a model to enhance theexperiences of undergraduate engineering students, this paper presents information about a smallgroup seminar designed to expose undergraduate engineering students to a community of like-minded, well-rounded students. Within this seminar, students will engage in conversations withprofessionals, will connect with other engineering students who have succeeded in engineering,and will engage in leadership opportunities early in their academic careers. Led by anunderrepresented minority faculty in the band and orchestra department who served as a formerrecruiter for engineering students, this seminar provides a unique opportunity for students to (1)demonstrate uses of campus resources to enable academic success, (2

year, 45% of the pre-collegeparticipants were from ethnic or racial groups underrepresented in engineering professions andover 60% were women.The primary goal of SYP is to encourage participating students to become academicallyprepared so that college can be a viable option for their future. The main objectives of theprograms are to: • allow participants to explore post secondary education academic pursuit options in MEST • offer career discovery in a hands-on/minds-on environment • provide access to technology, laboratory resources, expertise, and academic experiences not normally available to middle and high school students • help students feel comfortable in a university setting • encourage student interactions with peers

This program encourages student to interpret knowledge from different disciplines andrequires interaction with the world in a different cultural perspective. This project will initiallybe implemented in the Engineering Clinic sequence in the College of Engineering at Rowan, andthen disseminated in various forms to other disciplines.ConclusionsAt Rowan University, the importance of sustainable design practices and design is understood tobe critical in the education of engineers. To achieve this objective, several courses have beendeveloped that integrate sustainable design practices

With this in mind, I attended an Ethics Across the Curriculum Workshop1 in August2002 to learn how to incorporate ethics into engineering science courses. I was scheduled toteach “Automatic Control Systems” in Fall 2002, so I decided to use this course as a test bed forinserting ethics discussions into a technical engineering class.

To help the engineering students to developthe “go green” mindset and put this term into action, one direct method is to put this “green” requirementinto engineering students’ design classes and make it a required element

A significant proportion of incomingBME Masters students intend to use our BME program as a vehicle to enhance their preparationfor future careers as data scientists in the biomedical industry. With this target group in mind,this course has no prerequisite and a paramount goal of this course is to provide students anappreciation of knowing the “why” and not just the “how” in biomedical data analytics.

Engineering “habits of mind” align withessential skills for citizens in the 21st century. This “habits of mind” could essentially benefit theproblem solving skills of all people for reaching innovative solutions to various challenges. Engineering design process is mostly taught to engineering students during their senior yearcapstone design course after students have acquired relevant knowledge for the design. Thus, thephase of gathering knowledge is mostly carried out in a passive instructor-centered learningmodel.
