An advanced degree is required to obtain these additional skills.An ecological engineering curriculum should be composed of an undergraduate degree(or equivalent) from an Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET)-accredited engineering program, and a Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy degreein ecological engineering.

In the first two years of Project Catalyst, a core group of faculty fromall five engineering departments at Bucknell University has begun implementing this focusedshift by systematically incorporating collaborative and problem-based learning into their courses.This emphasis has required a coordinated effort to introduce significant elements of teambuilding and problem solving into the undergraduate curriculum.This paper discusses a conceptual framework for progressively developing students' problemsolving and team skills across the curriculum.

An alternative is to increase exposure to programming and electrical contentin traditionally mechanical engineering courses, such as through the incorporation ofmicroprocessors across the curriculum.This work investigates the incorporation of microprocessors (specifically Arduinos) into theMechanical Engineering curriculum. The goals of this effort are to increase students’ familiaritylevel with microprocessor capabilities, to increase exposure to mechatronic systems, to allow forhigher fidelity prototypes in class projects, and to provide an accessible and inexpensive way forstudents to explore applications of what they learn in

The Engineer of 2020 discusses “the imperative for engineersto be lifelong learners,” noting that technology changes rapidly and that engineers frequentlychange careers.2Litzinger et al. noted that lifelong learning can occur in two modes: formal and informal. Theformal mode includes university courses, and the informal mode refers to learning that takesplace naturally as an individual learns to accomplish a task3.

This initiative is part of acollege-wide effort to have all five undergraduate programs have S-L integrated into thecore curriculum (ECE, ChE, CE, and Plastics E).Courses and projects included, for examples, introduction to engineering for first yearstudents (common to students in all five programs) who designed and built
