First, nanotechnologyenables innovation in the areas of renewable energy, toxic waste remediation, more efficient useof materials, substitution for scarce materials, and affordable healthcare. Smith and Granqvist59provide a survey of sustainable Green nanotechnologies for electric lighting and daylighting(luminaries), heat and electricity via solar energy, cooling devices, air sensing and cleaning,thermal insulation, and electrical storage, using nanotechnology similar to the subjects of ourproposed laboratory projects.

c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 Assessment of a New Design Stem Course SequenceAbstractIn Fall 2009, the Mechanical Engineering Department at California State University, Northridgeimplemented significant changes to the curriculum by creating a new course sequence focusedon design. The course sequence is distributed throughout the four years of the program, andculminates in the traditional capstone senior design course. One of the features of the newsequence was the requirement of a team project in each course, including oral design reviewsdocumenting the projects’ progress. Enabling our students to continuously develop anddemonstrate skills related to design and communication was the main incentive behind

Additionally, how can we prepare students tonavigate across cultures before immersing them in a different context? A growing number ofresources and documented models make such learning possible. For example, content fromDowney et al.’s Engineering Cultures curriculum, along with many other resources, are availableon the GlobalHUB website (globalhub.org).8 Other examples

Perhaps a betterapproach is a top down “how it works” presentation of electronics starting with the applications,systems, equipment then eventually delving deeper into the circuits and the components. It is amore interesting approach and can be implemented to the degree needed in each schoolaccording to local industry requirements.If it were possible to create a curriculum from scratch for today’s technician, the top downapproach would certainly be a major alternative. It starts with the application or equipment thendigs deeper into the system to identify major components such as modules or PC boards. Thecircuits are then considered.

These projects are part of therequirements of both the Computer Programming course and at least one additional coursewithin the curriculum in their second semester of study. Frequently, the EngineeringMathematics course in the second semester is that accompanying subject since it focuses onordinary differential equations and on numerical methods for solving them. For both subjects,this is a fruitful collaboration, as their mutual usefulness becomes clearly visible.It seems that a critical issue in teaching mathematics to engineering students is to find theright balance between the practical application of

Due to timeconstraints, real-world examples and other learning opportunities that aim to develop andconsolidate the industry-desirable skills can be difficult to include in the curriculum. One way toaddress this challenge is to collaborate with industry (for example, on capstone projects, studentteam challenges, etc.) while the students are still studying. A place for these collaborations, whichcan provide benefit for both parties, is through student competitions. Student

One particularly effective approach isthrough hands-on learning and “making,” since children often have a natural affinity fortinkering and learn well through active involvement in meaningful activities [1]. Hands-on,project-based learning has been shown to get more students engaged with STEAM and help themlearn key skills for the future [2]. However, most STEAM education programs target students inupper-middle or high school [3].
