following this series of questions, respondents were then queried onhow well their education at New Mexico State University prepared them for the specific area.By evaluating the two series of questions in unison, a semantic differential scale showing the gapon each item was created.19 Our starting point for curriculum redesign addresses the larger gapsfirst, with the overall intent on narrowing this gap.

The Education and Workforceteam developed a partnership with a local community college. The Education Director visited thelocal community college to present to students and faculty. The intention was to encouragecommunity college students to apply to the program. Program participation required Calculus I,Calculus II, and Physics to ensure student success. As part of the culture of the REU program,regardless of background and experience, all were equally important and significant to the group.In the 2018 REU Program, 33.3% of the participants were from community college with 50%being from underrepresented populations

Kristen’s work focuses on integrating energy efficiency measures into building design, construction, and operations processes. Specifically, she is interested in novel design processes that financially and technically facilitate energy-efficient buildings. Her work also explores how principles of lean manufacturing facilitate energy-efficiency in the commercial building industry. Another research interest of Kristen’s is engineering education, where she explores how project- and experience-based learning foster better understanding of

The Manufacturing Game is used in another course of our industrialengineering curriculum, but we felt the need to develop a separate simulation game that betterforegrounds adaptation to changing conditions and information-seeking tendencies. Finally, thecontract negotiation game asks pairs of engineering student teams with competing objectives tocome to an agreement on a single complex contract, requiring each to solicit information aboutthe other team’s goals and boundaries. While the contract negotiation game foregroundsinformation-seeking more than the other two games, we wanted to develop a game thatincorporates negotiation in the context of
should be theprimary goal of engineering educational institutions. An important and effective part ofengineering education is the design process. Many, if not all, engineering programs require asenior design project in which the students apply their undergraduate coursework to a discipline-specific design challenge. While senior-level design is the capstone of a student’s undergraduateeducation, the authors believe that design education should not be restricted to the final year.Instead it should be integrated throughout the curriculum and follow the development of thestudent. Additionally, effective implementation of design education should be unique to thecurrent technical level of the student. At the freshman level, design education should

from instances like the Toilet Challenge. To put trained andqualified engineers out into the world, it is necessary to supplement engineering education withculturally aware project-based curriculum. In ensuring global impact, meshing together thetechnical, social and cultural aspects of an engineer’s humanitarian effort is crucial.However, this is not frequently seen in the context of engineering projects with the internationalcommunity. The need for these specific skills and research is even more integral in the study ofstigmatized, or taboo, topics that engineers may find themselves addressing in their projects,where the approach can be key to the success of an intervention. Taboo issues consist of acts thatare considered to be forbidden
manufacturing ofwheeled vehicles. Manufacturing, automation and robotics have long been critical components ofa competitive automobile industry and Lawrence Tech has educated engineers in support of theseareas since the school’s creation. Over the years Lawrence Tech has supported manufacturingand automation systems development at Ford Motor Company, Chrysler Corporation, and “thefactory of the future” at General Motors.In the late 1990s various Lawrence Tech faculty members began significant work in robotics,automation, unmanned vehicles and mechatronics. Much of these efforts were in collaborationwith industry partners. In 2000 Dr. C.J. Ching began the Robofest® competition for middleschool and high school students.1 Robofest® is a robotics

A grant from the Lemelson Foundationestablished the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance (NCIIA) in the mid 1990swith the mission to nurture a new generation of innovators by promoting curricula designed toteach creativity, invention, and entrepreneurship.2 A new Entrepreneurship Division of theAmerican Society of Engineering Education followed in 1999 and grew from 15 to 201 membersin its first 2 years of existence3.Thus, having started with a clean curriculum slate during a period of national change inengineering curricula, Rowan University had the unique opportunity to infuse an entrepreneurialculture into its College of Engineering from its inception.

So, our approach includes an emphasis onsocial ethics, i. e, the social arrangements for making decisions. 3) Technology representstransformations of society and of the environment. We encourage students to understand this andto look both upstream and downstream in the product or service life cycle from the design focalpoint. 4) Most technology involves transformations that are global in scope and this is embracedby the curriculum. 5) We stress design
