growing concern for the environment has become an important issue nationally andglobally, more efforts have been in place to sustain our resources. Sustainable materials are ofincreasing industrial importance. As such, it is imperative that students are educated about theimportance of these materials. One such material is biodegradable polymers. A laboratoryprocedure for testing biodegradability of polymers was designed for an undergraduate materialslaboratory course. Testing biodegradability of plastics allows students to gain a fullerunderstanding of these materials. Implementing biodegradable testing in a curriculum providesactive learning by hands-on testing and encourages students to engage in lifelong learning tocontinue to build their

Defining applied research projects closely inline with the needs of the industry and the real-world applications, and by responding to the needsin the society and service to the communities, can be achieved by the ‘research-informed service-learning’ approach. This also satisfies the diverse need of students ([9], [10]) when the studentscan select variety of interesting and exciting real-world applied and state-of-the-art projects. “A broad-based survey on how controls, as an example of a key educational topic inmechatronics field, is taught at

Literature ReviewThe traditional pedagogy within engineering education is built upon the premise that it is the jobof the engineering educator to explain existing truths to students who will then “learn” thesetruths by applying them as they solve problems presented by the educator. While theengineering curriculum at most schools has expanded to include topics such

The goal of this project is to effect these changes byproviding freshman engineering students with experience in product development.The resulting course is a significant modification to an existing freshman engineering coursesequence. The development, delivery, and results of this course are the subject of this paper.The Original CoursesThe freshman engineering curriculum at Louisiana Tech University, which is on the quartersystem, includes a three-course engineering sequence.
