Trevelyan thus identifies a mismatch in engineering education andwork, ultimately concluding that engineering education curriculum change based on empiricalstudies of engineering work has the potential to strengthen engineering education. Thisconclusion is similar to the position of Stevens, Johri & O’Connor (2013), who argue that thecontexts of engineering education and professional engineering work should be understood inconcrete detail and studied comparatively.

Twenty studies, meeting study criteria, were coded for 39 variables in six categories. Studies were assigned to one of two groups based on the statistical evidence that was reported. Group I reported p-values only and Group II reported F, t, or chi square values. Significance of Group I studies is shown through a summary chi square and p value. A summary weighted unbiased effect size was determined for Group II studies. With only 0.07% of studies meeting search criteria, it was determined that there is a limited amount

a significant role in theconfiguration design of these primary components.The traditional engineering education is structured to emphasize on mathematics, physical,sciences, and engineering sciences. The problem is the lack of sufficient concentration on designand creativity. The creative thinking and its attitudes is essential to design success. Creating a newdesign requires ability of creativity and overcoming its strong barriers. Many engineeringprofessors find it more difficult to teach design than to teach traditional engineering science-basedanalytical topics. Every undergraduate engineering curriculum has a design component, althoughthe extent and structure of that component may vary widely. Engineering design fundamentals arecommon

The benefits from this partnership includes a laboratory experiencebased on real-world networks and traffic, the use of state-of-the-practice methods and tools, andthe inclusion of curriculum input from practicing engineers. The results from the two years of thisexperiment demonstrate that such a collaborative effort can be fruitful and can be pursued further.A proposed implementation at Rowan University is discussed at the end of this paper.IntroductionA survey conducted by

Abstract In drug delivery systems (DDS) research and education, the integration of biology, chemistry, engineering and medicine is imperative to design therapies that address medical problems and disease. Engineers rely on medical and clinical experts to translate DDS to the clinic and healthcare settings, making these relationships invaluable. Recently, trends in biology, medical education and biomedical engineering curriculum integrate social and public health aspects of medicine at all levels of study (undergraduate, graduate, and medical school), when traditionally, the curriculum taught basic science and social perspectives as two
