projects integrated with the undergraduate engineering curriculum. Dr. Surupa Shaw | Texas A&M University | Higher Education Center at McAllen TX I. INTRODUCTION The undergraduate engineering curriculum forms the fundamental knowledge base for our future engineerswho would be serving the global society. It is imperative for the undergraduate engineers to get a reality checkon the utility of their classroom knowledge that would help them shape their career path and would providethem a valuable appreciation of the course content. Phylis Blumenfeld et al. [1] emphasized on the compellingargument of making projects an integral part of the learning process, as they promote student

Green Design Project Part 1: The Hybrid Powertrain ProjectAbstractSubjects that are separate in the curriculum, such as thermodynamics and mechanical design, areintegrated in practice, since thermal and mechanical systems must function cohesively in realmechanical systems (e.g. an air conditioner). With this in mind, we are beginning theimplementation of a novel, potentially transformative approach to integrating courseworkthrough five semesters of the core mechanical engineering curriculum.The centerpiece of this research is a long-term design/build/test project that will be developed bystudents over the course of five semesters. The project, a bench-scale hybrid powertrain, isimplemented in modules, so that parts of the

MAPLE in the Engineering CurriculumThe introduction of MAPLE in the first year of the engineering curriculum, as partof the Calculus course, or as part of an introductory Computer programming coursehas been discussed by the faculty of the Mathematics and Computer Science Page 3.346.1department. The discussion led to the following pressing question: “Should thelearning of MAPLE be left to the student, or should the instructor devote somelecture time to cover some of the salient features of MAPLE?” The answer to thisquestion, already difficult in previous years, became

familiar system. Our long-term vision for the full development of this project is the complete integration of afull spectrum of BME topics into the entire ECE curriculum, with additional elective courses de-signed to provide a minor or concentration in BME. If successful, this approach can then be usedfor integrating BME into other engineering disciplines within a college of engineering, whichmay then serve as the foundation of an interdepartmental undergraduate BME degree program. 3. Implementation Teaching new BME concepts primarily in a laboratory setting fits naturally to Rowan’sECE program17, the key attributes of which include the following techniques to prepare studentsfor a rapidly changing and highly competitive career market.

The concept was to offer the degree as aninterdisciplinary program with most of the required courses taken from different academic unitswithin the university, e.g. computer science and business.The interdisciplinary program would have been implemented; however, a proposal to establish anarticulated degree program was approved by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
