has identified elevenstudent outcomes, labeled A-K, that students are expected to achieve (Table 1). Programeducational objectives (PEOs) are the descriptions of skills that students will develop a few yearsfollowing graduation. These objectives are rooted in the expectations of professional rolesAGEN and BSEN graduates will attain. PEOs can be oriented to build upon the foundationsestablished by the student objectives.Table 1.

divisioncourses in which they need those skills.The objective of this paper is to discuss the current utilization of electronic technologies forteaching and grading student materials for two courses, in lieu of recent increased enrollments inthe program. Also, discussed are some of the issues of implementation and student feedback.The two required courses that were taught with electronic assisted teaching technologies are:“Engineering Properties of Biological Materials (sophomore level)”, and “Instrumentation andControls (senior level)” (Meyer, et al, 2008). The ABET outlines for these courses are shown inAppendices A and B, respectively.Classroom DesignAll AGEN/BSEN engineering classes and laboratory sections are taught on the lower two levelsof Chase

Richter1, Lauren Brookmire1 and Dan Lluch21Biological Systems Engineering Department, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA2MathWorks Inc., Natick, MAABSTRACTThe Biological Systems Engineering (BSE) Department at Virginia Tech is undergoing significantcurriculum change through implementation of a spiral theme based curriculum. The primary focus of thespiral curriculum is to provide opportunities for learning in repeating themes based on authenticproblems in the profession of engineering with increasing complexity over the years. One outcome(theme) is the ability to control processes and systems and to address that we are developing learningmodules that could be implemented from freshmen to senior year in the curriculum. Majority of theactivities will be
