Session at the ASEE 2014 Annual Conference, anddescribes a recently funded project (October 2013) under the Research Initiation Grant inEngineering Education (RIGEE) program. It is hypothesized that there is disconnect betweenthe principles outlined in Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and the actual classroomenvironment, thus creating a barrier to intrinsic motivation needed for student learning. Theproposed work is an empirical investigation to explore this disconnect in the context ofundergraduate engineering education. The primary tasks will be to (i) assess the Facultyknowledge of SDT; (ii) develop a measurement framework to assess the classroom environmentas it relates to SDT; and (iii) determine the association among Faculty knowledge of SDT

and authentic experience for thestudents. Our current work and future plans include the following: • While not statistically significant, we did note an improvement in the results between the Spring and Fall semesters. While different faculty were often engaged between the semesters, this might reflect collective and shared learning among the involved faculty members, increasing their ease and experience with which to incorporate the developed curricula in various classroom settings. We are interested in studying the level of comfort faculty have with the teaching material and the impact of multiple exposures on students’ learning across their curriculum. • We are processing the results for the

instructional approach is illustrated inFigure 4. First, it is started from contemporary issues related to cyber based rapid manufacturingsuggested by the Department of Industrial, Manufacturing and Systems Engineering (IMSE) andthe Research Institute for Manufacturing & Engineering Systems (RIMES) advisory boardcommittee. Second, the authors and a support group from staff members of Texas ManufacturingAssistance Center (TMAC) have determined what course contents (e.g., course modules) shouldbe included in each course. Third, the authors have discussed with faculty from IMSE/MEDepartments who are interested in joining this curriculum reform to identify a course modulepool. However, the course contents could be revised based on suggestions from an

skin, convenient accessibility, and prox-imity to blood vessels and systemic circulation make skin an obvious candidate for a route of drug admin-istration. In this module, students will explore the permeability of porcine skin, easily obtainable at a gro-cery store and cost-effective. Porcine skin has been shown to be histologically and biochemically similar 9to human skin, and have a similar permeability[ ]. In parallel, students will measure mass transfer across Page 24.963.6biomaterials using artificial skin and also determine the effects of various permeation enhancers on themass
