• side conversations are encouraged to take place after the meeting.Under the guidance of the research education and innovation team of Peoria NEXT, 10Knowledge Communities were established with essential top-level support for their activities.Nevertheless, given the nature of the participants’ professions, scheduling was a major difficulty.The 10 Knowledge Communities established were: • Biotechnology; • Bioengineering; • Cardiac Simulation; • Education; • Ethics; • Health Systems; • Materials Science; • Robust Design; • Medical Chemistry; • Medical Engineering and Robots.Results and ConclusionsThe Knowledge Communities consisted of 10 to 15 members with
targets were given next. Finally, at the end of the third week, the topics of theproposal development and delivery of class were covered.The proposal developed by each team and the project management chart become the road mapfor the team for the rest of the term. The concepts of design construction, design developmentand simulation methodology, analytical simulation, design synthesis and optimization, safety,ethics, and social and political implications to design decisions were covered in the week four toweek seven timeframe. The design construction, analysis and simulation of work are also taughtduring these four weeks. The Bill of Materials is populated during these four weeks for theprogress report due at the end of week seven.From weeks seven

activities, introduce changes when needed, solicit advice and assistance with the consent of the instructor, and maintain cordial and working relations amongst the members. Instructors also should monitor groups’ progress, give feedback on how each group is performing, and insure adherence to accepted standards of: ethics, social responsibility, and safety.Success in implementing active learning is attributable, in large measure, to: proper planning,dedication and care shown by the instructors, as well as their abilities and foresights. Experienceis definitely a major factor. A proper start for instructors wanting to try active learning versustraditional methods of delivery is to step into it gradually, seek continuous
a culminating design experience thatincorporates “appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints.” To exposestudents to engineering standards, all capstone participants must successfully complete ANSI’sintroductory online course on standards entitled “Why Standards Matter.”5 The course is free,and requires students to complete and pass several online quizzes in order to earn the certificateof completion. The realistic constraints listed in Criterion 3(c) include: economic,environmental, sustainability, manufacturability, ethical, health and safety, social, and politicalfactors. Each student must individually assess their project based on these factors, and then theteam as a whole formulates a position on each

In Criterion 4 – ProfessionalComponent it states that “students must be prepared for engineering practice through thecurriculum culminating in a major design experience … incorporating engineering standards andrealistic constraints that include … economic, environmental, sustainability, manufacturability,ethical, health and safety, social and political.” Discipline specific criteria, such as in chemicalengineering, further specify that engineers must have “safety and environmental aspects”included in the curriculum.

that they appreciate this show of respect and even more have commented that they appreciate that a professor has taken the time to learn their name. 3. Openly discuss ethical/nonethical behavior. Make students aware of the consequences of unethical behavior in the classroom, in the workplace, and in society in general. If their behavior is unacceptable, let them know and enforce the appropriate consequences. 4. Require attendance—indirectly. Graded in-class activities, such as unit quizzes (discussed later), group exercises, etc., encourage attendance. Peer pressure and general enjoyment of an interactive classroom also contribute to low absenteeism. 5. The late-assignment trial allows the students to enforce
. 24 This design spine allows the development of many of the “soft skills” that areembodied in the ABET EC Criteria 2000. These skills demanded of engineering graduatesinclude effective teaming skills, project management, communications, ethics and engineeringeconomics. Thus, the acquiring of these skills evolves over the four years of the design sequence.In addition, the design spine is a means for enhancing learning, as each of the design courses islinked to a lecture course taught concurrently. Students experience this strong linkage for thefirst time in the second semester of the freshmen year when they take Mechanics of Solidsconcurrently with Engineering Design II. Mechanics of Solids is a 4-credit lecture/recitationcourse that replaced
new technologies. This fact may also alter student’s necessities, expectation andgoals, during their education.Community and employers are also important stakeholders that must be considered. Communityexpectations regarding the quality of education are focused on the way that education encouragesthe responsibilities to the public and the need to practice good citizenship. These responsibilitiesrefer to ethical practices, protection of public health safety and environment, not only meet thelocal state and federal laws, but also considering them as opportunities for improvement beyondcompliance11. Thus, student should impact society on a proactive manner and must satisfyethical practices in all interactions with their communities.On the other

potential long term impact.ConclusionThe STEM SLC students significantly performed better in the MATLAB class as the passing rateis 73% vs. 44% in the non-SLC. The fact that the students in the SLC met daily together in theirclasses created not only a bond of friendship, but of work ethic as well. They motivated eachother on a daily basis in addition to the faculty reminding them of their work daily. Thisimpacted their attendance, their participation, and the completion rate of the overall work.The association of all topics across all three classes made the classes more connected. Studentsdid not feel they had three segregated classes, but possibly saw it as one class only. The mini-projects, although specific to each faculty, connected the topics

These non-technicalconstraints typically involve economics, politics, social and environmental issues, ethics, etc.And, while professional practitioners generally accept this understanding of design, students, byand large, tend to interpret the engineering design process as an unambiguous and clearly definedprocess supported by rigidly applied principles and processes of “the scientific method.”Undoubtedly, the start of any design course should be preceded by exposure to design thinkingand related processes.
