Impact on curricula and engineering education: Figure 8 indicates the impact of theIMAPS project on many core engineering and science courses. Most of the experimentsconducted during the course of the project can easily be used in other engineering/sciencecourses. For instance, the experiment of developing an electro-subsystem, such as RFwireless data acquisition, for the IMAPS can be a wonderful term project inmicroprocessor design course.

Institute of Technology developedinstitutional teaming objectives. Because of the many opportunities available for students to workon teams, it was assumed that all students would be able to demonstrate their teaming skills easily. This was not the case. Students were not able to provide evidence that they could workeffectively in teams. This paper discusses the desired teaming skills and the course activities thatwere instituted to improve students’ teaming skills.Students who complete Machine Design are expected to demonstrate an ability to work effectively Page 6.930.1 Proceedings of the 2001 American Society for Engineering Education

In addition, a grading rubric wasdeveloped and used to assess accreditation outcomes. Course BackgroundTwo separate senior capstone courses were developed and taught at the University of New Mexicofor many years. Each course was designed to address outcomes and criteria related to programaccreditation. The senior design course was required for all students in the two ABET-accreditedprograms, and the senior construction management course was required for all students in theACCE-accredited program. These courses are briefly described below.Senior

Despite the rapid growth of bioengineering as a field of study for undergraduatestudents, the development of educational materials for bioengineering instructors has failed tokeep pace. Until only a few years ago, the subject of bioengineering was predominantly limitedto graduate level coursework and research labs.
