The university isbest known for its 47 year-old project-based curriculum. WPI’s 14-week semesters aredivided into two seven-week “terms.” Our sequence involves a three-credit course in thefirst term (for which students receive Humanities and Arts credit) followed by another 3-credit course in the second term (for which they receive Engineering credit). The twocourses are an integrated six-credit hour sequence.“Humanitarian Engineering Past and Present” provides a deep, integrative learningexperience of benefit to both STEM and non-STEM students, and it is our hope that itwill be taught in

The assessment highlights a student benefit from participation, which isgaining technical skills. The study also shows other benefits to the students, such as system designand time management skills.One of the prime motivations for the proposed course is to instill the concepts of entrepreneurship,science, technology, engineering, and interdisciplinary collaboration in students so they maypursue careers in areas related to Internet of Things (IoT) applications. These concepts canstrengthen motivation and improve on student learning. Furthermore, the instructors of this coursewill work alongside the students to enhance their awareness of

It is a systematic approach that stimulates innovation by effectivelyusing both sides of the brain. The methodology is a unified approach that builds oncomprehensive

Freshmen had a combination of individual and team assignments togain knowledge in both health inequity and the design process. Throughout the semester,students heard lectures from guest speakers and clinicians on a variety of topics relating to healthinequity and/or the design process including: Health Inequity in the Emergency Room, theDesign Process, Empathy in Design, Ethics in Engineering Design, Ensuring Diversity inClinical Trials, Social Justice, and Entrepreneurship. The course also included discussions oncase studies in ethics with faculty mentors and a design project utilizing

Recognizing that the main objectives of the course involved collaborative workand communication, it was critical these skills were modeled to the students. Thus, the coursewas co-taught by two instructors. The instructor-of-record, a professor in engineering education,taught the course for the first time. The secondary instructor, a

It advances fundamental concepts; createsknowledge from the molecular to the organ systems level; and develops innovative biologics,materials, processes, implants, devices, and informatics approaches for the prevention, diagnosis,and treatment of disease, for patient rehabilitation, and for improving health.” Biomedicalengineers take classes in all basic sciences as

In response to the usefulness of the assignments tolearning, students found Assignments #4, #6, and #7 to be most useful. This determination isbased on the number of responses of “extremely useful” or “very useful” each assignmentreceived, as shown in Figure 1. Assignment #4 focused on academic major exploration, whichaligned with many students’ primary motive for taking the course, so it is not surprising thatstudents found this

For three lecture sessions, a mock factory station is erected in the style ofpopular escape rooms, simulating the scene of an equipment failure. Students complete an initialassessment of the equipment’s expected service based on a brief dossier. Small “investigationteams” are formed and granted timed access to explore the scene, collect clues, and note sitesafety violations. Next, students think critically about the circumstances, machinery, and humanelements to compose an evidence-supported theory that identifies why the part failed and who isultimately culpable. Findings are presented to the class, and the teams compete
graduate program curriculum provides new graduates with the advanced knowledge, experience, and tools needed to develop their skills to apply, interpret and manage situations that occur in the changing technology- based workplace. The MS in Engineering Technology is offered through two concentrations: 1) Engineering Technology and 2) Entrepreneurial Leadership. For each concentration, there are five specific student learning outcomes (SLOs) as outlined below. 1. Communicate effectively in technical writing, oral presentation and graphic design to meet the standards of APA and other standard technical writing styles. 2.

For instance, Curiosity is demonstrated by “explore acontrarian view of accepted solutions” and Creating Value is demonstrated by “identifyunexpected opportunities to create extraordinary value”. The framework continues from the threeCs to Engineering Thought and Action, Collaboration, Communication, and Character. As withthe three Cs, each concept is supported by example student behaviors. It is important to note thatthe entrepreneurial mindset is different from entrepreneurship. Rather than creating new ventures,the entrepreneurial mindset focuses on inclusion of entrepreneurial skills in engineering practice.The junior/senior-level mechatronics
