progressed in steps over timeto where we are today. Perhaps even early technologies were misunderstood by the people of thetime and today’s lack of understanding is just a continuance of that tendency. This may even bethe case for today’s engineering students. For the most part, current technologies are included inthe engineering and engineering technology curriculum. However, technologies from the past arenot. To remedy the situation, a project was initiated to enhance the engineering student’sknowledge of how past technologies were developed. The objective was to improve theirawareness of technology’s historical heritage and foundation. In order to accomplish this anactive learning hands-on component was added to a traditional lecture based course

The research and teaching interests of Dr. Nagel tend to revolve around engineering design and engineering design education, and in particular, the design
education. The theory of planned behavior suggests that careergoal attainment is often strengthened by perceived behavioral control [10]. By providing anhonors curriculum that develops academic and professional competence, students may be morelikely to persist in their efforts to succeed in engineering and science majors. Secondly, situatedlearning in communities of practice provides a context for socially constructed learning thatoccurs through sustained collaboration [11]. Young women participating in a network oflikeminded individuals have been shown to strengthen agency and STEM identity as theybecome socialized in their undergraduate majors [12]. CEAS and the WISE Honors Programleveraged these two theories to create a rigorous curriculum for

Thecourse presents a variety of topics that attempt to integrate perspectives from multipledisciplines, which is a common charge for many core curricula. An increase in the diversity (byacademic discipline) of students enrolled in the course would also likely help to better integratethe course perspectives. As such, the next challenge in course development may be to take thecourse to a broader audience to see if results similar to those described in this paper can beachieved.Another possible area of study for the course outcomes is to break the students down by

-methods approaches [11-13]. Preliminary results indicate that negative impacts of hiddencurriculum may affect engineering students’ self-efficacy, which is valuable for overcomingchallenges and taking control in their education, and self-advocacy, which can impair students’empowerment to work against the adverse affects of hidden curriculum. As a result,“interventions developed around HC (hidden curriculum) should equip engineering faculty andstudents to first recognize HC, analyze the potential internal and external influences, andmotivate them to identify appropriate self-advocacy approaches” [11, pp. 9].The hidden curriculum mechanisms identified by Villanueva and colleagues are especiallyrelevant to the study of ESI.

leverages existing strengths of the Mechanical Engineering(ME) curriculum in analysis, fabrication, and design of (larger-scale) devices by integratingnovel developments and unique challenges in nanodevices into the ME curriculum. It is noted that educational efforts in nanodevices have become important as nanotechnolo-gies move from research laboratories into industries. For example, nanodevices are critical torenewable energy and next-generation electronics. Additionally, nanodevices have applicationsin biotechnologies, e.g., in the development of sensors for early detection and prevention ofdisease. The proposed NUE program will integrate issues in the engineering of nanodevicesinto the undergraduate curriculum to prepare the engineering

curriculum of many engineering programs within North Americahas been adapting to this approach within the past few years.This improves retention rate in engineering programs because it develops anticipation for theengineering profession and pride in the projects that students work on 3. Moreover, there are alsoprograms where engineering students are exposed to international projects. This allows studentsto gain experience and learn about different cultures. As the global economy, engineering, andbusiness demographics shift to be more distributed towards the rest of the world rather thanbeing centralized in the west, engineers are now faced with the challenge of solving technicalproblems within a ‘flattened world’ and such immersions become vital
fundamentalto all engineering activities. Overall, this program requires thirty weeks of instruction inengineering ethics (10 weeks – Evaluation and Presentation of Data EPED 231, 10 weeks –Evaluation and Presentation of Data EPED 232, and 10 weeks - PHIL 315 Engineering Ethics).This provides the opportunity to develop a curriculum in engineering ethics with a breadth oftopics and a depth of analysis missing in most other engineering schools’ curricula.The selection of this model grew primarily from challenges that the engineering program atDrexel faced as a result of its mandatory cooperative education (“co-op”) programs. Studentswho returned to school from co-op assignments, their employers, and school officials involvedwith co-op, have alerted the
design courses in ourET program. There is a well-documented demand and need in offering program study, coursesand training in the areas of renewable energy21-23. Future engineers must be taught to be creative,flexible and imaginative. There should be meticulous attention given to team work and on thechallenges of sustainable development, including cultural, economic, environment and socialimperatives. Future engineering curriculum should be built around developing and increasingskills and technical knowledge. The topic of alternative energy is not only relevant to amultitude of issues today, it is also an effective vehicle for developing instruction that appliesacross a variety of content disciplines and academic standards.
