Session 2125 Integration of Design Throughout the Curriculum of a BSE Program Robert LeMaster, Richard Helgeson, and J. Douglas Sterrett Department of Engineering College of Engineering and Natural Science University of Tennessee at MartinIntroductionAlthough fundamental to the engineering profession, design is one of the more difficult subjectsto teach. Design by its very nature is broad in scope and draws on the creative talents,management skills, and engineering knowledge of those involved. Design problems are typicallyopen ended, have
AC 2010-1897: DESIGNING SUCCESSFUL DESIGN PROJECTSAlan Cheville, Oklahoma State University Page 15.371.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2010 Designing Successful Design ProjectsAbstractThe importance of design is increasing in undergraduate engineering programs. Design is seenby proponents as a vital element of learning engineering. Compared to courses which focus onengineering analysis, design courses emphasize application of a broad spectrum of knowledge innarrow contexts. The importance of design courses is magnified by their impact on students andtheir disproportionate importance for assessment and accreditation. One element of designcourses

Session 2542Engineering Management as an Outreach DegreeAt the University of IdahoParviz F. Rad, David M. WoodallUniversity of Idaho at Idaho FallsAbstractEngineering Management is an emerging field of engineering which focuses on theneeds of engineers who make the transition to managerial positions. Such atransition usually occurs after several years of traditional engineeringpractice. The University of Idaho recently implemented its Master's program inthe area of Engineering Management. This advanced degree program sharpens thestudent's quantitative and personal skills necessary for the engineeringmanager's position. The program curriculum contains core courses and a suiteof required business courses and is delineated in this paper

four areas of divergence in the discourse in a subset of the“Engineering and. . .” divisions. This research built on previous work suggesting that the discourse on engineeringleadership (LEAD), entrepreneurship (ENT), engineering management (EMD), and engineeringand public policy permeates ASEE and is concentrated in but not limited to the division mostclosely associated with the topic (Neeley 2016). In the work completed to this point, we used thepapers published in LEAD and ENT to identify four common themes that should also be usefulfor analyzing papers from EMD and EPP: (1) program design and effectiveness, (2) individualcapabilities (including traits and thinking tools), (3) teams and groups, and (4) identity andculture.

30060AbstractIn an era of unprecedented technological advancement and economic expansion, constructionpractice continues to evolve but construction education has not changed appreciably since the1990s. This schism has prompted industry, government, and other key constituents to questionthe relevancy and efficacy of current programs. The Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology (ABET) Engineering Criteria 2000 and the American Council for ConstructionEducation (ACCE) emphasizes outcomes over process, and provides an opportunity forstakeholders to help universities define educational goals and objectives and design a curriculumto meet the desired outcomes . While the need for curriculum modification has beenacknowledged, the “industry position

One of the most valuable and uniqueaspects of the course involves interaction with practicing construction professionals whichallows the students to develop a deeper understanding of concepts and interrelationships inconstruction engineering. This interaction has been a common element of the course for overthree decades.Structure of Capstone CourseCE 469 is a capstone course that involves an integrated team approach to the design of theconstruction process and uses computerized tools for cost estimation, planning, scheduling,process design, and management of two construction projects

implemented solution because engineering programs already havecourses in place where they can (and often do) introduce PM concepts. For example, at theauthor’s university, each engineering student will take the following courses during their collegecareer: • Fall, Freshman year, Introduction to Engineering • Spring, Freshman year: Introduction to their discipline (i.e. Electrical Engineering) • Fall, Junior year: Professional Development • Fall, Senior year: Senior Design (capstone project): project development and definition • Spring, Senior year: Senior Design (capstone project): project implementationMany other universities have the same types of courses. However, while many programs do agood job introducing students to some

The California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo is well positioned to fillthis potential gap. The Architectural Engineering (ARCE) Department at California PolytechnicState University, San Luis Obispo is fortunate to be one of five departments located within theCollege of Architectural and Environmental Design (CAED), a college that also includes theArchitecture (ARCH) and the Construction Management (CM) departments. A great benefit ofthis arrangement is that considerable interaction takes place amongst the departments mirroringthe interaction and collaboration that occurs in industry.

Product Data Management (PDM)and similar computer-based information management tools have increasingly been implemented tohelp manage this product database. Just as 3-D modeling is becoming an important component ofthe engineering graphics curriculum, PDM concepts
. Kolb’s (2015) life-long learning concepts have transformed the traditionalstructure of the classroom through “real world” experiential learning methods whichcompliments and enhances project-based learning (PBL) with the perspective that “all learning isrelearning” (Kolb and Kolb 2005).Capstone courses that include term-length, group PBL assignments have long been a staple ofmany construction management programs, including BGSU’s (Todd et al. 1995, Dutson et al.1997, McKensie 2004, Howe and Wilbarger 2006 and Pembridge and Parretti 2010). While thedetails of these courses vary, a common goal of each is to prepare students to assumeconstruction engineering and management responsibilities in real-world situations. A secondcommon element is that
marketing skills in engineering students can be found in thecapstone team design course at UMD. In this course, small teams of students perform projects for localindustries an a consulting basis. Often in these projects, especially those for small businesses, the students'design recommendation is substantially different from the sponsor's expected design. When this occurs, thestudent team must sell their solution to the sponsor. This is particularly difficult for the students as they lackunderstanding of the marketing concepts they must use to achieve customer buy-in of their solution. Thiscustomer acceptance is important to the university as it is committed to an active outreach program of whichthe team design projects is a significant part

The ultimate goal of the workshop is toempower educators to develop and apply methods of problem solving and engineering design toopen-ended problems in their classrooms. Most of the attendees are selected from schoolsserving populations traditionally underrepresented in engineering. In addition to exposing theteachers to engineering design methods, the workshop serves to facilitate discussions on howbest to attract students into engineering and the sciences.PEPS was originally developed as an extension of a program at Dartmouth College, and hasbeen significantly
