The key components tothe workshop are an introduction, pre-test, application, and immediate feedback. Students arethen asked to reflect on what they learned in a journal. In the McMaster program they had fourdifferent
business concepts into a petroleum engineering curriculum.AbstractThe interdisciplinary course, PET 4460 – Petroleum Project Evaluation, offered at MontanaTech, was a direct result of the changing landscape in the petroleum engineering field. Thecourse combined engineering concepts that students learned in other courses withentrepreneurship and other business concepts that entry-level petroleum engineers must possessin order to be successful. Faculty from the Business and Petroleum Engineering departmentsdeveloped the course over a two-year time span with input/feedback from the PetroleumEngineering Department’s industrial advisory board as well as input from upper-levelmanagement from many of the businesses operating in the petroleum arena.

The VIP model wasdeveloped in 2001 at Purdue University, growing out of the Engineering Projects in CommunityService (EPICS) program, which involved faculty led, project-based learning in verticallyintegrated teams, with “vertically integrated” referring to the inclusion of lower level and upperlevel students [1]. While EPICS projects focused on community service, VIP shifted the projectfocus to faculty research [2]. This increased both scalability and sustainability, as projects canbe initiated in any discipline, and VIP teams’ contributions to faculty research cultivates deeplong-term

engineering course in Manufacturing Processes, atMilwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE). The course is an overview course in manufacturingprocesses with two lectures and one lab exercise dedicated to statistical process control (SPC)and otherwise focused on a diverse array of manufacturing related topics. One of the courseoutcomes is that students learn basic concepts in SPC and can apply those concepts to decisionmaking. In one of the labs for this course, students measure parts, make and apply standard SPCrun charts for both the X-bar and range charts. The essence of SPC is to decide whether apopulation (parts currently being manufactured) matches some standard population (parts madeduring a carefully controlled process capability study). This key

While many have reported on theeffectiveness of including hands-on laboratory exercises to enhance learning [1], these labs areexpensive and there is pressure to eliminate them in the times of increasing budget pressure.This study suggests that the cost is justified because learning outcomes are significantly im-proved compared to a lecture only course.Mechanical Controls is a four unit

believe in the speaker. Put another way,audiences cannot perform the experiments or perform the computations during thepresentation—therefore, to trust the results, audiences have to trust the speaker.7 Speaking impromptu has the advantages of not requiring any preparation time on the partof the speaker and of allowing the speaker to make effective eye contact with the audience. Thedisadvantages, though, are numerous. Because of the complexity of engineering, the talk willlikely lack the organization needed for the audience to follow the work.1,7 In addition, the talkwill likely contain only superficial content. Moreover, the talk will likely not emphasize the mostimportant messages. Speaking extemporaneously has the advantages that

One format has been running for years as atraditional 3-credit, one semester course.

These codeviolations were then analyzed to see if they fell within one of the three main branches of ethicaltheory: utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics. Additionally, 108 articles and conferencepapers on engineering ethics education in institutions of higher learning were reviewed andyielded 41 publications that can be sorted based on the same three branches of ethical theory.The findings show that while engineering ethics education emphasizes utilitarianism anddeontology significantly more than other ethical theories, the code violations fall almost entirelyunder rule-based deontology.

Additionally, some universities offer for-credit, engineering summer school courses to highschool students. Two Advanced Placement (AP) computer science courses are currently taught in highschools and plans are underway for an AP engineering course. As these dual credit programs develop, itis important to understand how they prepare the pathway to an undergraduate engineering major,particularly if they are designed to replace the on campus introduction to engineering course.
