In a previous paper we discussed in detail our concept ofecological engineering, its potential scope of application, and a broad outline of an undergraduatecurriculum (Bergen et al., 1997a). In this paper we present a specific curriculum designed as atrack in a proposed natural resources engineering degree program.We believe ecological engineering is a distinct discipline with ecology as its fundamental sciencebase. Students will learn to practice design with an appreciation for the relationship of organisms(including humans) with their environment and the constraints on design imposed by thecomplexity, variability and uncertainty inherent to

Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory UniversityAbstractABET’s Criterion 3 requires engineering programs to demonstrate that its graduates possess anumber of “soft” skills related to the practice of engineering. These include skills related toteamwork, communications, professionalism, ethics, life-long learning, impact of engineeringsolutions, and knowledge of contemporary issues. Too often programs seek to satisfy thiscriterion through what might be called an “inoculation” approach, i.e. giving students a dose ofethics

(ABET). In a project-based learning environment where students are highly motivated, professionalism can be easilyintegrated into the curriculum. Iron Range Engineering, a newly established project-basedprogram, has given considerable attention to professionalism and has incorporatedprofessionalism in the curriculum as a course series. In this paper, we discuss the Iron RangeEngineering program, professionalism activities, ABET outcomes associated withprofessionalism and the integration of professionalism in the curriculum.1- IntroductionSince the publication of Engineer 20201 (and before) and the modification on accreditationcriteria made by ABET, professionalism has been an important subject in the engineeringeducation2,3.

Contextualizing professional developmentoutcomes by integrating them into existing gateway and professional issues courses providedsignificant improvements in student awareness (meta-cognition) of the professional world3. Forthe cases where no significant improvement was found, observations suggest that in order for theprofessional development intervention to be effective, the course format must be sufficient toadequately develop the instructional intervention strategies. Thus, to aid in this issue, “Mini”modules were developed to provide an additional means of integrating professional developmentissues into the curriculum. In this case, we anticipated the modules being used in capstone designcourses where professional development issues

We believe that thisapproach is too little too late.Of course, it is not feasible to have a senior design project during the freshman year; first yearstudents don’t yet have the knowledge or skills that are required to succeed at such an endeavor.However, a progressive methodology can be incorporated early in a curriculum to enablestudents to build project-based experience and skills over their

Textbook examples are frequentlydisconnected from students’ immediate environment or use past data of little interest. In addition,information given on the subject is at most sketchy and the practical purpose of solving theseexamples is not clear. This lack of vivid applications in calculus courses motivated us to developcontent that can be used by instructors to enhance students’ learning experience by engagingthem directly in solving problems and applying attained skills to real life
