specified, and ABET reinforced, that mechanical engineering graduatesneed to be able to accurately apply design analysis and mechanical design principles withinrealistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety,manufacturability, and sustainability. In addition, students need to function on multidisciplinaryteams, have good communication skills, and use modern engineering tools to solve problems.These requirements suggest that engineering courses should be using real life project-basedlearning throughout the curriculum. Research has also indicated that a good percentage of thehigh quality students who are dropping out of engineering are doing so because they have eitherlost interest or actually come

This includes judgments based onethical and moral principles of human behavior.Outcome-Based curriculum development must follow these steps systematically.

-making process that aids the engineer in generating andevaluating characteristics of an entity (physical or process) whose structure, function, andoperation achieve specified objectives and constraints. The program describes the process as theapplication of the solid foundation of the basic sciences, mathematics, and engineering sciencesto the abstractness, complexity, and solving of real world problems.The elements of the design process are emphasized throughout the program’s curriculum,beginning with the freshmen year. At the freshman year the Introduction to Engineering Design(IED) course uses project-based learning to address (1) problem definition, (2) attributegeneration, (3) function, constraint and objective identification, (4) idea
throughout the curriculum, creatingresearch, project-based and service-learning opportunities for students in all disciplines andschools. Villanova’s strategic plan makes sustainability, broadly defined, a cornerstone and callsfor every college to increase course offerings and experiential opportunities for students in thearea of sustainability.Sustainability has been part of the educational landscape at the CoE for over a decade. The CoEwas the first in the nation to offer a MS in Sustainable Engineering in 2010. In 2015, the programadmitted its first PhD student. The CoE also partnered with the College of Liberal Arts andSciences to launch a Sustainability Studies minor in 2013 and a Sustainable Engineering minorwas recently launched in 2021. In

Employing appropriatelearning activities can be beneficial for developing empathy in students. Prior research on K-12students has shown that infusing empathy into STEM lessons can advance interest in pursuing acareer in STEM, and it can also foster a sense of belonging [4, 5].While such practices may be efficacious in higher education as well, more understanding isneeded. It is important to foster empathy in undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to worktowards more inclusive mindsets and environments. Previously Hess and Fila [6] demonstratedthat

c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Work in Progress: Implementing Project-based Learning into Sophomore Mechanics CourseAbstractThe primary goal of an engineering curriculum is to lay the groundwork for the remainder of thestudents’ training. Traditionally, the curriculum primarily consists of lecture-based courses, withsome hands-on work, mostly through demonstration. In recent years, the curriculum has startedusing more project-based courses. In these updated courses, the theory covered via lecture ismerged with hands-on project work. This integrated approach is designed to not only give thestudents a foundation of the course theory, but to expand on that and give them practical, hands-on

Ethics can be the unifying core for such courses. The formalprofessional ethics course might follow one or more of several possible approaches: (i) use ofrelevant moral virtues as guides to making decisions, (ii) emphasis on consequences to allstakeholders, or (iii) application of rules or codes that must be followed. These approaches canlead to conflicting solutions. An
