that one of the greatest promises of ABET 2000 is the incentive it provides forengaging the whole range of human knowledge and experience in that effort.Bibliography1.

Understanding is the stage of gather-ing primary information, which after that still needs to be properly processed, classified andused to gain understanding. Understanding, or empathy, as an integral component of this stage,allows putting yourself at the place of the user, the potential client. At this stage the better theconsumer will be studied, the more likely that we will be able to develop and offer him exactlythe product that will best meet his needs and expectations.

This negates theintention of cross team communication and the group approach to solving problems.Regrettably, this model of team assignments where students work independently without theintended cross team communication is prevalent in STEM disciplines on many campusesnationwide. In an effort to overcome these collaborative learning shortcomings and engage thenew STEM student, the authors propose the development of the Multicourse UndergraduateLearning Community (MULC).The Multicourse Undergraduate Learning Community (MULC) process demands studentengagement in a vertically integrated project scheme where student teams in multiple courses inthe curriculum are interacting and utilizing others’ work products during the term.

while still delivering required skills.Naturally, changing this well-established course presented obstacles and trials, from studentregistration to curriculum development. This course is open to any student who is a STEMmajor, has an interest in any STEM field, or has a specific interest in sustainability. However,this meant that even our advisors needed some clarification as to the definitions of STEM andsustainability in order to register students that would benefit from this course. The course wastaught using a team-based approach, with one faculty member from English and one fromEngineering, combining both areas of expertise in the classroom. Additionally, there was a shiftfrom using MLA style to APA style citations. Furthermore, students

The transformation of the undergraduate engineering curriculum may include anincreased emphasis on cost, communications and continuous learning.

Thismodel is designed to permit scaling up from an information technology kernel of coursework to afully integrated industrial engineering undergraduate curriculum. Three aspects of the newcurriculum plan are described in this paper.OverviewDuring the mid 1960s, a study group sponsored by NSF and ASEE
