2002. The ‘New Curriculum’ was adopted by theCollege of Engineering faculty in 2001, and the first class graduated in spring 2006. Thecurriculum was revised upon the recommendation of a Curriculum Advancement TaskForce (CATF) charged by the Engineering Faculty Council (EFC) and the Dean of theCollege of Engineering to recommend changes to the undergraduate and graduatecurricula and programs to give engineering students an education that reaches beyondtechnology. The CATF documented the following vision for the undergraduate programs: The College of Engineering undergraduate programs are designed to draw on the broad resources of The University to attract the best and brightest students and prepare them to be engineers who will succeed

That is, it is important to create linksbetween non-technical courses and the engineering thought process in order for the student tounderstand how non-technical topics (economics, entrepreneurship, business modeling, ethics,political science, psychology, and global competitiveness) affect an engineer’s job. For example,an engineer can use a basic knowledge of psychology to learn how to empathize with the end userof a product. This in turn will help the engineer become more creative by understanding how hisdesign is perceived by other people. The downside is that the introduction of non-technicalcourses is constrained by credit hours. If a department wishes to pursue this option, it must decidewhat portions of its current

If parents’ and counselors’ perceptions are flawed about theopportunities in US manufacturing, then students will not be encouraged to take the classes orthe training to begin manufacturing work when they graduate. Industry leaders, faculty, andadministrators need to offer the message often that there are careers opportunities, financialreward, satisfaction, and fulfillment found in manufacturing careers.Manufacturing has evolved to predominantly be advanced manufacturing, or the use ofinnovative technologies to create existing products and the creation of new products through ablend of information, automation, computation, software, sensing, and networking [4].The U.S. does

A significant emphasis was placed on developing a conceptual understandingthroughout Engineering Thermodynamics and, given the high percentage of reflective learners inthe class, this approach was likely appreciated (at least in terms of learning) because a thoroughexplanation of the correct answer was given for every concept test implemented in the course.Case Study 2 indicated a possible significant change in thinking by Student Y from pre- courseto post-course regarding learning from a correct answer. The small sample size of very strong“sensors” does not allow for any conclusions to be drawn, but an explanation for the noticeablechange by this student regarding this

withincreasing engineering class sizes across the country, opportunities for undergraduate students toexperience critically formative clinical immersion is scarce if not impossible. This situation hasled to an inequitable education for students in undergraduate biomedical engineering (BME)programs. To fully embed BME students into the clinical flow, they must develop anunderstanding of the customer needs and daily workflows of those who will utilize theirengineering solutions [4]. Without an understanding of how physicians utilize thesetechnologies for both diagnoses and treatment in their daily workflow, our students are placed ina disadvantageous position that could negatively affect medical device innovation as a whole.To remain competitive in the

It is important that studentsare exposed and introduced to STEM content early on in the educational “pipeline” to ensure thatthey are interested in pursuing STEM-related degrees at the collegiate level. It is important tonote that while STEM exposure early on in the pipeline is important, it does not ensure that allstudents, in particular underrepresented minorities, will end up in a STEM related field. It isessential to take into account sociocultural factors that might affect and alter the journey throughthe pipeline for minority students 2 ; some of these factors might include unequal access to STEMopportunities and classes, as well as the White male stereotypical depiction of

As partof our continuous improvement process, external feedback from invited evaluators showed thatthere were issues with gender roles assumed in projects. Women were more likely to take onroles related to communication; men were more likely to go to the shop and build prototypes. Inthe spring of 2014, Rose Marra and Barbara Bogue did an initial diversity study and one of theirfindings was that it was not just an issue of taking on roles, but an issue of inclusivity. Examplesof issues were that women students felt that their voices were not being heard in projectdiscussions and that they were being talked
