Engineering (MSOE) began a thorough reviewof its BME curriculum. The curriculum had been relatively stable for about 12 years with smallchanges made to keep the curriculum current with changes in technology. To meet the need forcontinuous improvement, the faculty undertook a redesign of the entire curriculum in an effort toincorporate new educational techniques and modern engineering concepts. Because of the time ittakes to complete a complete curricular change, as well as the time between these large changes,the faculty spent considerable time ensuring the curriculum effectively and efficiently metcurrent and perceived future needs of the program and its constituents. Most of the current andperceived future needs were determined from the Engineer of

Several courses in the mechanical and civilengineering, digital media, and technology management are requiring makerspace use this springsemester, with more planned in following semesters. Including a question about course usewould lead to assessment of whether course integration changes perception and use of the spaceand equipment.

connectedness and interdependence ofworld cultures and economies. With the Information Age, globalization went into overdrive.Advances in computer and communication technology launched a new global era and redefinedwhat it meant to be “connected” [1]. Over recent years, the engineering field, among others, haswitnessed the power of connectedness as a catalyst for breakthroughs. Often these breakthroughsresult from cultural exchanges - the process of sharing and experiencing ideas, knowledge, andpractices across different cultures [2]. Specific to engineering, the cultural exchanges create amelting pot of ideas and influences from around the world through bringing togetherprofessionals from diverse backgrounds. Yet, bringing together individuals from
