Squishy circuitsare constructed with conductive and insulating play dough, allowing students to sculpt their owncircuits. Students can be taught in a hands-on exercise, using batteries and basic electroniccomponents (light emitting diodes, DC motors, etc.). This method may allow electronics andcircuit building concepts to be presented

Session 3470 Diversity: An Engineering Process Andre H. Sayles United States Military Academy West Point, NY 10996AbstractEngineers often prefer to work with processes, particularly those that allow for assumptions,inputs, and outputs. Unfortunately, engineers seldom pursue diversity management as perhaps asecondary career field. In this paper, organizational diversity is represented by an engineering-like process having three primary phases and a supporting phase. The Leading Diversity ProcessModel (LDPM) is

). New courses such as “Robotics,” “Nanotechnology,” “The Futureof Science and Technology” (including an ethics component), and a variety of courses insustainable technology and ecology have all opened up new ways of thinking aboutdesign and its applications. But the course that best exemplifies all of our educationalaims in the new science curriculum is “Nature’s Design,” the focus of this paper.Using biology as a method to teach design, engineering and/or architecture is anincreasing trend. In 2005, a paper2 written by Dennis Dollens, architect and educator atthe Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, looked at examples of incorporatingbiomimetic concepts and theory into the teaching of architecture and industrial design.
