To prepare for the event with the 5th gradestudents, there was in class discussion and assignments that guided the engineering students toconsider the importance of customer input in the design of a product. This included the design Page 25.707.3process introduced by IDEO, international design firm and innovator, for the redesign of ashopping cart1 which highlights the importance of understanding and meeting customer needs.The goal of this design project for the engineering students was to design and build a robotic petthat both looked and behaved like the type of pet they determined was

. Very few large Mechanical Engineering Departments currentlyoffer some energy related courses in their Mechanical Engineering curriculum for those studentsinterested in entering the HVAC profession.However, today’s modern building technology encompasses a wide range of disciplines, andintegrates the latest engineering technology in design, energy conservation, and energymanagement. Current computer technology (such as advanced building simulation software, anddirect digital control systems) offer the ability to operate facility systems more effectively.Because there is a large demand for college trained professionals in the energy efficiencyprofession, energy educators must develop an academic program capable of meeting the challengeof

education will experience transient lives on the surface of engineeringcurricula or be successful in digging down deep into the heart of long-established courses,pedagogical strategies, and curricular structures. Largely stable at least since Sputnik, science-based engineering curricula in the United States have long resisted successfully reformmovements for curricular change. A principal means has been to locate reforms and changes onor around the boundaries of existing material and courses. The boundaries shift somewhat whilethe core pedagogy of mathematical problem solving has remained largely unchallenged and,hence, untouched.III. Reaching out to science and technology studies?Meanwhile humanities and social science courses have remained in
Science and Information Technologies, and Applied Sciences. Inthis contribution, we report an overview of student satisfaction toward achieving the course'sspecific objectives, the students' perception of the importance of each avenue, and theirperceptions of difficulty and time demands. We surveyed 1,499 students enrolled in programs inall four avenues of the School of Engineering and Sciences after completing the introductorycourse. The overall results of the survey showed a high level of student satisfaction. The studentsperceived that the course effectively conveyed the avenue contents and how the educationalmodel works to develop and assess competencies. They valued having explored the differentavenues of the school. The results also

Finally, elements of the curriculum that are essentially 100% engineering or 100% businesswere designed by one professor from the appropriate discipline and are taught by that oneprofessor, since an integrated learning experience was unnecessary.The program accepted its first group of students in the summer of 2001, and offered only onetrack entitled Technology Entrepreneurship.
