A final oral report is presented to the panel along with a writtenreport (~200 pages) at the end of the semester. The course also serves as a project managementlearning course for doctoral students in the department.By the end of the course, both students and the project managers should gain skills in thefollowing areas: 1. Decomposing, structuring, and formulating solutions to unstructured, complex, real- world problems. 2. Interdisciplinary problem solving: Data collection, analysis, and synthesis, formulation and evaluation of policy recommendations. 3. Developing professional oral and written communication skills

However this method of instruction has some serious shortcomings. Beinggeared more towards presenting the theoretical content in class, it fails to resolve the students’misconceptions and doubts pertaining to the real world applications of the concepts being taught.With the ever-increasing demand of curriculum expansion and inclusion of newer topicsevolving on the frontiers of engineering and science, most universities are left with fewer optionsother than to offer condensed versions of these traditional courses.

In the case of the TUD students,there are no open periods other than a few weeks between the semesters. It will therefore notbe possible for the students to complete the traditional TUD BSME industry internship. TheTUD BSME students do not earn academic credits for this internship, because while it is recog-nized as a substantial real-life engineering experience, its content cannot be effectively qualityassured by the TUD faculty. However, the completion of the TUD BSME degree requirementsacross universities in three different countries (US, Germany, and Sweden) can also reasonablybe

Their survey results also showed astrong correlation between communication skills and career performance (promotions, salary,etc.). Sageev and Romanowski2 summarize their investigation with the following statement: “Students need to learn basic people skills combined with technical communication skills or they will fail horribly when they enter the real world and have to compete with their peers.”The message appears to be clear; engineering graduates lack the professional skills desired by

The purpose of this learning strategy is to instill a desire to investigate in students, sothat the concepts learned are more ingrained. This contrasts the traditional learning style in whichstudents are presented with copious amounts of theory and examples with the hope that they canextract the underlying principle; the governing code in this approach is that practice makesperfect. While practice can help students to achieve a decent grade in their courses, it creates aclass of limited thinkers that may face challenges in solving real world problems.This study attempts to show that good problem solvers are

Often times these programs exclude biomedical engineering or, morespecifically, tissue engineering from their curriculum leading to students not being fully informedwhen choosing an undergraduate major [8]. Therefore, there is a strong need to motivate studentsto pursue degrees in STEM fields through summer programs, which expose students to engineeringtopics they would not experience otherwise such as tissue engineering research [8].To encourage high school students to explore all branches of engineering as an undergraduatemajor, summer programs have been run that cover a multitude of engineering topics across a fewweeks [6-8

In general, when peer assessments might identify socialloafers, social loafing decreases or even disappears .1In an attempt to preempt social loafing, instructors conduct student assessments and sometimeseven use this information to affect student grades . I am guilty of such a practice in my 3classrooms.

While there may be significant similarities across these fields, thespecific ethical quandaries they frame and means of training students to engage with them arenot shared [11], nor are their structures of governance [12]. Nonetheless, engineering educatorsfrequently borrow terms from medicine, if not practices or organizational models. Terms like“dosage,” “cure,” and “treatment, ” which might be considered technical in medical spaces, areused metaphorically in engineering education to discuss ethics training.
