course.Over the last several years the experiment kits have been developed, constructed, tested andrefined. These kits require only a computer, a power outlet and a bucket of water (andsometimes some paper towels) in order to be used. They are modular kits using a LEGO® RCXbrick as the interface to the computer, LEGO bricks for structural components, both Lego andcustom sensors, and modular pipes and tanks where students can actually assemble the processand the controls system. These kits are capable of multiple experiments from simple dynamicsof a sensor through cascade and multi-variable control. They can also be used for studentprojects.Multiple assessments have been used to evaluate and refine the modular kits and the multimodalapproach of this

For each issue, astudent would use one persona’s perspective, thinking as Aristotle about one issue and asBuddha about another. In Phase III, each student would write a paper for submission to aprofessional journal or conference.Once trained, tutors would be assigned as ethics consultants to undergraduate engineeringdesign teams. At Drexel, there are freshman and senior design projects. The tutors wouldwork with those teams on matters of ethical concern. Eventually, we hope to expand thisprogram to other disciplines within the curriculum.Introduction Recently, a

research to communities beyond the laboratory and address the work’s possible“Broader Impacts” to society. NSF CAREER awards and many of the NSF Research Centergrant solicitations are even more explicit, requiring that grantees craft educational initiatives thatare based in best practices, bring the academic research to the broader community, and positivelyimpact the pipeline of students pursuing science, technology, engineering and mathematics(STEM) education and careers. For new faculty, and even veteran faculty, these requirementsfor creative educational initiatives that significantly affect a community outside the confines ofthe laboratory can be very daunting.
