believed that the sensors would, in at least some cases,provide educational benefit, it was not ethical to use a study design that systematically deprived agroup of students of this benefit—the Non-Sensor/Non-Sensor group would not be exposed tothe sensors in either of the labs). Further investigation indicated that a crossover design would bea possible solution to the problem. [3] This design allows all students the opportunity to use thesensors the laboratory.Crossover Design with BlockingCrossover designs allow each participant to be exposed to all “treatments” in our case thepresence or absence of the use of sensors as a data collection agent.

However, this course adds aunique element in an attempt to counteract several evolving trends in the ME profession.As globalization moves through American industry, fewer companies have domesticmanufacturing facilities where young engineers are exposed to a range of traditional productionprocesses during a period of onsite practice. Too often, these young engineers will not havementoring from experienced engineers, designers, and machinists who possess vast knowledgeof these processes and their impact on design. In addition, the students who come to college tostudy engineering now typically possess few of the traditional fabrication skills learned in

formal designprocess involving analysis, simulation, synthesis, construction, testing, and demonstration of aworking prototype.The course itself helps guide the students through the design process. Students are not “taught”how to do their designs, but rather learn about the process of design and the many ancillaryissues to which designers must attend: economics, schedules, teamwork, brainstorming, ethics,aesthetics, and more. They develop a sense of how to make tradeoffs between cost, quality, andschedule, and the role of quality, reliability, and manufacturability in design. They becomefamiliar with issues related to intellectual property and patents, regulations and standards, andthe manner in which large and small engineering design

ourprograms.ConclusionEducators, parents, and students enthusiastically receive all the programs. It is difficult to pickout which one of the programs has been the most effective. In the opinion of the authors, it is thehands-on experiences. Providing hands-on experiences in the classroom and at home are veryimportant to students’ growth as they begin to think about their career options. Our advice toother universities and schools are to start some of these programs as early as elementary school.Since the creation of outreach within PrE-IOP at NJIT, there have been over fifty school visits.Every school visited has asked the outreach component back for repeat visits in future years.While there still exists an initial gender and ethic bias against pursing engineering as a

component.Including material on ethics and the social context of engineering in first year design courses hasbeen done before (see, for example, Dym2) but rarely are these issues presented as constraintsthat, when appropriately considered, will lead to better engineering design. Much engineeringdesign now, however, is subject to scrutiny by a wide variety of stakeholders, technical andotherwise. The lecture component of Part 2, then, was designed to specifically present materialon human factors, economics, preventative engineering, life cycle assessment, and industrialecology. The concepts developed by Vanderburg3 and used as the basis for his first year courseinformed a basic tenet of Part 2 – that identifying and addressing key social and environmental

to address industry’s current needs, the administrators of Kettering University surveyedits Industrial Advisory Board to gain an understanding of the qualities necessary for successfulgraduating engineers. Graduating engineers not only need to understand technologydevelopments involving electrical, computer and mechanical systems, and appropriatemanufacturing processes, industries need ethical engineers who have working knowledge of multi-disciplinary topics and can communicate this knowledge effectively.With this in mind, Kettering University embarked on a curriculum reform journey. The GOAL isto reduce redundancy and provide an effective but LEAN education for the students. Theconcept of integration is first established. The curriculum

IntroductionHumanities instruction for engineering technology students at the Oregon Institute of Technology(OIT) has in general been similar to that offered at most other engineering technology schools: aset of separate courses not integrated into the curriculum as a whole. While OIT, much like otherengineering technology schools, offers a number of courses in the history of technology, Science,Technology and Society (STS), and professional ethics, these are not part of the requiredcurriculum and are not linked with technical courses.For some time we have been dissatisfied with this state of affairs. Recently, we have been inspiredby the outcomes-based structure of the ABET 2000 accreditation criteria to

Faculty contacts in the community can play a role inthis prospecting and identification process. Religious groups, sports clubs, and other affiliationsare all potential sources. Reaching out to local middle school or high school teachers,counselors, or principals can also lead to potential customers.Selecting a Student Team: The number one criterion in selection of students is their commitmentto the project and their work ethic.
