In a similar way, separating the electronic design phase fromthe manufacturing and assembly issues may create costly problems that can be prevented.Therefore, it is crucial to make sure that the design is completely correct before the manufacturingand testing stages.To be able to produce graduates who are prepared for industry, engineering and engineeringtechnology programs should be aware of the latest industry design trends and ready to incorporateinto their curricula the relevant materials and techniques.

The icebreaker exercisesincluded some geotechnical engineering content and the performance on these exerciseswas included in the scope of materials being graded for the assignment.

Themethods and materials required to implement this educational experience in environmentalengineering programs to meet ABET accreditation requirements are also presented. Preparationfor the project requires student teams (3-4 students) to develop a basic evaluation and samplingprotocol to test a potential indoor air pollution problem. Students identify a pollutant of concern,either a gas (CO, Cl, VOC, Radon, O3, etc.) or particulate matter, and identify a feasible and safelocation on campus for testing.

In the original experiment the students developed thesyllabus details to include which subjects to address and the grading scheme. Thus the courseaddressed topics of interest to the students and for which they were in turn required to findappropriate reading and research material.

BFL allow to adapt thelearning process to students’ needs and objectives. For example, if a student needsreinforcement, he can review recorded lectures or pre-design material. In addition, many toolsare available to practice each of the topics at the rhythm at which each student learns. Inaddition, it allows certain

Thesestudents were asked to rank the situations as “not cheating”, “trivial cheating”, and “cheating”,instead of the obvious two, “cheating” and “not cheating”. “Trivial cheating” was defined bythe students as actions that do not preclude their learning of the material.

resulted in curriculum compression – sometimes to extreme levels.Faced with pressure to add material, reduce time, and satisfy the demands of the (sometimesarchaic) industry hiring practices, academe too often resorted to a balkanization approach incurriculum development.One possible solution to our overall dilemma is to make the entry level requirement forprofessional practice a 5- or 6-year program. This is at best only a partial solution to theproblem. While science and mathematics provide the engineer much of the basic tool andknowledge suite needed for practice, it is design, and more recently its abstraction into systemsengineering, that is the essence of our profession.
