Theywill work on one product, separating the engineering challenge into modules of various tasks indesign, manufacturing, facilities planning and business functions, each task managed by a sub-team. A case study will be presented. As a result, students not only synthesize what they havelearned but also apply what they have gained: teamwork experience, collaborative finesse,ability to comprehend the global picture of engineering, the urgency to be innovative, and thedrive to become effective leaders. The university gains a better reputation and strengthenedbonds among departments.IntroductionToday’s work environment demands that

joined together toendorse a Sustainability Greenhouse Gas Action Plan for New Jersey. In signing this“sustainability covenant,” Rowan University has pledged to reduce its greenhouse gasemissions to 3.5% below 1990 levels by 2005. We have used this agreement as the basisfor a novel collaboration between the New Jersey Higher Education Partnership forSustainability (NJHEPS) and the College of Engineering at Rowan University.We have developed a course project in which sophomore students from all engineeringdisciplines calculate CO2 emissions for the university and propose methods for furtherreducing our greenhouse gas emissions. This project has been developed for SophomoreClinic II, the 4th course in an innovative eight semester multidisciplinary

Each team receives a mobile robot, rechargeablebatteries, battery charger, tools, manuals and a locker for keeping the equipment. The cost ofcomponents per team is limited to $50. Each team makes purchases of their own to the electroniccomponent distributor. During the first two weeks, the students begin by writing a specificationrequirements, which describes what to do in the project. They also draw up a project plan whereall resources are allotted.

Experience in Building STEM PipelinesAbstract In 2007, University of Louisville School of Engineering charged the newly formed Department ofEngineering Fundamentals to develop a K-12 outreach program. The program’s goal is to increase thenumber of students interested in and capable of studying STEM fields in college. To organize, guide,and focus department outreach efforts, the department developed and implemented a plan to createSTEM pipelines in the Jefferson County Public Schools. The pipelines are currently comprised ofselected elementary and middle schools that send students to the engineering magnet high schools.
