related materials and qualitycontrol standards into the Industrial Engineering M.S. program. Hands-on activities based coursemodules were developed and implemented into three graduate level courses, including modifyingtwo existing courses and developing one new course. Since the three courses are not requiredcourses in the Industrial Engineering M.S. program, a new graduate level certificate program wasalso developed [4] consisting the three courses to attract more graduate students to take the threecourses. We conducted student surveys to collect their feedback on the effectiveness of thecourse modules, and their changes on the knowledge related to engineering standards andstandardization in manufacturing related materials and quality control

Similarly, we suggest programdevelopment work exploring the integration of these (and related) virtues into E/C programs anddevelopment of best practices for assessing effectiveness. Lastly, identifying these core virtueshighlights the need to raise the level of analysis in which our students engage, to address thegoals of engineering and the capacity of engineers to practice engineering in a way that promoteshuman flourishing [35].References[1] J.

.[ ] Chemical, mechanical, and electrical engineers play an important and expanding role in this burgeon-ing field because the fundamental core principles of each discipline are critical to biomedical mainstayssuch as the design of artificial organs. While the number of biomedical engineering degrees granted an-nually is increasing, many biomedical engineers have a background in chemical, mechanical, or electricalengineering with some specialized biomedical training. Engineering programs in these disciplines strug-gle to squeeze bio-related topics into their already-crowded curricula, yet undergraduate engineering stu-dents are rarely exposed to real biomedical topics through their coursework. To provide students with theskills directly relevant to the
