enabled him to utilize many of theExCEEd tools and apply them directly to the development of his courses within theBioengineering curriculum. It is recognized that many individuals may have already spentsignificant amounts of time developing their courses, therefore in addition to describing whatwas done to develop the course using the ExCEEd method, the authors will also describescenarios as to how one may be able to adopt aspects of the ExCEEd method and apply them intheir own classrooms. By no means are we suggesting this is the only way to teach, nor are wesaying that this is the best way to teach. Our hope is for educators to reevaluate their teachingmethodologies and determine what is best not only for them to be effective communicators
identified as cross-disciplinary; for example, sensors content could be augmented with networking topics that aretypically in computer science. Other knowledge was an extension or a special application ofexisting topics; for example, in computer science, using cloud services to create the backend fora system that can receive and respond to requests from connected devices. Both types ofsupplemental knowledge can be readily introduced by building on existing courses and“extending” course topics when they naturally connect with the new IoT-related material. Thispedagogical approach can alleviate some of the challenges of incorporating new,interdisciplinary content into the curriculum. For one, fully cross-disciplinary courses can havedaunting logistics

Most courses have atechnical subject (mechanical, electrical, surveying, etc.) recommendation, but these are on acase by case basis. The other ETAC of ABET curriculum requirements listed could be argued asbeing met by warrant officer military training and experiences, but in most cases, the coursesappear to be better suited to a Business Administration degree than an Engineering Technologydegree since they relate more heavily to management and supervision.

Can ABET Professional Skills Stimulate Curriculum Changes That Aid in Student Recruitment? Larry N. Bland John Brown UniversityIntroduction In November 1996, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)board of directors approved one of the most significant changes to accreditation of engineeringprograms in modern times. Previous accreditation requirements had been a very rigid set of rulesfrom almost thirty pages of detailed requirements that covered course requirements, credits anddistribution, faculty staffing, and laboratory facilities.

The overarching goal of the engineeringeducation program was to foster creativity, innovation, collaboration, student-centeredlearning, problem-based learning, and hybrid approaches. This was reflected in the diversearray of faculty members, representing various fields including computer engineering,biomedical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, humanities and social sciences,industrial engineering, and business administration. Since its inception, the new engineering department's identity has been a contentiousissue, particularly in relation to existing engineering disciplines and in relation to

modeling tools (computer-aided design and finite element analysis) toanalyze design changes. Students fabricated prototypes and performed mechanical testing toassess model accuracy. In the junior year, students in an implantable materials course wereassigned a spectrophotometer design project, which emphasized verification and validationtesting in the design process. Teams designed, built, and verified accurate absorbance readingsfor their spectrophotometer designs. Additionally, students interfaced their spectrophotometersvia LabVIEW and validated their devices by using them to perform a team-chosen application.The overarching goal of vertically integrating design in a BME curriculum is to prepareundergraduates to approach complex engineering

Paper # 1939 • Session 3225 (Educational Research and Methods) Using 3D CAD as a tool to integrate topics across the curriculum W. K. Szaroletta, B. A. Harding, M. M. Tomovic Purdue UniversityAbstractToo often CAD is taught as a subject or addressed in isolated assignments among perhapsseveral courses in a degree program. However it appears to be rarely used as a trulyintegrated design and documentation tool crossing diverse specialty disciplines within adegree program. This paper discusses how various faculty are introducing CAD as aunifying tool applicable for a variety of
technicalelective courses for the student’s concentration. The disciplinary design courses do, however, Page 4.513.2contain some required core topics that are required of all students and these topics are covered ina modular approach, for example integrated product and process design.The threads on communications, use of computers and social, ethical and moral issues are alsoenhanced in the Design Spine compared to the previous curriculum. A new thread on industrialecology (e.g. life cycle analysis and design for environment) is added to address what willincreasingly become an overarching consideration in the engineering profession, namelysustainable growth
addition of Environmental Law and Regulations as a required class. Othersuggestions included course work in general areas of civil engineering, computer design/modeling,and business and management, and more discipline-specific areas such as site assessment,HAZWOPER training, and geology.Approximately 33% of the respondents have obtained or are in the process of obtaining graduatedegrees. Most of the advanced degrees are Masters of Science in Environmental Engineering, butsome graduates have pursued advanced degrees in other disciplines such as mechanicalengineering, chemical engineering, nuclear engineering, environmental management, etc. Withone exception, the continuing graduates felt the undergraduate curriculum at NMT prepared themwell for
