c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Engineering Pathways and Integrated STEM for P-12 Teacher PreparationWhen the preparation of the next generation of STEM teachers is discussed in education circles,few think of teachers earning an engineering degree as a pathway to entering the teachingprofession. Teachers prepared with an engineering degree are well equipped to help younglearners “connect the STEM dots” through design, problem solving, experimentation, making,and understanding the balance between the designed and natural world in which they live. STEMlearning is often abstract and STEM subjects are too often taught in isolation without referenceand meaningful connections. This NSF-IUSE project broadens the STEM

This approach was chosenin reforming the tooling design and measurement course for manufacturing engineeringtechnology (MNET) students at the South Dakota State University (SDSU).Subjects in the course include jigs, fixtures, molds, tools and dies in various productionsettings, material selection, precision machining, manufacturing inspection equipment andtechniques, dimensional metrology and geometric conformance.

This paper describes a new green engineering designcourse developed at California State University, Chico, which provides students with asustainability framework to approach engineering problems considering the triple bottom (i.e.,economic, social, environmental issues). Through a group project, students applied quantitativeenvironmental and economic assessment tools (i.e., life cycle assessment software and life cyclecost analysis), decision-making strategies, and sensitivity analysis tools to evaluate real-worldproblems. Students’ (n=86) abilities to understand and apply key concepts in the course wereevaluated by examining overall performance in the class and performance on group projects. Themajority of students

In the process, cooling water ispumped from a river, through a condenser on a distillation column, and then to a cooling tower.The students' job is to select the most cost-effective pump and piping for this flow system. Thisproject involves teamwork, decision-making, and the use of spreadsheets, and along the way thestudents gain a little knowledge about economics. The students also begin to take a broader viewof design. Rather than focusing solely on the pump, they realize that the presence of processelements upstream and downstream from
