Higher education is a labor-intensive process, and thedepartment seeks to eliminate non-value added activities of faculty and staff, reduce time andeffort required in daily processes, and to improve student learning experiences in the department.These all illustrate important concepts that engineering management education delivers tostudents. The approach, challenges, and outcomes are presented in the paper to inform bestpractices in lean higher

ConclusionThe game elements of the capstone chemical engineering laboratory course fulfilled most of thegoals hoped for. Students became more interested and engaged in the course. Elements of thegame that resonated with students the most included the team-based cooperative nature and theability to earn extra points by performing tasks that, while they had not been traditionallyquantified or graded in the past, benefit their understanding of the experiments. Many studentsstated that while they had fun with the game elements, they understood the value of theadditional tasks they had the option to complete, which provided a useful learning

Also, the project allows students to develop a professional design portfolio that can be presented to perspective employers, be used as a valuable reference for future design tasks, or be used as part of CEES’s outcomes-based assessment. Furthermore, Sooner City provides a natural forum for incorporating other pedagogical reform initiatives, such as just-in-time learning, collaborative learning, and laptop computing.

Specific issues included: • The freshman courses were loaded with content, some of which was deemed critical to various disciplines, and therefore, could not be replaced. • Other projects were also competing for “space” in the freshman courses. For example, a design and build module was incorporated into UML’s “Introduction to Engineering I” as part of a college-wide service learning initiative, a project module is required for freshmen in NEU’s introductory engineering course, and the freshmen seminar for UNH’s chemistry students is intended to provide an overview of the profession. • There was considerable interest in incorporating nanomanufacturing concepts into other parts

It is unusual for a civil engineering program torequire a technical presentation course or technical writing course in the junior or senior years.Even if the student takes that course later in his or her academic career, courses are generallydesigned and offered at the freshman or sophomore level. As such, students generally learn therudiments of presentation outside the context of complex engineering subject matter.

We could do this by adding a rechargeable battery orcreating a resistor-capacitor circuit to store and distribute the voltage that the TEG produces. Therewould also be a display screen to show the user’s heart rate, or a Bluetooth connection to show theheart rate on a user’s device. To make the device more comfortable and streamlined we could usethinner, flexible thermoelectric generators such as those made with PEDOT:PSS [7].
