The existingprogram is traditional and teaches students the eight bodies of knowledge required for ASEMaster Certification. The primary objective is to prepare students and working technicians to beskilled HEV technicians. To achieve this objective, the MCC in collaboration with WSU and itsindustry partners integrate HEV education courses into the Associate of Applied Sciencecurriculum in Automotive Technology.The HEV curriculum is shown in Table 1. The structured curriculum is divided into threesequential sections: Automotive Fundamentals, Hybrid Vehicle Fundamentals, and AutomotiveIntermediate. Section I, Automotive Fundamentals

The student participants in this program not only contributed to thedevelopment of micro-manufacturing technology, but their reactions indicate that they are morelikely to remain in a technical field. Successful development of the micro-manufacturing systemfrom the project opens endless application opportunities in homeland security, transportation,aerospace, biomedical, advanced manufacturing, and many other commercial applications.

Thirty-four of Alabama’s 40 Hot Demand Occupations requiresecondary and postsecondary STEM education [1]. Between 2017 and 2027, STEM jobs willgrow by 9% in Alabama, while non-STEM jobs will only grow by 5% [2]. Furthermore, theSTEM and computing-related jobs along the gulf coast are a lifeline to Alabama. Labor marketprojections indicate a growing gap in the supply of qualified employees in the STEM fields, suchas computer technology and advanced manufacturing [3].Although a number of engineering and computing curriculum integrations

misalignmentbetween the content of current ethics education and engineers’ actual practice has been pointedout. To help improve ethics education for chemical engineers, this research-to-practice paperpresents six descriptions of engineers’ experiences related to ethics. The descriptions wereconstructed based on in-depth interviews with six chemical engineers who are currently workingin the health products industry. As the descriptions provide evidence that ethics is pervasive inchemical engineers’ daily practices, we argue that chemical engineering curriculum should includeinstruction relative to professional ethics in actual practice. This paper concludes with a discussionon potential ways to utilize these descriptions in ethics education.IntroductionThe

The capstone experience inthe Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Department at WSU is that of the‘authentic involvement’ type and somewhat unique in that it requires students toparticipate in two dissimilar semester-long, group projects in industry. Studentsare required to enroll in the class in their last two semesters. Therefore, thestudents take the class twice. Each semester the student works with a differentgroup of students and at a different company in a

IntroductionIn the last decade, there had been several attempts by educational institutions to developintegrated curriculum (Denton1). Some of these have focussed on the integration of science andmathematics into problem solving and design, while others had placed emphasis on co-operativelearning, assessment, and industry involvement (Everett, Imbrie, and Morgan2).

In view of the increasing importance of nanotechnology, appliedengineering and other technology students need a good grounding in basic nanoscience andapplications, as well as in characterization methods and tools. Moreover, in addition toIndustrial Engineering subjects, such as Lean Six Sigma, other disciplines, such as ConcurrentEngineering, Design for Manufacturability, Rapid Prototyping, and Plant Operations, need to beintegrated into AET education. This curriculum ‘overload’ provides incentive to developcourses that bring together broader educational objectives and various disciplines in anintegrated, streamlined form. To this end, the Lean Six Sigma Nanomanufacturing coursecombines instruction and practice in nano
