The author has been designing anddeveloping new instructional spaces in his school for the last ten years. Most of these spacesoriginally was aimed for a single function, laboratory or classroom. Due to limitations in spaceand growing research needs, this engineering program requires development of multipurposelearning and research spaces. Recent efforts included design and
employers about what they bring to the table, bioengineers bring a unique knowledge ofand approach to biology that is increasingly relevant. With the expansion of bioengineering intonew areas, there is an increasing demand for bioengineers in both established companies and innewer, start-up companies. Particularly in these companies, but more generally in the nowrapidly-evolving field, bioengineers need to be both well-grounded in biological and engineeringfundamentals and also equipped with the self-directed and lifelong learning skills to adapt to newtechnological developments. This suggests that there is an opportunity to reconsider theundergraduate bioengineering curriculum to prepare graduates for this new world ofbioengineering practice.If

Boyd, Rm 334, Norman OK 73019IntroductionThe need for effective K-12 engineering outreach is apparent. The burgeoning demandfor a technical workforce far outpaces the supply currently graduated. According to theNational Science Foundation, U.S. colleges awarded 37 percent fewer degrees incomputer science, 24 percent fewer in math, 16 percent fewer in engineering and 2percent fewer in physical sciences in 1998 compared to 1988. Enrollment in engineeringschools has also steadily decreased
Modeling: Getting Started and Getting Solutions3 by Fowler and Galluzzo.The next (main) section of this paper concentrates on the report from the undergraduate curriculum andprograms working group. Of course what can be achieved in undergraduate education depends criticallyon the students’ experiences in high school and before. Therefore brief extracts from the high schoolworking group’s findings and report are appropriate here. Among the recommendations were1.

coursesand do not offer any data mining course. On the other hand, many universities offer more thanone database related courses and they also offer data mining course(s). But mostly theseuniversities offer their data mining course as a graduate course. Therefore, the students whograduate from the universities like our university with no graduate computer science programwill not have the opportunity to get Data Mining knowledge.To improve our Database Engineering curriculum, we have decided to add a new Data Miningcourse to this curriculum. The paper first presents this curriculum and then elaborates the contentdetail of this Data Mining course.Introduction:In addition to associate degrees, the Computer Science and Pre-Engineering department offers

Ethics Across the Curriculum Stanley T. Rolfe, Francis M. Thomas Civil, Environmental, & Architectural Engineering Department University of KansasAbstractEngineering ethics is an extremely important part of the education of Civil, Environmental andArchitectural Engineers. Although personal ethics are the foundation for engineering ethics,personal ethics are developed prior to the time students arrive at the University and, for a varietyof reasons, are not discussed as part of engineering ethics. Engineering ethics focuses onacademic ethics, professional ethics, and international ethics. Engineering ethics are introducedat

descriptions included emphasis on the use ofexperiential and project-based learning. Comments included “provide a blend of education andpractice opportunities”15 and create an environment where students can “engage in public lifemaking social contributions”11. Experiential and active learning approaches have been shown toincrease student motivation, integrate multidisciplinary curriculum knowledge, develop skillsproblem solving with a systems approach, enhance interpersonal skills, and build a communityamong students27. Many of these are parallel with leadership skills, thus it would be predictablethat experiential learning would be beneficial for teaching engineering leadership.System thinking.

A critical review and qualitative synthesis of theliterature was employed to gather known components and factors relating to students’ leadershipdevelopment resulting from undergraduate coursework. Findings indicate that the curricularcomponents and noncurricular factors impacting development of leadership competencies includecourse assignments and activities, course content (e.g., emphasis on the development of technicalcompetencies versus development of emotional intelligence skills), access to resources (e.g., newtechnologies, guest speakers), and the ability to enroll in courses outside of required curriculum[e.g., courses that prepare student groups to participate in Associated Schools of
