@MissouriState.edu c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 A Systematic Weighted Factor Approach for Curriculum DesignAbstractCurriculum revision and course design efforts are typically started partly as a result ofconstituent input, such as that from industrial advisory boards, potential employers of graduates,recent employers of graduates, and alumni. This process is often performed on an ad-hoc basiswith various constituents who express conflicting opinions. This study offers a more formalizedapproach to the decision making process applied to curriculum revision by using a weightedfactor index method to remove much of the subjectivity. Starting with an existing program, anew program is developed and the

affective outcomes related tosustainable engineering. This project was aimed at beginning to fill this gap.Research QuestionsThis research explored the following questions: (1) At the beginning of the courses, to what extent did students vary in their motivation toward sustainable engineering, appreciation for interdisciplinary skills, consideration of others in the context of engineering, and interest in global work? a. Were there differences between institutions? b. Were there differences between the students enrolled in different courses at the same institution? (2) Did student attitudes on these issues change over the course of a semester when taking courses that included

Participants werejuniors in mechanical engineering at a large Mid-Atlantic university, and the experiment tookplace in the latter half of the semester, when students began to build and test prototypes. Twosamples are reported in this work: (1) Sample A is composed of 30 students from theexperimental classroom, and (2) Sample B is composed of 60 students from two control classes.Data from Sample A were collected at four
