Session 1535 Broadening Engineering Education through International Programs Keshav S. Varde College of Engineering & Computer Science University of Michigan-Dearborn Dearborn, MichiganAbstractIn recent years there has been a rapid move to globalize engineering profession throughoutsourcing product development, manufacturing and service. Nowhere has this been moreobvious than in automotive and computer/software industry. Realizing the need to provide someaspects of global education to engineering and computer science
utilization of such approachesyields limited learning outcomes [1-5]. Broad based active approaches to learning, using, forexample, Problem-Based Learning, Project-Based Learning, POGIL (Process Oriented GuidedInquiry Learning), Collaborative Learning, Flipped Classrooms, as well as techniques as simpleas Think-Pair-Share and Journaling, can be more effective in promoting learning for a broaderspectrum of students not only in the classroom but also throughout an engineering graduate’scareer [6-11]. The emphases within engineering education have also shifted as the need forbroader engagement with diverse populations of learners has been recognized and industry hasexpressed a desire for more engineering employees who bring not only technical skills to

Thackeray, Technology Management Department, Utah Valley UniversityAbstractIn recent years, the development of software products has become increasingly complex andinvolves a variety of professionals from different disciplines. Software engineers need to be able tocommunicate and collaborate across teams, departments, and organizations. Althoughinterdepartmental course collaborations are not a new pedagogical approach, linking concepts fromdifferent subject areas creates a holistic learning experience that is often lacking in softwareengineering courses and is needed to effectively mirror industry software development. Thecollaborative approach to course delivery has the advantage of allowing software engineers to worktogether with less technical

Powered by www.slayte.com[WORK IN PROGRESS] Interdisciplinary and collaborative approach to integrating stream studies into campus curriculaAbstractProject based learning (PBL) is a type of experiential learning in which students are presented with acomplex problem(s) that could have multiple feasible solutions and are tasked with developing a plan orproduct that addresses that problem. A lot of emphasis has recently been put into integrating PBLexperiences into the undergraduate curriculum. Students are often presented with projects that aretailored to fit within the time constraints of a given course. However, when that project is a subset of alarger whole, then a comprehensive solution is rarely

The Council made recommendations in three broad categories: talent with thecreation of a culture of collaboration and “symbiotic relationship between research andcommercialization,” investment seeking “to give innovators the resources and incentives tosucceed,” and infrastructure with the creation of “new industry-academia alliances . . . . andflexible intellectual properties regimes” 6.

. Because of the integrated multidisciplinaryapproach, the scope for innovation in product engineering is ever increasing. With rapidchanges in technology and more applications becoming real-time and embedded, teaching themechatronics course only through laboratories or course projects is not sufficient. The leapfrom the traditional sequential design approach to the mechatronics philosophy is very big.Added to this are the various definitions that have evolved and the various methodologiesdeveloped for the mechatronics system design. Mechatronics is at a stage of evolutionaryprocess of modern engineering design and involves systems thinking. “V-cycle” is aprescribed industrial process for mechatronics. It is a graphical construct used tocommunicate
