The four programs arethe Design for Extreme Affordability course at Stanford University, the HumanitarianEngineering and Social Entrepreneurship program at Penn State, the Humanitarian Engineeringprogram at Colorado School of Mines, and the D-Lab at the Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology. I chose these programs because they have been integrated into institutionalstructures, maintain a considerable online presence documenting various projects, and havedifferent philosophies of how engineers

Only some institutions have developed courses that focus only onimproving the creativity skills of students; most institutions teach creativity-enhancing tools andmethods as part of the conceptual design process (see, for example, Dieter and Schmidt 5).Instruction on design methods occurs during an introductory or capstone design course under avery strict schedule. Therefore, research on the effectiveness of methods to improve creativity iscritical to engineering educators.In previous research, the authors conducted a pilot study on TRIZ 6(also sketching and

The intent of laboratory work is twofold. One purpose is to solidify understandingof course concepts through a more in-depth laboratory experience on certain topics. A secondpurpose is to enable students to gain valuable hands-on experience that will better prepare themfor a position in industry upon completion of their studies. As a means of assessment of theselaboratory experiences, course instructors often require the submission of detailed laboratoryreports.Our approach has been to initially expose students to the

: Examining Differing Faculty PerspectivesAbstractThe question of what comprises effective engineering ethics education is intriguing and complex.Broadly, this research is attempting to identify strong models for macroethics education, so-called “exemplars”. Faculty interviews resulted in 35 descriptions of current ethics instructionalpractices: two programs, 32 individual courses (including first-year, capstone design, requiredand elective technical courses, and standalone ethics courses), and one co-curricular setting.Based on tenets of the I-Corps-L program, particularly its “customer discovery” process, thegoal of the interview analysis was to determine which of these teaching methods warrantedfurther study as

Engineering BS degrees andtheir experience with new graduates. The number one competency gap was in the area ofteamwork, particularly understanding diversity, team building and teamwork skills [SME97]. Inresponse to growing industry dissatisfaction, future university engineering education accreditationrequires the ability to function in teams as a student learning outcome [ABET97]. It’s a goodrequirement because team-based content in the curriculum has been shown to improve learningand retention of underrepresented minorities in non-engineering fields [Barr93, Cent97, Smit97,Bele86, Wank93, Full90]. It’s a challenge to develop effective programs that will allowengineering faculty to teach engineering team development skills in their courses. Some may

Students were asked to list all essentialinformation before building relationships between the material and the concept maps [24]. One major difference in the research for this paper was the curriculum layout wasreplaced with MM to specifically investigate the effect of mind maps on CT skills and howefficiently MM can be incorporated into a curriculum.

Student achievement data from the cohorts ofstudents associated with the two instructors are presented and analyzed. Some of the variabilitybetween the populations in the two cohorts is removed by using student grades in the prerequisitecalculus class as a basis for comparison. The study shows that Tablet PC use by the instructor asdescribed in the paper leads to savings in class time that can be devoted to additional problemsolving and testing opportunities for students. It also shows that such Tablet PC use resulted insignificant improvement in the performance (measured by the overall numeric course score) ofabove

This way, the undergrads benefit from the discussion surrounding these case studies, the graduate student has had an opportunity to improve her teaching portfolio, and I have had to devote less time than I had originally planned in developing the written documents.
