Significant milestones in this area include the development of an effective model of re- ciprocal ”exploratory trips” to motivate international study in engineering; the International Engineering and Natural Sciences certificate program; and the Global Engineering College project, an NSF-funded exploration of a comprehensively internationalized curricular model for engineering education. These efforts culminated in 2010 with the creation of the Global Science and Engineering Program (GSEP), an innovative initiative to establish a comprehensive framework for

researchsituated in environmental contexts often placed teachers outside of their comfort zone. Theywere confronted with mathematics and science applications that were unfamiliar to them. Inthese new experiences, participants discovered new connections and identified innovative waysto incorporate them into their classroom. One mathematics teacher reflected on his experience, “Igot to see a different perspective. I got to see how mathematics is tying into other things.”Establishing these connections was critical for the design activities in which the teachersengaged. Bringing mathematics and science together was key to successful completion of thetask at hand. One science teacher elaborated, “I think with the beam that was really [obvious],especially that

Northwest serves over 92,000 students and offers over 12,000 degrees annually. This institution offers ten engineering and computer science undergraduate degrees, and is characterized by large classes in freshman and sophomore years (100-500) and smaller classes in junior (40-80 students) and senior year (15-40 students). Classes are commonly supported by multiple teaching assistants and contact with faculty is less frequent than at the other four schools in this study.  Teaching (Masters L): A medium-sized institution of over 10,000 students in the Midwest that combines an emphasis on teaching with emerging innovations in research, serving a regional student population.

learning easier to achieve because students can attach new material toexisting related knowledge rather than merely adopting arbitrary frameworks for memorizing thematerial [8].Another of our innovations is providing earlier access to aerospace material than is typical withinconventional ME programs. Aerospace topics are generally only taught as senior-level technicalelectives disjointed from the core ME curriculum. However, the co-investigators’ commonpassion for aerospace engineering and the existing project-based MSOE ME curriculum offer aunifying thread and a natural opportunity to enable aerospace material to be seamlessly presentedin required ME courses within different ME tracks across all four program years.METHODS/DESCRIPTIONTo

Active learning is one such approach, defined broadly as “any instructionalmethod that engages students in the learning process”2.

They also define specific characteristics that they use todistinguish project-based learning from problem-based learning. The key distinction seems to bethat the primary goal of project-based learning is the application of knowledge while the primarygoal of problem-based learning is the acquisition of knowledge. In practice, and in the form ofproject-based learning studied here, each project experience certainly lives at some point on thespectrum between pure acquisition of new knowledge and pure

approach also conveys the key notion that ethics is integral tothe practice of engineering versus, at best, an afterthought.Utilized effectively, the SIA has the potential to promote increase awareness of the dual nature oftechnology (i.e. it’s positive and negative impacts) and the complexity of engineering. Far fromscaring students away from STEM disciplines, the SIA can actually generate excitement aboutthe kinds of challenges engineers face. The SIA can desterilize engineering.ConclusionThe SIA is not intended to be an all encompassing approach to ethics education. Nor, do weclaim, is it a wholly new and innovative ethics assignment.
