In particular, we examine student response to the large, open-ended design projectand the effects that the project had on student engagement. We then draw conclusions as tohow original design and fabrication project work could be more effectively integrated into thiscourse.IntroductionThe College of Engineering and Technology at Western Carolina University offers degreeprograms in engineering and engineering technology with concentrations in mechanical,electrical, and power systems engineering.

Therefore, curriculum development is not asimple process which could be accomplished without the collaboration of several stakeholders,and it is a complex and iterative process with a significant number of activities that comprise manystakeholders. The curriculum is dynamic; it undergoes frequent and almost continuousdevelopment, coordinating new policies and demands with additional information about what istaught and how. Matkovic et al.

Approach to Empathetic Electrical Engineering CoursesAbstractBackgroundThe ability to empathize provides the basis to understand others, an often-overlookedprofessional skill in engineering curriculums. Studies have shown that engineering students haveless empathy after completing their degree than when they had entered. Having low amounts ofempathy in engineers can result in less concern for public welfare and social considerationsduring the engineering design process.PurposeIn this work, we consider when engineering students are entering an empathetic cycle. Moststudies develop a model based on an educators’ perspective and how empathy is a teachable andlearnable skill. This study examines how engineering students can

Is there a reason—apart from appeal to tradition—to continue toemphasize these six engineering sciences in mechanical engineering? Furthermore, whatelements of ME professional practice are not given their due in ME education?To truly design a mechanical engineering curriculum requires consideration of evidence of whatmechanical engineers do and how to prepare people to do those things.

A number of studies have documented the use of such techniquesin redesigning their curriculum in various fields, from operating like a small company (Säisä,2017) undergraduate design projects (Takemata, 2013), a course in electronics (Svensson, 2012)and systems engineering (Hsu, 2007). The most relevant aspect of the CDIO approach in the context of our course curriculumredesign is that it has been shown to be successful in fostering long term retention of fundamentalengineering concepts taught in the classroom.

In two sections, students attended a traditional class format(51 students) while another section (15 students) implemented the Peer Instructionmethodology. The research question driving this project was whether Peer Instructionwould produce significantly higher learning gains than the traditional blackboard and chalkapproach.
