The activities varyfrom viewing animations to interacting with programs, to working with interactive Excelspreadsheets. The activities are meant to supplement actual laboratory experiences that normallyoccur in engineering curricula.Greenfield Coalition Curriculum ApproachTo implement the concepts of experiential learning and allow students to more easily acquirecore competencies, Greenfield Coalition developed a unique approach to design coursematerials.

authors have begun a multi-year research programto assess a specific area of basic science education, general chemistry, within an environmentalengineering education. Chemistry was selected as an area of investigation because of itsrepetitive application within the environmental engineering curriculum and, as such, provides abasic science topic that should be reasonably well understood by all environmental engineeringundergraduates. A cohort of 12 seniors majoring in an ABET accredited environmentalengineering program at the United States Military Academy were interviewed a few monthsbefore graduation on selected chemistry topics. Each student was presented with five questions(Table 1) and asked to work the problems on a blackboard, explaining to

But since the teaching of engineering knowledge and skills takes up much time, anindustrial placement abroad and/or graduating abroad was chosen, in addition to the regularteaching.

perceptions are problematic becausein the lower grades, students do not see the connection of science and math to engineering anddo not develop these skills. In the middle grade, students find math and science difficult andstop taking these classes. In the upper grades, they desire to be an engineer but see it as animpossible task. These perceptions were reinforced when the students were asked to describeengineering students. While the answers were diverse, they seperated into too broad categories,the study of engineering and personality. Comments related to the study of engineeringincluded: “curriculum is hard”, “too many math classes”, “always glued to computers”, “verystructured – no room to accommodate other interests”.

However, it is challenging to instruct students on these inherently drytopics, particularly in the absence of practical applications.Recognizing that expertise in any of these areas is an impractical goal for undergraduatestudents, BME programs have implemented several different approaches to provide a workingknowledge of these topics to equip graduates for work in the medical device industry.
