Each of these courses includes elements of CS, ECE and ME. To add cohesion withincourses, each course in the unified sequence has its own focus, such as locomotion, sensing,manipulation, and navigation. Students in the Robotics program also take other required andelective courses, selected from courses already offered by the various engineering departments.In addition, the program includes a component in social issues and another in entrepreneurship toprepare future “entrepreneurial engineers”7. Like all majors at WPI
degreeprograms at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute1, the SUNY CPD is taking a formal curriculumdevelopment approach to identifying and developing the programs and to ensure that regularassessment will be a required component of each program. Additionally, there is an opportunityto leverage the SUNY communities of practices to inform the curriculum development andassessment, and our approach is accounting for that. The specific elements of the approach areoutlined below: - Use of SUNY communities of practice and community leaders to determine highest priority professional development needs (roles and emphasis of programs), provide input for curriculum development, and participate in ongoing program assessment and new development

semester, IRE students complete anddeliver their PIPs as a part of their professionalism course. PIP not only has helped the studentsrecognize their professional strengths and weaknesses, it also helped students to track their pathto become engineering professionals.In this paper, we describe the IRE program, the curriculum and how PIP is integrated in thecurriculum, the students’ perspectives on PIP, and we will also discuss future improvement thatcan be made and the important learning outcomes for engineering students. At the end, weexplain how other entities could learn from this continuing professional development experience.2.

, is a slow process. One of the success stories indeveloping effective connections between the technology education and engineeringcommunities was the development of the Massachusetts curriculum framework in scienceand technology/engineering. The Science and Technology/Engineering frameworkderives from two reform initiatives in Massachusetts: the Education Reform Act of 1993and Partnerships Advancing the Learning of Mathematics and Science (PALMS). Since1992, the PALMS Statewide Systemic Initiative has been funded by the National ScienceFoundation in partnership with the state and the Noyce Foundation. The initial science andtechnology framework was approved in 1995 and was implemented in the field at the highschool level. Groups of technology

Patterson is now well-known as an author of “CrucialConversations” [13], but in the 1980s he was developing a company that used videos to providetraining during facilitated seminars on interpersonal skills. These videos and training materialswere adapted for the Association’s engineering student audience and donated for use in theEngineering Futures program.The initial EF curriculum covered four areas: People Skills, which focuses on communicatinginterpersonal problems; Team Chartering, which covers team dynamics and skills; GroupProcess, which offers tools for managing meetings effectively; and Analytical Problem Solving,which explores brainstorming and list reduction techniques

The key aspect of these activities is the predictive, analyticalaspects of engineering design and problem solving.Professional Development Activities NCETE goals include the following activities related to professional development:1 Conduct teacher professional development experiences to help teachers infuse engineering content and design into their instruction.2 Evaluate current pre-service programs and begin to refocus them to infuse engineering analysis and design content into the curriculum.3 Develop teachers’ instructional decision-making so that it focuses on the analytical Page 11.1180.5 nature of design and problem solving
administrative organization may place requirements on themselves to produce whatis determine to be a quality product/curriculum. This, therefore, is considered an internalrequirement, meaning, it came from one of their internal people versus from the externalcustomer (adult professional learner/business).An explicitly stated requirement, then, is one that is stated directly by the customer. For example,“we need a course in operating system design using multiple processors” In this case, the twostated requirements are: (1) operating system design, and (2) multiple processors. As acontinuing professional development administrative organization, it is recognized there existsother prerequisite courses required to gain a full understanding and appreciation

It is important to recognize that some learners may be curious to learn whenthey ‘see’ something interesting (Narayanan, 2007). Some others may be inclined todevelop curiosity when the ‘read’ about a new subject matter.

and were well-suited to bridge the divide between technical engineering knowledge, pedagogical practice, andsocial context. While top-down mandates from leadership were perceived as threatening in somecases, “knowledge brokers” could potentially help faculty adjust curriculum to their specificneeds and strengths. Similar engineering education initiatives have also benefited from usingknowledge brokers that span informational boundaries [10].(5) Cluster HireA cluster of new tenure-track faculty were hired who were interested in integratingsociotechnical content into engineering curriculum to form a new department within the schoolof engineering. They have successfully developed and taught several new courses that align withthe goals of the

This way, curriculum lays out the mosteffective ways of achieving specific results.We believe that the most effective curricular design is “backward”. Backward design arose intandem with the concept of learning standards, and it is widely viewed as a practical process forusing standards to guide the development of a course. As a strategy for designing, planning, andsequencing curriculum and instruction, backward design

To develop a morelasting relationship with the students, Chevron requested that students be allowedto re-apply through their senior year.This also required that the curriculum of the program be redesigned. Not onlywould the program have to mirror that of professional development programsfound in entry-level engineering position programs [6-10], but the program wouldhave to be tiered and designed such that the knowledge base would build yearafter year. The updated curriculum incorporated active learning workshops ratherthan mere lectures. The revamped program and workshop curriculum carefullyincorporated established

An online program allows nontraditional students to take classes at theirconvenience while retaining their full-time jobs and maintaining their commitments to familyand community. Among a set of courses required by curriculum, construction estimating was oneof the most challenging courses for online delivery due to its complexity, hands-on approach oflearning, and group work requirements.

While the department can propose changes to the curriculum, it is currentlyreviewed and either accepted or rejected by other members of the college and faculty on the localcampus outside of the college.In addition to the concern about the institutional procedures, others placed concern with the needto follow Scrum process for the sake of the process, rather than focusing on the goals of thedepartment and the quality of the product developed by the Scrum Team: “it's very easy to feel you're doing a great job on the process and not actually accomplish the goal.
