Change Management, and CharacterABSTRACTThis paper presents a comprehensive framework for transforming undergraduate engineeringeducation through the successful implementation of a 100% experiential learning curriculum atWake Forest Engineering. While extensive research demonstrates the effectiveness ofexperiential learning in engineering education, curriculum-wide implementations remain rare,with most programs restricting experiential approaches to isolated courses. To address this gap,Wake Forest Engineering (established in 2017) designed and implemented a fully experientialcurriculum to realize its distinctive mission of "Educating the Whole Engineer for HumanFlourishing." The implementation framework integrates multiple learning theories

broad perspectives and robustapproaches to anticipate the dynamic complexity of engineering design challenges of the 21stcentury. This deficiency is partly rooted in undefined or shifting boundaries around designpractices and educational responsibilities between engineering educational curriculum andindustry [1]. Many postsecondary engineering education programs do not offer four-yearsequential design courses and face challenges in developing pedagogies to assist students inlearning and establishing complex and meaningful design relationships [2], [3].Research suggests that these relationships entail expanding knowledge bases and triggeringfundamental paradigm shifts in current design methodologies [3], [4] - [9]. These findingsadvocate for

Additional responsibilities include providing business leadership for engineering technical and professional educational programs. This includes development of engineer- ing programs (Certificates and Masters) in advanced aircraft construction, composites structures, systems engineering, product lifecycle management and digital manufacturing. The educational programs and re- search focus on practical understanding of human learning and the design of technology-enhanced learn- ing environments and promoting global excellence in engineering and learning technology to develop future
curricula. To observe potential effects ofdesign education, students from two curricula at a large research-intensive state university arebeing studied. The control group is a major focused on engineering mechanics, which has atheoretical orientation that focuses on mathematical modeling based on first principles and haslittle formal design education prior to the capstone experience. The experimental group is amechanical engineering major that uses design as a context for its curriculum. In order to providea uniform basis for comparing students across projects and years, the authors use a task-independent protocol analysis method grounded in the Function-Behavior-Structure (FBS)design ontology. This paper presents results from the first-year of the

This can alsohelp inform collaborate efforts among post-secondary engineering education programs, P-12engineering education programs, and industry partners to address gaps in safety relative toengineering instruction. Introduction Safety has been a critical component of P-12 engineering education programs for decadesas evidenced by its longstanding inclusion in curriculum plans and academic standards datingback to early manual arts and industrial arts programs (which later transitioned to technologyeducation, and most recently

In lot-by-lot acceptance sampling, a predetermined number of units (a sample) are drawn from a specifiedprocurement/production quantity (lot). The sample is inspected, and the number of units withinthe sample that fail to meet inspection standards is determined. If this number of nonconformingunits is

Whitman andWitherspoon [9] investigated the use of the LEGO toolkit to engage high school students inSTEM education by modeling and studying manufacturing processes. However, they did notshow a direct co-relation between the knowledge gained and the curriculum taught in the highschool syllabus. Mataric et al. [7] described the use of robotics for experiential and hands-oneducation by providing a platform that students and teachers can use to study the hardware andsoftware designs for constructing a robot. In their paper, they addressed the cost concerns ofusing and maintaining such platforms in
