reliance on cloud computing and big data will continuously increase, andnew data-centric technologies and engineering approaches will be developed. Due to this rapidlydeveloping field, there is a need to track these trends and incorporate the corresponding developments intoour current science and engineering curriculum. Besides data science skills already taught in traditionalengineering curricula, such as mathematical, computational, and statistical foundations, the NationalAcademies guide discusses that key concepts in developing data acumen include domain-specificconsiderations and ethical problem-solving. This work-in-progress (WIP) paper will highlight the foundation of a comprehensive study toexplore data science education in two

Factors impactinginstitutionalization of STEP at Western Michigan University and sustainability of the programwhen NSF funding ends will be described in this paper. The second-year retention rate and 6-year graduation rate are also discussed.IntroductionThe College of Engineering and Applied Sciences (CEAS), Western Michigan University(WMU), offers nine EAC-ABET accredited undergraduate engineering programs, three ETAC-ABET accredited undergraduate engineering technology programs, an undergraduate computerscience program that is accredited by CAC-ABET, and an

course’sdirection and are very supportive of the efforts being made.Course ContentThe course content is divided into six modules, described here in chronological order. Module 1: Unified Life Cycle EngineeringA common complaint of engineering undergraduates is that they lack the breadth to see theimpact of engineering and design on a company’s business and society in general. The courseaddresses this competency gap by first showing students how design fits into the overall lifecycle of a technology, product and process, and how these three cycles are in turn involved in asingle unified life cycle for product development, design and production. This view helpsstudents identify the impact their decisions will have on the business

Finally, we suggest aspects of our approach thatmay be useful in more traditional BME curricula.Introduction:In the United States, accreditation is a non-governmental, peer-review process that is designed toassure the quality of higher education programs. The Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology, Inc. (ABET) is the organization responsible for monitoring, evaluating andcertifying the quality of engineering, engineering technology and engineering-related highereducation programs in the United States1. In 2000, new outcomes-based criteria wereestablished called EC2000 or EC. As a condition for accreditation, which is entirely voluntary

Much of this activity is concentrated in the metropolitanMinneapolis/St. Paul area. Education in the common elements of the medical device businesstended to be available only through “on the job” training. With the prominence of this industryin the region, and the promising future for medical technologies with an aging population andnew scientific discoveries, it is critical to provide continuing education to constantly update theskilled workforce needed to grow this industry.The University of St. Thomas School of Engineering identified the need for an additional sourceof

-line Testing SystemImproving engineering education has become a major concern for universities. There is a need tochange the engineering curriculum and create courses that will give future workforce engineersthe skills that manufacturing companies are searching for. One of the concepts that are trying tobe utilized is creating online courses1, 2 ; for the objective presented here the online technology isused but with a different approach than just a regular online course. In this paper, the idea is toexplain, implement, and further enhance engineering education with a different program for theIndustrial, Manufacturing and Systems Engineering department and the Mechanical EngineeringDepartment at the University of Texas at El Paso.

from the traditional productdevelopment process, which focuses on optimized designs for individual products. Productfamily planning places a much higher demand on management of information of multiple typesand from multiple sources. In response, researchers at four universities are collaborating on thedevelopment of an information technology infrastructure to support product platform planning.This is a relatively new development in engineering design that is typically not part of theundergraduate education; therefore, we see an intrinsic relationship between the need forintegrating the development of research directly with educational enhancements to teach studentsabout these concepts.

digital signalprocessing are noticeably absent in engineering technology programs. A recent look at ABETaccredited electrical/electronics engineering technology programs [1] showed that only 6 of the 66programs accessed offered DSP as a required course in the curriculum. Another nine programsoffered DSP as a technical elective and the remaining 51 did not offer DSP to their students at all.As DSP becomes more pervasive in industrial applications, it is imperative that engineeringtechnology graduates have some exposure to digital signal processing theory and practice. Themain difficulty in teaching DSP to technology students is the level of mathematics. Studentsopening a textbook on digital signal processing [2] – [4] are faced with pages and
