mechanicalengineering majors, and junior entrepreneurship majors. The students were all chosen by thefaculty based on their high competence in their respective major, creative spark, work ethic, andthe ability to work in teams. Thus, the students were uniformly good to excellent.We used these criteria for selecting students for several reasons. Firstly, we did not want tospend time on material that was domain specific (there was an exception to this, as noted later),and we wanted students who could complete reasonable tasks in their discipline. Secondly, wewanted to concentrate on design in the context of product development to encourage creative,entrepreneurial thinking. This is possible only when students have acquired reasonablecompetence in their field of

The goal of this program is to support active research participation by undergraduate studentswith the long-term goal of encouraging more students to pursue advanced degrees and to increase participation ofgroups traditionally underrepresented in science and engineering. One key attribute of such a program is that theREU projects must involve students in meaningful ways – i.e. the undergraduates may not be simply lab technicians.It is viewed favorably if the REU Sites include professional development training including ethics. Also, involvingparticipants from diverse schools across the country (especially those from primarily undergraduate institutions) aswell as inclusion of an

The first lecture cluster focuses on team dynamics such as teambuilding activities, project management, proper communication techniques, and leadership. Next,students learn how to properly procure materials and equipment, and review general ethics.Finally, the classroom introduction of professional skills can be practiced and utilized in theteam-based laboratory experiments and projects.To reinforce the learning concepts, periodic multi-week homework assignments have beenassigned for completion by student teams

To alleviatecongestion in the fabrication facility, the four sections of the course were staggered with twosections completing prototype production while the other two sections attended three formallessons on engineering economics, ethics, and project management, respectively. The sectionswould then reverse roles such that each student had approximately one week to complete thefabrication process. Student feedback indicated that while this was sufficient time to build theprototype, it did not allow enough opportunity to complete finishing details. Subsequentiterations of this syllabus will provide an additional design studio lesson to address this concern

Technological sustainability mainlydeals with technological and ethical issues; ecological sustainability is considered an effort thataffects all aspects of a culture. In order to adequately prepare us for the future, Orr envisions adramatic shift in the existing pedagogies of all educational programs—a shift toward an earth-centered education.
