novel recent approaches took place inimplementing design spines through a series of design challenge activities. The idea of challengeactivities is established but using them to implement a design spine is quite new. Datye and theircolleagues developed a series of substantial, large-scale projects incorporated across multipleclasses in a chemical engineering curriculum to teach design principles. The projectsincorporated elements of working with engineering alumni, considering entrepreneurial factors,and community interfacing, all geared at solving various phenomena.Khan’s recent work interviewing instructors that had participated in design spine teachingmethodologies spoke positively of the benefits of the methodology, including its role

Introduction The adoption of Lean Manufacturing philosophy by manufacturers worldwide hascreated a demand for workers who are trained in the Lean principles and have an eye forthe waste in the value stream [1]. A previously developed Lean enterprise trainingprogram has been combined with a ship repair simulation activity to teach students aboutLean philosophy and its implementation. This curriculum is part of an upper-divisionelective in the Mechanical Engineering technology program at Old Dominion University(ODU).

the curriculum requires a larger community of shared concern and practice. 2The original E R2P concept drew on Wenger et al. [18-20] in cultivating the work ofcommunities of practice (CoPs). These CoPs are “groups of people informally bound together byshared expertise and a passion for joint enterprise…people in communities of practice share theirexperiences and knowledge in free-flowing, creative ways that foster new approaches toproblems” [19]. Unlike formal teams created by managers, members of a CoP are informal andself-organizing, with members selecting themselves based on their passions, commitments, andidentification with the group’s expertise; the CoP will last as long as there is interest inmaintaining

the engineering curriculum is not a new idea [5 and 6, for example].Case studies used in classes are a relatively common occurrence. But the inclusion of ethics in avariety of classes has not been implemented widely, perhaps due to a number of issues. The ideathat the science and mathematics of engineering, as found in an engineering statics class, forexample, are completely neutral seems reasonable. After all, torque doesn’t appear to have anethical dimension. However, effective teaching of engineering should encourage that the conceptof torque be taught in the context of a real world example. For example, torque is oftenassociated with the collapse of cantilever bridges like the collapse of the Quebec bridge in 1907that resulted in the

Additionally, eachproject involves a complex laboratory experiment and use of process simulation software(HYSYS) problems. This work is carefully guided by the course instructors in a way to promoteindependent learning while assessing the desired outcomes.
