flavor of what engineers actually do and also could learn the basic elements ofthe design process by being involved in real design projects.This paper reports on the development and execution of a senior design course at an internationaluniversity, where practitioners played a major role, side by side with faculty members, inplanning and teaching the capstone design course. Development of the course plan coincidedwith a departmental decision to revamp and update the existing senior design course, to moreeffectively relate the concepts of design and to expose students to professional practice in theRegion. The restructured capstone course, co-taught by a local consulting firm, has met, inprinciple, the objectives behind the desired change, and

One approach that may prove promising forincreasing STEM education and employment opportunities for IwD is spatial visualization skillsinstruction, and some research suggests such an approach may also be beneficial for IwD. Thisresearch team implemented two pilot studies to explore: 1) how a curriculum designed forimproving the spatial skills of first-year engineering students contributes to the development ofspatial skills for IwD; 2) what modifications are needed to make the curriculum more accessiblefor IwD; 3) what are the limitations or benefits of virtual versus in-person teaching for thisparticular population; and 4) what are the perceptions of IwD regarding the curriculum and theircapacity for success in STEM.

Every engineering studentwill be exposed to BME concepts and measurements and gain awareness of the importance ofhuman considerations in all design. A mini-lecture with homework concerning BME applicationsis developed for core areas of engineering and made available for instructors at LeTourneauUniversity, and elsewhere upon request. This approach serves to further integrate the engineeringcurriculum by means of a “BME concepts across the curriculum” approach.Six modules have been completed and used in the following courses: • Dynamics – Muscles forces across the elbow

The curriculum is focused on students who have finished theirundergraduate studies with a university degree in civil, building or structural engineering,surveying and construction. A roughly estimated average of 10 students per participatingcountry per year would give about 50 students in the first year [15].

One challenge is ensuring that students learn andretain the unique technical and professional skills and abilities needed for the microelectronicsworkforce, which can be lost if not properly taught and reinforced [5]. The other challenge issetting students up for success as lifelong learners by instilling a sense of professionaldevelopment in the students who already have a full curriculum [6].

Additionally, as Buckenmyer6asserts, “the negative experiences that students often have with course team assignments can sourtheir attitudes toward all team participation, which may affect their performance in teams in lateremployment. Many negative experiences can be attributed to lack of development in teamprocesses.” Students graduating from our course consistently report that the skills they developduring the weekend seminar and the subsequent course curriculum are especially useful insecuring employment and performing successfully in

We propose that shifting some of the focus onto the process of learning that occurswithin the student and leveraging multiple known connections from educational psychology canresult in more effective engineering education. Here we define “effective” engineering educationas that which leads to greater retention of knowledge, accelerated skills development, andenhanced motivation for life-long learning.
