students appreciate the technical, economic, and socialchallenges related to implementing new animal manure management technologies in aproduction environment that already includes an established regulatory framework.The first tool was the concept map. The goal of the project was to explore the complexinteractions of various stakeholders and agents of food animal production. Students in theundergraduate class were asked to create a concept map, in the form of a diagram, of the NorthCarolina swine industry with a focus on manure management and environmental impacts andprotections. Each of the six students in the graduate class additionally created their map from theperspective of a different stakeholder group. Students also reviewed and provided

the field will assist in defining the major for potential employers as well as current andpotential students across universities.There are many models available to guide engineering disciplines as they reshape their curricula.Morsi et al. [6] used concept mapping for curriculum development, specifically Electrical andComputer Engineering curricula. Models to evaluate the development and design ofinterdisciplinary curricula through the integration of learning modules gave students a real-worldapplication for learning outcomes [7]. There have been great strides in evaluating the curriculumof the Agricultural and Bio-based engineering programs, referred to in this work as BAengineering, as noted in recent works [2], [8], [9], [10], [11].

deliverables spread over one semester: 1. Concept map exploring connections between energy and (a.) poverty, (b.) food production, processing, and distribution, and (c.) the environment (group assignment, each group picks one of the options) 2. Preliminary documentation of clients’ needs, characteristics, and perspectives. Includes discussion board participation, interview results, on-line and in-person research (individual assignment) 3. Preliminary decision matrix memo documenting 6 different user perspectives (group assignment) 4. Jigsaw assignment where team representatives investigate different cooling technologies and report back to their teams, (e.g., Refrigeration vapor-compression system, Evaporative
