In this approach, one or more systems are presented to the students early in theirengineering program. Throughout their courses, the students are reminded of where they are inthe system. A specific example is discussed of how this approach is being used as a test casewith five courses in the electrical engineering curriculum at the United States Air ForceAcademy. The resulting improvement in student performance is also discussed.INTRODUCTIONThe typical undergraduate engineering student sees most of his or her courses as a collection offacts and formulas.

hasrecognized the need for more policy inclusion in the curriculum. However, it is difficult to addpolicy courses to the engineering and technology curricula firstly because these curricula arealready packed and secondly because there is a large variation in students’ interest in and priorknowledge of policy topics. Therefore, Purdue University has taken a flexible approach,providing students with a diversity of options to introduce policy knowledge. These optionsdiffer in their length, the instructional approaches used, the depth of coverage of the variouspolicy topics, and the range of content covered. This paper will take a case study approach,describing the options and discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the various options

This means engineering courses are taught byengineering faculty, and business courses by business faculty. Thus, in these other programs, itis left up to the student to integrate the subject matter between the two degrees.Our new approach was to design, develop, and deliver an integrated learning experiencewherever the input from our corporate partners suggested that was preferable. This meant thata faculty team consisting of one engineering professor and one business professor would worktogether to design an integrated learning component (course) for the

However, the increased number of exams with the SMART approachcould provide significant stress on students if they are taking several classes that are taught withthe approach. By developing more useful study habits early in their curriculum while taking corecourses, it is hoped that these habits would stick and prove beneficial throughout theirundergraduate career.This paper provides other new instructors with a summary of the basic premise of the SMARTmethod and an example of modifications that allowed it to be successfully adopted in a newcourse.References 1.

Alongthese lines, the faculty in The College of Engineering and Computer Science at California StateUniversity, Northridge are working with industry leaders and professionals to continuouslyimprove the entrepreneurship curriculum being taught to the engineers of today & tomorrow.One of

Engineering Curriculum Abstract In addition to providing the technical expertise required to solve 21st century problems, theengineers of 2020 will be expected to adapt to a continuously evolving environment while oper-ating outside the limits of their discipline and remaining ethically grounded. Their undergraduatetraining must therefore be designed to nurture engineers to transcend traditional disciplinaryboundaries, and to communicate, transfer knowledge, and collaborate across technical and non-technical boundaries. One approach to this challenge is to incorporate biomimicry or bio-inspireddesign into the engineering curriculum.
