Engineers will need more exposure to learning experiences involvingopen ended problems requiring collaboration of diverse multidisciplinary teams.Addressing America’s innovation concerns will also require engineering schools toinnovate. At SPSU, we have used an honors course focused on bringing a new productto market to introduce students to working on diverse multidisciplinary teams andto learn the body of knowledge of new product design and development. Theinnovations that are being called for in engineering education may prove to bedisruptive if only

It is intended to address the widening gap between actual infrastructure needs andavailable funds to tackle these needs. ASCE has embarked on a mission to educate civilengineers about the new Sustainable Infrastructure Project Rating System spearheaded by theASCE Committee on Sustainability. Partners in this effort are American Council of EngineeringCompanies (ACEC) and American Public Works Association (APWA). It is also anticipated thatthe Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will play apivotal role in refining current efforts into a comprehensive rating system to address widersustainability goals.In its

(Powerpoint). Working in collaboration with a visual artsfaculty member in the department of Fine Arts a review of first year problem solving designpresentations was conducted. A side by side comparison of the original and revised presentations ledto some conclusions about best practices and elements of visual presentation design to teach toengineering students. This was presented to a subsequent year’s class of students to improve theirpresentations. An evaluation rubric is being developed for this year’s class as a baseline for refiningthe education of students in visual literacy. This is a crucial but often neglected element for everystudent, but especially in an engineer’s education.INTRODUCTIONA version of a first year introduction to

This is an interdisciplinary minor that was developedthrough the combined efforts of engineering and science faculty. The curriculum was basedon the currently available expertise in environmental science and engineering. Theinitiative began as a collaborative effort and after multiple meetings and the consent of theuniversity registrar; the minor was offered to the students and has achieved a verypromising enrollment in the first semester of its offering.
