c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 A Multi-Disciplinary and Multi-Institutional Approach to Prepare Industrial Engineers to Respond to Future Energy ChallengesAbstract There is a world-wide necessity to increase energy efficiency, finding new alternativesources of energy and assessing the environmental impacts of new renewable energytechnologies. Demand for professionals with sustainable energy knowledge is increasing, asemployers need graduates who can better respond to energy challenges in all professional andbusiness contexts. This demand will also create green-collar jobs in the industrial sector and innew technology fields. In light of these crucial needs

Aregional governing agency is tasked with planning for and allocating the tax imposed onthe mining companies for each ton of ore removed from the earth. In response toregional industry's need for a more educated workforce and in an effort to createeconomic development, the agency partnered with the organizers of this model and twopublic higher education institutions, a community college consortium and an ABETaccredited state university to establish a new project based engineering curriculum.

to Integrate the Industrial Engineering CurriculumAbstractThis work introduces a new approach called Connected Learning and Integrated CourseKnowledge (CLICK). CLICK is intended to provide an integrative learning experience byleveraging Virtual Reality (VR) technology to help provide a theme to connect and transfer theknowledge of engendering concepts. Integrative learning is described as the process of creatingconnections between concepts (i.e., skill and knowledge) from different resources andexperiences, linking theory and practice, and using a variation of platforms to help students’understanding. In the CLICK approach, the integration is achieved by VR learning modules thatserve as a platform for a common theme and include

The com-plexity of these systems requires a wider breadth of material to be covered, which makes it moredifficult to provide high quality education. Also, while student numbers are vastly increasing,faculty, staff, and resources are dwindling. The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Uni-versity of Utah has been focusing on a new curriculum that covers multiple engineering subjects,design techniques, methodologies, and knowledge of skills in professional practice. This is knownas the Student-driven Pedagogy of Integrated, Reinforced, Active Learning (SPIRAL) approach.This paper describes teaching manufacturing using

Faculty in chemical engineering courses often takenote of the incident, discussing it in class and perhaps following up with assignments to reinforcethe importance of process safety to aspiring engineers. While this ad-hoc approach has doubtlessoccurred for years, the ABET program criteria for Chemical Engineering and similarly namedprograms now reads “The curriculum must include the engineering application of these basicsciences to the design, analysis, and control of chemical

Successful curriculum improvement requires a new approach to integratingconcepts of batch processing, solid-liquid separation techniques, solid-solid particulateprocessing, drug formulation and delivery, and technology at the nano-scale. Students must havea solid grasp of chemical engineering fundamentals and the perspective necessary to worksuccessfully side-by-side with pharmacists, pharmacologists, medicinal chemists, and materialschemists in this highly multidisciplinary field.The field of pharmaceutical engineering is quite broad and involves the manufacture of the

Mapping these attributes to established pedagogies, coupled with continuousassessment and refinement ensures that there is not a mismatch between the student and facultyexpectations. The approach was successfully implemented in a first-year engineering designcourse that had previously undergone a major revision in course content and delivery, resultingin very poor student evaluations at semester’s end and general student dissatisfaction.Maintaining the new content, the QFD-based approach was able to significantly increase studentsatisfaction.1.0 Objectives The quality of a course should be judged by the extent to which the learning objectivesare realized and the value the

teachers do, rather than what students think. Instead, they reframe formative assessment asresponsive teaching, an instructional approach in which teachers elicit student thinking around aparticular topic, notice and interpret the disciplinary substance contained within students’thinking, and then respond in real-time in order to support students’ disciplinary behaviors.Responsive teaching has been studied for some time in K-12 mathematics and science education,and it has recently become a focus in K-12 engineering education.
