requirements andeconomic considerations. On the other hand, ABET asks that student design experiences includemany other "realistic" constraints, such as safety, reliability, aesthetics, ethics, and social impact.Although reliability and economics are often issues in competition designs, in terms of the overalleducational experience of the design project, competition-oriented designs are probably less richthan tackling a problem in the "real world," especially a project for a client who is outside ofacademia. This represents a weakness of design competitions.3. Although design competitions produce contrived problems rather than real ones, the richnessof realistic constraints that is missing is often offset by a richness in technical challenge. Well

Innovative hands-on experiments in the various fields ofengineering with state of the art technology were used to spark the participants’ interest inengineering. Experiments required collaborative learning through teamwork. The programconsisted of a two-week on-campus session at Rowan University wherein students interactedwith departmental faculty, undergraduate engineering students and representatives from localindustry. The workshop also experiments, field trips, workshops on engineering ethics,professionalism, gender sensitivity and computer training sessions. The impact of the workshopwas very encouraging and positive. Such

During the lecture, the various topicsnoted above are discussed. This aspect of the course could be included in any of the formats. Thecore of the course is in the three mini-projects that are assigned through the course. Each projectties together two or more aspects of mechanical engineering to give the students the sense of howthese various fields that were taught in separate courses are interrelated and interdependent.

engineering programs demonstrate that theirgraduates have fundamental knowledge and know how to apply it working in teams whileconsidering the ethical and societal context of their designs. Student teams competing incontests develop not only technical skills, but also communication and teaming skills. Typically,student teams must seek donations of components, supplies, equipment, and money thusdeveloping presentation and sales skills. Vehicle competitions, such as Sunrayce, Formula SAEMini-Indy, and SAE Mini-Baja, have a strong emphasis on safety leading students to understandtheir designs in terms of a broader context. All contests have rules. This forces students toconsider their interpretation. (Is it ethical during a solar car race to purposely

Who deserved credit for the discovery of the structure of DNA? How were the great pyramids constructed? Has there been an overreaction to the presence of asbestos in schools?

Asignificant effort is expected on the part of each student, not only the team. Each student is heldindividually accountable by constant questioning during all aspects of the lecture and labsessions, by submitting a final report describing the fabrication of the device wafers, and bytaking a final examination. A World Wide Web page for the “company” is in the process ofbeing created which contains an introduction to the course and a portion of the “EmployeeHandbook.” The web page fits in with the company atmosphere, helps to disseminate theteaching technique, and acts as a reference source via the computer in the fabrication lab

The course fulfills two of Sweet Briar’s general education requirements: (i)Appreciate and apply ethical reasoning and (ii) Understand how economic, political, and legalsystems shape the modern world. As a result, a percentage of the course is made up ofhumanities and business majors. While it is fairly common for engineering departments to offercourses for majors in non-technical fields, the goal of these courses is usually to increase the“technical literacy” of these non-majors.4 This is a secondary benefit of our course, however ourprimary goal in bringing non-majors into a required engineering course is to expand thediscussion of the relationship
