According toWankat 5, “The stalled condition of reform results not from slow propagation of new research results but instead from a combination of the faculty’s lack of basic pedagogical knowledge and the split in faculty interest between teaching and research. Other factors include faculty time constraints, university reward systems that favor research, lack of administrative support, and requirements to include more content in the curriculum”On the other hand, Armstrong 6 emphasizes that we simply have not paid enough attention to thecurriculum development in the last four decades.Because, Chemical Engineering Education

The project is therefore an importantopportunity to embed a systems approach by creating an educational and organizationalframework for conducting interdisciplinary, systems engineering-based Senior Design Projectsthat allows us, and others, to institutionalize this type of project as the norm rather than theexception. Thus the goal is to inculcate aspects of systems engineering into the education ofstudents in all engineering disciplines through their major capstone project.However, at Stevens the baseline for this is not zero. A feature of the engineering curriculum isthat some basic systems engineering concepts are

Over the pastfew years, many papers have been written to document the drastic evolution of these courses.Most of the changes have been driven by advances in virtual instrumentation and dataacquisition. Other developments resulted from critiquing student outcomes, which was broughtabout from current accreditation procedures.One area which has not been addressed in the literature is assessing

And then, you have new people coming in who are more open to changing things, and I think the main issue is you have so many people. And trying to get a person to buy into it and utilize it, I think is the biggest challenge.The logistical considerations related to having instructors and sections at other campuses alsocomplicated the adoption process.

have long argued that technologies have politics andare imbued with the values, beliefs, and perceptions of their designers [4-6]. More recent worktraces the ways (the myth of) technological neutrality perpetuates systems of power and inequitythat shape nearly every aspect of our lives. Who gets to be a designer of technology is a criticalquestion to ask; equally important are questions about who decides the problems technologiesseek to solve and what counts as a problem in the first place [7]. Bringing case studies intoengineering education grounds these kinds of challenges and questions in the course curriculum;by making the case studies student-led, students must think for themselves about the waystechnologies have shaped their lives, for
