Cincinnati will be investing $ 0.976 M in industry integratedcurriculum development. The objective of the grant is to build a closed loop system that measures student performance while on co-op and directsthis feedback into curricular development. This project develops methodologies to use assessment data of student work term performance incurricular development, thereby continuously aligning experiential- or cooperative-education based curricula with industrial needs. The proposedthree-year project would focus on: a) identifying curricular activities exhibiting a strong correlation with student co-op work performance; b)designing and implementing processes allowing the systematic use of employer assessment in curriculum design; c) evaluating the
the three treatment types. However, students in apost-course questionnaire indicated that a combination of all three treatments would be the bestinstructional technique (51%) followed by real models only (33%) and CAD models only (10%).Therefore, incorporation of actual 3D objects into the design curriculum is favored by students inthis study. However, a concern with manually manipulated physical models is that the studentsmay not orient the object correctly during visualization tasks.

However, currenttechnology has not been incorporated in the teaching of the material. Specifically, there is achapter in most texts that addresses basic finite element analysis (FEA) theory. However, FEA isnot used to teach the concepts of machine design. Conversely, the content of machine design isnot used to enhance

Theprogram is designed to be extremely flexible; it permits the student to select a combination ofcourses relevant to individual career goals in technology or to provide the foundation for furtheradvanced study. The multidisciplinary curriculum includes core courses and electives in suchareas as rapid prototyping, programmable devices and systems, modern energy conversiontechnologies, lean manufacturing principles, project management, to name a few. The program iscurrently available entirely online and several of the courses employ web-based laboratoryexercises

, therefore, need to build proficiency and competencies in ethical datamanagement as a requisite for ethical design.Our aim is to investigate the integration of ethical reasoning and data reasoning into engineeringdesign processes. Often, the competencies for such integration are learned through practice.However, a framework can guide the scaffolding of these practices and help navigate the ethicaland data complexities. This conceptual paper aims to describe the development of DesignReasoning in Data Life-cycle Ethical Management Framework.In engineering design education, the framework provides a structured approach facilitated byspecific tools for curriculum and instruction, allowing mentors such as faculty, design coaches,and reviewers to integrate

They conclude there is a “synergistic benefit of such an approach and reinforce aprevalent belief that innovation in research can help enrich education.” Finally Newberry13developed a missile system design graduate curriculum that strove to balance scientificdevelopment and robust design.

While aminority had experience teaching engineering or related courses (robotics, engineering designgraphics), most did not and arrived with a background in science (primarily physics) or math(algebra I & II) instruction. For half of their class time, teachers assumed the roles of their future students and workedon design challenges with the guidance of University engineering faculty, becoming acquaintedwith the content they would be teaching as well as with the pace of design challenge basedinstruction. Teachers spent the second half of their day on curriculum development or learning theory.In their curriculum development class they produced their own versions of the design challengesin which they
