graduate degrees and a major wereconsidered, the most appropriate program was identified to be a minor. 1Throughout the planning process, careful attention was paid to making sure the program did notbecome too focused on any one discipline, so that it will be possible for students from manydifferent majors to complete the minor. The minor is composed of three newly created, requiredcourses (Introduction to Sustainability Studies, Analysis and Decision Making for Sustainability,and Working Towards Sustainability), and three elective courses. The electives are chosen fromamong existing courses which contain a significant focus on sustainability issues

There are also some related beliefs, such as thatresearch underpins high-quality under-graduate education; that researchers are betterteachers and finally that research is the best way to maintain knowledge currency. Itshould be noted however, that studies have not always backed up the positive link andthat “the common belief that teaching and research are

He has had a successful research program in Ergonomics for over 20 years, but he found that students, both undergradute and graduate, do not know how to express their design ideas visually through freehand sketching. This phenomenon is due to the prevalance of Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, which, starting in 1990, supplanted mechanical drafting

Thesecontemporary challenges require a systems perspective and a growing need to pursuecollaborations with multidisciplinary teams of technical experts. Important attributes forthese teams include excellence in communication (with technical and public audiences),an ability to communicate using technology, and an understanding of the complexitiesassociated with a global market and social contextii. In order to ensure that engineering students studying in any university in the USreceive an appropriate and useful education, ABET a-k criteria have been created.

In addition, fromthe perspective of the college and their connections with employers, neither strategy builds closerrelationships between the college of engineering and the companies that employ their graduates.Therefore, the college elected to explore possible additional strategies.How Did This Get Started?In the spring of 1998, Associate Dean of Graduate

Most of these investigations appear to keep research as the focal pointof the experience for the students. Sanford-Bernhardt and Roth reported multiple options foradministratively promoting research activities for students. 9 Others have reported research-oriented capstone project experiences (e.g., Ref. 10).

IntroductionThe efficacy of the traditional educational paradigm where students are primarily exposed toconceptual and theoretical based instruction is being re-evaluated by members of the academy aswell as from the community of industry leaders. Specifically, members representing thecorporate world have opined that they have observed that recent technology graduates haveconsiderable technical skills, but lack the experience and background in approaching and solvingreal–world problems. Industry leaders have also expressed the thought that the moderntechnologist skill-set should include technical and non-technical abilities such as communicationand leadership

Descriptions of laboratory exercises are presented along withdirections for future research, including improved assessment approaches and ideas for additionallaboratory exercises.IntroductionDespite the importance of dynamic systems and control in daily life, students are often notmotivated to study those topics for various reasons. One source of student dissatisfaction comesfrom the mismatch between the complex robotic systems that are used to motivate the topic andthe more mundane systems that are studied in-class. Typical dynamic systems and control coursesfocus on mass-spring-damper models of mechanical systems for in-class examples and simplehardware

Established field sites, particularly in the biological sciences, haveprovided iterations of visits by students and faculty as their research value over time is notdiminished.The challenge for undergraduate engineering programs to utilize the traditional field sitemodel within the curriculum is twofold. First and foremost is the highly structured nature ofmost engineering programs of study. Accreditation requirements, discipline specificspecializations, and rapidly changing technology come together in an extended curriculumfor most engineering students.
