This is desirable as it is poised for growth and sustainability. At the 2010Nanotechnology Entrepreneurship Forum, there was a consensus among the guest speakersand panelists for the need to move beyond the “Forbes.Com” top ten nanotechnology productsto achieving its true potential in the aerospace, naval and homeland security infrastructuredevelopment. In order to achieve this potential that is currently estimated at 20 Billion($1,085
a Polymer Processing Learning ModuleAbstractA polymer processes module has been introduced into a manufacturing course for mechanicalengineers. The module takes place over two 2-hour class periods and includes an injectionmolding lab, question formulation technique activity, jigsaw activity, and business proposalmini-project. In addition to polymer process knowledge, the module targets learning objectivessuch as curiosity, customer focus, economic decision making, and motivation for continuedlearning. In Fall 2020, the learning objectives were assessed using a variety of methodsincluding an ABET outcome assessment instrument, assignment grading rubrics, quizzes, andsurveys. The assessment results show a promising level of learning on the

As they race against the clock, there might be little opportunity for thoroughdeliberation, leading to potential distractions for others trying to focus on their own work.Balancing the benefits and challenges of collaborative exams is essential. To make them moreeffective, educators could consider implementing certain guidelines or mechanisms to encourageequal participation and prevent freeloading. This might include individual assessments within thecollaborative exam or encouraging each team member to present their understanding of thesolutions. Moreover, providing ample opportunities for teamwork and collaboration outside examsettings can also contribute to stronger teams. In-class activities

themes in engineering have focused on sustainability, entrepreneurship, designthinking, internationalization and social justice (Murphy et al., 2009; Tranquillo 2013;Tranquillo 2017; UNESCO 2010). As improved health care intersects all of these trends,biomedical engineers are well suited to take on leadership roles. In parallel, pedagogicaltrends have moved toward design challenges, wicked problems, project-based learningand engagement with live case studies (Blumenfeld et al. 1991; Prince 2004; Omenn2006; Bell, 2010; Beaurey 2010; Mote et al, 2016). Biomedical engineering faculty havein fact led the way in developing many of these learning opportunities (Tranquillo andCavanagh 2009; Gimm 2011; Abby et al., 2013; Dolan 2013).This paper outlines

Still as stated atthe beginning of this paper, none could be found related to maritime education (technology oreconomy). On the other hand, education focussing on entrepreneurship is described to embracegames already for a long time[18] and to some extent, the maritime business game falls into thisaspect, though the goals are different, as entrepreneurial skills are not the focus

Teaching MethodologiesThe nature of project-based courses calls for a hybrid teaching methodology that involves shortlectures, active learning, lab sessions, and team-based projects. Typically, each class starts with ashort lecture, which is followed by a set of lab exercises. The lab exercises were designed forstudent to learn how to build simple applications using the APIs covered in the lecture.The flipped classroom active learning methodology [4,5] was applied throughout these coursesbecause it fits very well with the project-oriented nature of the courses. Specifically, for theadvanced tasks in the lab exercises and for the
undergraduate degree program. Throughout their time in the GCSP, students engage incurricular, co-curricular, and extracurricular experiences (courses and experiences) to achieve theprogram outcomes, known as the GCSP Competencies: Talent; Multidisciplinary; ViableBusiness/Entrepreneurship; Multicultural; and Social Consciousness [1]. To achieve eachcompetency, students must complete two courses and/or experiences, except for the ViableBusiness/Entrepreneurship competency which only requires one course or experience, and SocialConsciousness which requires 80 hours of service-learning experience. Each student tailors theirexperiences in alignment with their personal interests and focuses their experiences on anoverarching theme (sustainability, health

These forces of globalization, demographics, and technologicaladvances are changing the role of engineering in society1, calling for changes in the wayuniversities address the engineering profession and education. It is important for students to gainthe skills needed for this changing global economy and working environment. Engineers areincreasingly required to be purveyors of technological solutions and must work together withmarketing and business components in new product development. While we still must equip ourengineers with strong technical skills, proficiency in areas such as communication, leadership,innovation, business and entrepreneurship is also necessary

In addition, Icarus students have higher levelsof aspirations on how well they will do in their engineering courses, and higher levels of deep learning whencompared to other non-Icarus engineering students in the same year.

These engineering concepts,though, are not abstracted from social, political, and economic considerations. Rather,engineering is imbued with social context. Through class events like town hall meetings,debates, and stakeholder analyses, students in character, are exposed to differentperspectives, values, priorities, and constraints. Additional out-of-class work such asindividual reflective essays and team-based projects also engaged them in ethicalreasoning and complex cognitive tasks related to empathy, ethics, and social justice.
