In some of the previous examples, small amounts of funding were obtained throughproject sponsors. The existence of tools such as a prototyping facility is a more difficult is sue,and projects must be designed to be realizable with the available facilities. Finally, there arenumerous ways design projects can have a service impact. Conceptual designs can be passed onfor prototyping and implementation, working prototypes may be delivered to the customer, orhow-to manuals can be written and distributed. In the case studies above, integrating service-oriented design projects into the curriculum has proved richly

Modern society relies on stable, readily available energy supplies. Renewableenergy is an increasingly important component of the new energy mix. Anyone can easily seethat the world is leaning toward renewable energy sources and in this region, solar and windenergies are the next generation sources to come after oil and gas. After an extensive search andreadings of how this could be implemented, the first step toward integrating such technologiesinto the curriculum was attending workshops in the United States (US) on renewable energy toseek out the most efficient method for

This lack of a unique core and excessive specialization is not an approach designedto educate an individual capable of working in any chemical and biologically related field nor is itappropriate for the long-term development of a department.. The approach to curriculum revisionthat we propose here is neither a stand-alone modular approach, nor some additive combinationof biology and chemical engineering, but a seamless integration of biology into the curriculum.The net result will be that biology becomes the fourth leg of the core support structure, joiningchemistry, physics, and mathematics.

In the wake of George Floyd’s murder and the racialjustice protests that followed, many national organizations issued Black Lives Matter statementsand pledged to redouble their efforts to address the racialized history and impact of science [8],[9]. These statements expressed similar sentiments and commitments to “increasing theparticipation, inclusion, and empowerment of historically underrepresented segments of societyin all venues where [science and engineering] is taught, practiced, and supported.” One approachto fulfilling these commitments is the notion of “decolonizing” the STEM curriculum [10].

Integrating mechatronics content in mechanical engineering curriculum has been achallenge since it has been viewed as a significant deviation from traditional courses. In the past,pedagogical approaches like semester-long, project-based classes, or linking mechatronics toother engineering disciplines, have been used to integrate mechatronics into the mechanicalengineering curriculum, with varying results. Furthermore, teaching an interdisciplinary class ofthis nature within a semester is a difficult pedagogical endeavor. To overcome these issues, thetopics and

Visual markers help the UAV navigate itsway along the course.

aimed at educating engineers beyond knowledge transfer through the development of student know-how and know-how-to-be (i.e., attitudes). This is achieved via four major program thrusts, which are: integrating knowledge, learning in an engineering context, promoting technical and personal achievement and increasing student responsibilities. As salient programmatic features, this curriculum incorporates, among others: design from day 1, a closely integrated sequence of courses within a semester and from one semester to the next, engineering integration semester projects and a large-scale capstone design activity. In addition to presenting a broad overview of this curriculum, the paper focuses on the first semester
