Thescenario proposed by Everett et al (8) appears to have produced impressive results that have comeabout as a consequence of the synergistic effect of four elements deemed necessary in the designof an integrated undergraduate engineering curriculum today. These elements are: · integration of science and mathematics into problem solving and design; · an emphasis on teaming and cooperative learning; · wider use of computers to improve design and problem solving throughout the educational experience; and · continuous assessment and evaluation of methods and outcomes.The Integrated

This includes determining proper sequencing of engineeringdesign activities and establishing what types of engineering design problems high schoolstudents are able to work or solve. This paper will attempt to ameliorate some of these issues bypromulgating a conceptual framework for introducing engineering design experiences to highschool students.

Engineering Ethics

(Riley and Lambrinidou, 2015) in engineering ethics literature, it is still not surprising tosee persistent reliance on presupposed “correct” responses for a given case; an overemphasis onheroic actions and unusual mistakes without contextual considerations; and the overlooking ofthe importance of society and peer culture in the teaching of ethics. In this paper, we argue thataddressing imaginal capacity as a core component in ethics curriculum helps educators movebeyond isolated and product-oriented pictures of engineering ethics instruction and we illustrateways to bridge complexities embedded in how we think and how we relate to one another insociety.Stimulating moral imagination has been recognized as one of the major goals of

A critical obstacle to this goal,however, is the lack of familiarity that students in each discipline have for the other fields ofstudy, making a thorough understanding of overall robotics design principles quite difficult.This paper presents a model for multidisciplinary cooperation that alleviates this problem andelevates robotics to a potentially pivotal position in engineering education.I.

Survey questions 6 and 7 are aimed atunderstanding students’ perception of how engineering analysis techniques learned in engineeringscience courses inform the process of design learned in engineering design courses. Authentic designprojects across the curriculum lead students to break down the mental barriers that design is different inengineering science courses, and work toward an integrated perspective of engineering. Furthermore,understanding subsystems and how they interact is a qualitative reasoning skill that is often introducedin engineering design and plays a significant role in developing a system perspective of circuits.

through Transdisciplinary CourseworkAbstractIn the face of today's complex challenges, it is clear that the convergence of academic disciplinesin the support of creating innovative solutions is more important than ever. To enable thisconvergence, universities can adopt transdisciplinary learning experiences that promote theintegration of different academic fields. One common method for integration is the application ofdesign thinking methods and the development of cross-cutting innovation-focused skills.

Our belief was the completenessand integration that such an extended program provides would offset the length and associatedcost. However, the commitment to an extended course of study that does not yield a degree isoften difficult to make.We have found that non-engineers can successfully participate in technical management coursesoriginally designed for engineers. In fact, the mixing of these two populations appears to have apositive effect on both. The perspective that each population brings to class discussions andassignments enriches the learning experience of both.ConclusionSince its introduction in 1997, we have had two students enter
