discuss the implications ofPLM systems in classroom dynamics, curriculum and grading.IntroductionThis paper builds on the idea that the implementation of a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)system in an introductory level freshman course can provide students with key competencies tosucceed in today’s complex design engineering environments. Being exposed to PLM systemsearly and in the context of entry level modeling courses allows students to become familiar withPLM concepts and how PLM systems are an integral part of modern design processes. Studentsentering the workforce will have a firm understanding of the various stages and changes aproduct goes through during its lifecycle and how PLM and CAD are not mutually exclusive, butcomplementary to

Learning the logic of Construction Management and managing itsaccompanying risks at the undergraduate level is very difficult because of lack of fieldexperience. Teaching construction scheduling to students requires detailed and comprehensivelearning of the methods and procedures involved in construction along with the impacts of riskand uncertainty on the methods and processes

Figure 1: Two phases of creativity [8].The study of creativity in engineering education is becoming increasingly popular, but it tends tobe associated with courses on design (and there, only in idea generation) [9]. Likewise, there areonly a few short courses specifically focused on engineering leadership (e.g., EngineeringLeadership at MIT [10] and Leadership Development for Engineers at Rice University [11]), andeven fewer of these courses make creativity a specific focus (e.g., LJMU’s Leadership Skillsmodule).

Responding to this demand, ABET [6] is requiring thatundergraduate engineering programs demonstrate attainment of student outcomes that includeleadership in a team setting. It remains to be seen how universities will demonstrate leadershipcompetencies in student outcomes [9] and how well these educational experiences will translateinto valued workplace behaviors. Despite a purported high level of interest, leadershipdevelopment in industry is often hit or miss, and on-the-job-training in leadership is the norm[10]. Indeed, none of the engineering graduates surveyed by Watson [11] mentioned anyworkplace training in the area

As scholars [10] have written, “Critical analyses and reflections on the design of scienceand technology are essential if societies are to meet their challenges in ways that create realimprovements rather than re-create inequalities.” Meaningfully addressing the GrandChallenges thus requires interdisciplinary collaboration, critical thinking about the potentialand the limitations of engineering design methods, and deep understanding of local socialcontext and larger economic and political systems.Lafayette College began its Grand Challenges Scholars Program
