Modernizing Engineering and Technology Programs in the General Education Curriculum through Two-Way Teaching and Gamification Michael Korostelev, Ning Gong and Ralph Oyini Mbouna Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Temple University Philadelphia, PA 19122, U.S.A.AbstractFor many undergraduate humanities majors, STEM courses comprise a small portion of theirgeneral education curriculum. As technology becomes so prevalent in the lives of students,engineering departments have begun offering their own condensed general education classes.Traditional engineering teaching methods must be altered to accommodate non

the material is important.Indeed, Felder et al note that students are motivated to study harder when they believe that theywill actually need to use the course concepts later in their careers.6 While the benefits of PBL are easy to see, it is usually hard to find effective projects toimplement PBL in engineering courses. There are some online resources with examples ofproject-based or problem-based learning assignments that focus on one or a few concepts7,8, butit is much harder to find projects that utilize a majority of the concepts taught throughout aspecific course. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a novel brewery design project for PBLin a heat transfer course. Each of the fundamental heat transfer concepts are addressed

Creating a New, Junior-Level, Engineering Design Course in ECE Peter Mark Jansson and Amal Kabalan Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Bucknell UniversityAbstract – This paper describes the goals, pedagogical aspects and implementation of a new,junior-level engineering design course in the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)curriculum at Bucknell University. The need to build a more continuous set of designexperiences between a multi-disciplinary first-year course which contained some limited designexposure and the senior year culminating design experience was a key driver for thedevelopment of this new course.

IntroductionThe Kern Family Foundation has initiated a university network called Kern EntrepreneurialEngineering Network (KEEN) to promote the idea of entrepreneurship learning. Multiple grantshave been awarded to curriculums across the country to teach the engineering students aboutEntrepreneurially Minded Learning and assess the learning outcomes.
