A specialfreshman course designed to motivate students to consider electronic imaging as a career willstart this spring. Two new undergraduate labs are to be created along with a summer,undergraduate research program. A special seminar series was designed to keep both studentsand faculty up-to-date on the latest technology in industry and academia. Strong input andsupport from local industry will ensure that the new curriculum will serve both the students’academic pursuits as well as their ability to work in industry at a very proficient level.I.

Engineerswith this ability are desirable in today’s industry, as new developments in research and socialtechnology require interdisciplinary knowledge [1], [3]. Additionally, supporting issues of socialchange requires close collaboration with other disciplines [11]-[12]. Positive social impacts arecreated through solutions that are efficient, effective, and sustainable, which are pillars ofengineering problem-solving [13].As developing students' EM in undergraduate engineering education has grown in importance,interdisciplinary active learning is becoming more common [14].

).Engineering as a subject matter clearly delineates the population as those who participate withinit (as students, professionals) and those who do not. This delineation includes certainepistemological continuities (e.g. using math and science to solve real world problems), as wellas institutional legitimation, industrial and commercial interest, professional licensure, etc. But ifengineering defines engineers and non-engineers, who has defined engineering? Whocollectively has defined it in the past such that it is an “always already there” of our present day?Whose actions (intentional and unintentional) continue to define engineering in the present day?In short, the disembodied engineering and arriving deae ex machina narratives are flawed.Engineering

A problem-solving flavor is added in our teaching approach, asopposed to more traditionally structured lectures. We include research-based sequential assign-ments and collaborative design projects to encourage student engagement inside and outside ofthe classrooms, and to promote student self-discovery. This educational approach provided addi-tional hands-on experiences to motivate students and help contextualize the course materials, andopportunities to explore a selected set of topics in greater depth.Here, we describe our experiences in: (i
the engineering curriculum.Most engineering graduates employed in industry will work in collaborative teams. Currentprojects, particularly those in aerospace, defense, and vehicle design, are of such magnitude thatthe involvement of multiple disciplines becomes essential. Separation of disciplines essentiallydisappears in much of modern industry.1Some of the advantages of project teams include: • Teams provide the most efficient use of workers’ skills. • Employees are able to pool knowledge and ideas to arrive at better and more creative problem solutions.2 • Teamwork based on coordinated tasks and peer leadership permits removal of layers of hierarchy.3 • Teams benefit from the combination of people with diverse

studentswho may need, yet not see the value of, leadership education. Further, engineering students whopursue careers outside of the mainstream engineering industry pathways, such as research orentrepreneurship, often do not automatically see the value in leadership and management trainingin college; they perceive these programs to be aimed just at careers in industry. Therefore, theobjective of this paper is to introduce the approach that one university is employing to revamp anddevelop a new credentialed curriculum in engineering leadership aimed at students with broadcareer interests. There are two facets of this new certificate program, and it aims to create acompelling experience that attracts an increasing number of engineering undergraduates
