DfS Guidelines15.Alternatives to Incorporate Design for Safety into Engineering CurriculaTo those experienced with the introduction of new topics or courses into established engineeringcurricula, there are five obvious alternatives to increase the DfS knowledge of degreed engineers: A. In all engineering courses, safety hazards could be identified as the subject matter progresses, and could be noted to the students (with options for elimination/reduction) B. In all engineering design courses, only C. In all senior capstone design courses, as a criterion each design team must address in data collection, analysis, creation of alternatives, and evaluation of alternatives D. In a course on safety engineering E. In a course on

A key characteristic of a good interviewer is the ability to keep the interview ontrack, however, the interviewee should also take an active role in keeping focus on expert moves.I selected two interviewers from the faculty at NAU with whom I had personally worked duringa Decoding the Disciplines workshop who met the above criteria. I chose Dr. B. because, as ageologist, she is familiar with the concepts underlying the bottleneck, yet in her discipline theseconcepts are treated on a global scale. I chose Dr. K. because I was impressed with her ability tokeep a Decoding interview focused. Her discipline of comparative cultural studies puts her at agood distance from engineering mechanics, yet I was confident that

Page 23.491.2Several engineering programs engage in community through service learning. These programsfollow a structured format in developing community service. Barrington and Duffy summarizewhat service learning is through definition: There have been many definitions for service-learning in the literature over the years[e.g., (Jacoby, 1996), (Bringle, Hatcher, & Games, 1997), (Stanton, Giles, & Cruz, 1999), (Learnand Serve America, 2009). One of the earliest definitions is still widely accepted andcomprehensive: Service-learning is a “a course based, credit-bearing, educational experience inwhich students (a) participate in an organized service activity that meets identified communityneeds and (b) reflect on the service

(MBT) approach 44. Thus, we decided to use the MBT design forthe purposes of this study.The MBT design, depicted as Figure 2, is a series of longitudinal before and after A-B studiesthat is replicated across experimental units (individuals or a group of individuals) within a singlestudy. The intervention is introduced on a staggered basis to each experimental unit. Hence,while one group or subject receives the treatment, the other units perform the role of a controlgroup. Also, the group’s performance in the pre-intervention phase provides an additional controlfor the post-intervention phase and for benchmarking purposes. Hence, if a change is shown tooccur only and if only the intervention is introduces, the researcher can infer causality

For example, students learnedthat improving the materials of roof, and HVAC is the most desired way to achieve highenergy efficiency. Also they learned that building energy efficiency is most affected byclimate factors such as HDD (heating degree days) and CDD (cooling degree days).REFERENCE1. buildingSMARTalliance (2007), “National BIM Standard 2007”, http://www.buildingsmartalliance.org2.
