“If it isn’t broken, it doesn’thave enough features yet.” There is a bit of truth in this humorous insight into the psyche of theEngineer. Engineers are always searching for better implementations and better solutions. Thesame is true for engineering faculty and the delivery of an engineering curriculum. While agiven curriculum may serve the current population well, a better solution most assuredly exists.In a continuous search for the better solution, engineering faculty follow the engineering processto develop new and better ways to deliver program and best serve the constituents. Thefollowing describes the development and implementation of ECE 210 Principles of Air ForceElectronic Systems, a breadth-first introductory course in Electrical
for engineeringstudents. At our university, undergraduate students at all levels have been and will continue tobe involved in water resources projects throughout their undergraduate careers. While our areais well suited for providing these projects, the approach can be emulated in many otheruniversities. The integration of projects across the curriculum provides a better studentexperience and understanding of civil engineering practice. Projects in the classroom should behandled like projects in professional practice with students taking responsibility for planning andexecuting the projects. Experience with freshmen students in these projects was particularly positive. Theelevation certificate survey provides an excellent elementary
Professional Practice and the Engineering Curriculum Paul M. Jones, J. Richard Phillips Corporate & University Relations Group/ Harvey Mudd CollegeAbstractThere are elements of professional practice common to the engineering profession in allengineering fields. However, many, if not most, engineering academic curricula allowlittle or no room for professional practice other than minimal capstone projects. In thosethat do, the approach is widely scattered. The purpose of this paper is three-fold: (1) Tobriefly describe a professional practice program (featuring sponsored senior designprojects) as adopted by California State University, Los Angeles (CSULA); (2) Todiscuss difficulties

Thiscould be an iconoclastic approach if any history pertaining to the evolution of engineeringdisciplines or the needs of the industry is not taken into account.Regardless of the subject emphasis, all agricultural and biological engineering curriculums

Increasing educational awareness about standardization is one of twelve primaryobjectives of the USSS (1). To that end, over the past several years standards professionals haveconducted studies to determine how professors are incorporating standards into currentcurriculums. In parallel, other attempts have been made to increase students’ awareness ofstandards by imposing minimal requirements for standards use within specific engineering andtechnology ABET requirements. Yet the question of how to adequately implement the practiceand application of standards into curriculums still remains largely unanswered. Among standards
: A New Curricular Model for Engineering EducationIntroductionTraditional physics undergraduate education has used a “spiral curriculum” method1: mechanics,waves, statistical and thermal physics, electromagnetics, and quantum physics are introduced in afreshman-level survey course; each of these subjects is covered again at a higher level insophomore and junior level courses; and selected topics are revisited in senior-level “specialtopic” or advanced study courses. This model allows for deepening understanding of each topicand the application of more sophisticated mathematical methods – such as complex analysis,differential equations, integral transforms, matrix methods, and linear algebra – as the students’mathematics preparation progresses

to lead outside the formal curriculum AbstractLeadership has historically been part of professional engineers’ work life, but until recently itwas not integrated into the formal engineering curriculum. With the support of the NationalAcademy of Engineering and Engineers Canada along with regulatory pressures from theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology and the Canadian EngineeringAccreditation Board, committed engineering educators with ties to industry have begun to takeup this curricular challenge in greater numbers. Unfortunately, many of these programs touchonly a small segment of the student body because they remain on the periphery of engineeringfaculties. As a result, we know little about the

While addressing theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) criteria in our coursestructuring, our methodology uses a hybrid combination of techniques including (1)project-based learning, (2) field trips, and (3) team-working tasks and group activitiesboth inside and outside the classroom. The discussion in this paper includes contentanalysis of free-form written student responses, reports, and reflection statements, andhow we can use these to modify the course and provide feedback to the students. Weenvision that these early experiences improve student attitudes and encourage moreactive and meaningful student participation in their own

development and deployment of a new, integrative, first-yearbiomedical engineering curriculum focused on studio-based learning of engineering design.Developed by an interdisciplinary team of faculty and staff, this curriculum is team-taught(meaning, multiple faculty are in the studio at all times) by biomedical engineers, mechanicalengineers who specialize in design, a professor of English, a computer scientist, and amathematician. The foundation of the curriculum is the engineering design studio, which meetsfour hours per day, four days per week. The design studio has a different general theme for eachacademic quarter – for example, the Fall quarter theme is ‘Play for All,’ focusing on children’splay environments, toys, and games that are
usually not achieved the desired results(Pierzalowski et al., 2021). Educators have known for quite a while that students’ experiencesand perceptions about how STEM subjects are usually taught often contribute to their choices notto choose a STEM major (Dischino, et al., 2011). Current approaches often lack frameworks forequity-centered instruction, hindering its potential (McGowan & Bell, 2020). Fortunately, thereare clues in the literature that indicate STEM curricula should expand beyond its knowledge-centric orientation. In response, a new foundational engineering course at USAFA attempts tobuild upon students' existing knowledge, interests, and identities as well as the transdisciplinaryand dynamic nature of engineering in practice
