The course is 75-min long instead of 50-minutes, with a typical period broken into2 to 3 topics, rather than a single lecture for the entire period. Students go on a field trip,compete in the E-days egg drop contest as teams, and complete journals and personal papers.There is also a good range of panels to inform students about various options in the curriculum,extracurricular opportunities, and post-graduation career paths.The Mechanical Engineering (MCEN) course model is unique, with both a lecture (1 hr/wk) anda lab ~4 hrs/wk (as of Fall 2006).

This research requires the use of the Internet. Students are required to communicate with the ETHOS director and the ETHOS community during their internship via e-mail and through the use of a Quickplace site. While serving on the internship, students have limited access to modern engineering tools. In most cases, students are required to improvise by designing and building simple tools that can be used in place of some of the higher tech

In this regard, apedagogical framework known as the CIRE model – which is the acronym for Communication,Initiation, Reduction, and Extension – was recently designed and implemented in a Rigid BodyDynamics Fall semester course, which generated favorable results. In this study, the CIRE modelwas adopted for a virtual Statics-Strength of Materials summer [six-week] course to test itseffectiveness in a slightly different timeframe.

The model has served well in many respects, butstudents and professionals need ways to incorporate rapidly advancing technologies in botheducation and practice. Incorporating substantial components from the arts and humanitiesinto educational programs can help meet that need. Traditional architecture schools did not prepare architects to market their businesses.

the faculty prioritized ensuring that our students have “anability to…create a collaborative and inclusive environment” upon graduation. Our approach tointroducing DEI pedagogy was to focus on a first-year course, Grand Challenges in Engineering(GCE), and a second-year course, Engineering Mechanics: Statics (Statics). GCE is the firstfoundational design course in the program, where ABET Student Outcomes (SOs) 2-6 areintroduced. This was a natural fit for introducing DEI concepts, since they tie well with SOs 3(effective communication) and 5 (function effectively on a team). While Statics is a less obviouschoice to integrate DEI instruction, it was an opportunity to explore innovative ways toemphasize the importance of DEI in engineering in a
