engineering basedapproaches to develop functionally and physiologically analogous models of human organs [42],[43]. Modeling of preclinical screening of pharmaceuticals commonly requires in-vivo techniques.Even as the in-vivo techniques are currently indispensable, they suffer from myriad limitations,e.g., low throughput, long trial periods, ethical concerns, and complications associated with cross-species result transfer and validation. As a result, in-vitro models for screening of pharmaceuticalsare gaining increasing attention to create devices with high throughputs and improve the efficiencyof preclinical trials. Nonetheless, some in-vitro models (e.g., those based on microfluidics) mayfail to replicate conditions present in the body and thus

Students will develop their understanding of green and sustainable supply chain andwill learn the tools and techniques required to analyze and design a sustainable supply chainsystem. Students can ask questions to evaluate the supply chain cases which are discussing in termsof their greenness. Where are the materials are coming from? Are they environmentally friendly?Does the company provide a tangible, credible commitment to greenness, such as sustainabilitycertification?Also, regarding the social phase of the sustainable supply chain, the human-friendly environmentand industry standard which is an important phase of sustainability is becoming

Individual and Group Assignments: In the first five weeks of the course, students were assigned individual assignments primarily based on computer aided drafting (CAD) software where each student mock up their cosmetic and functional designs. In addition to that, individual assignments on ethics, intellectual property, and professional development were assigned. From the sixth week, students worked in their project groups and the group assignment varied from fabrication of their final CAD designs to design review presentations.8. Peer interactions and Project Roles: Students mirrored real professional interactions. a. Students first worked as individuals and mocked up their ideas

These traits were dedication to engineering, strongmathematics and physics ability, detail orientation, the desire to solve problems, the ability to work withothers and strong communication skills. Students hypothesized that their peers who left engineering hadlower intrinsic motivation (for example, lower interest in the field or a lower sense of satisfaction fromtheir course work), a reduced work ethic compared to others, or were unable to meet academicexpectations imposed by themselves or their parents, peers or instructors.DiscussionOur quantitative results related to belongingness indicate that, early in the implementation of ourcurricular and

Whereas most students were positive about these strategies, afew felt the time spent discussing study skills was “patronizing,” since they were juniors incollege and had already learned to study at the community college. One student commented thatthe seminar encouraged him to develop a strong work ethic from the start, by focusing on topicssuch as time management.

At each stage of careertransition, Andrew encountered a startling gap between his expectations and assumptions aboutprofessional work, on one hand, and his lived experience of that work, on the other. Fortunately,Andrew’s personal characteristics (including personality, work ethic, attitude, etc.) likely gavehim an advantage in these situations, allowing him to develop strategies to survive and even thrivewhen faced with ambiguous job roles, incalcitrant coworkers, and sharp increases inresponsibility. Yet even the apparently resilient Andrew acknowledged the emotional andpsychological toll of these challenges, to the point of exploring other employment opportunitiesand new

Communication allows one to convey engineeringsolutions in economic terms, and to substantiate claims with data and facts. Finally, character isdisplayed through such behaviors as fulfilling commitments in a timely manner, discerning andpursuing ethical practices, and contributing to society as an active citizen. It was noted thatservice learning, as applied through engineering, embraces many of these example behaviors.Accordingly, a new hypothesis was posed for the 2014-2015 offering of the first-yearprogramming sequence: that by embracing the entrepreneurial mindset as stated by KEEN –curiosity, connection, and creating value – as well as developing various
elements from the literature.These elements include: (1) the uncertainty of interpreting the problem, constraints, and goalswithin a complex, open-ended situation;10 (2) the unpredictability of solving divergent problemsthat require the evaluation and judgment of many alternative solution paths;6, 7 (3) the uncertaintyof optimizing a design that satisfies the competing demands and constraints of the client as wellas safety, economical, environmental, and ethical concerns;5, 7 (4) the uncertainty of solvingdynamic problems that require a person to constantly adjust, reevaluate and evolve asunanticipated problems arise;6, 9 and (5) designing solutions within imperfect models andincomplete information that requires all engineers to reason through
Engineering Curriculum Abstract In addition to providing the technical expertise required to solve 21st century problems, theengineers of 2020 will be expected to adapt to a continuously evolving environment while oper-ating outside the limits of their discipline and remaining ethically grounded. Their undergraduatetraining must therefore be designed to nurture engineers to transcend traditional disciplinaryboundaries, and to communicate, transfer knowledge, and collaborate across technical and non-technical boundaries. One approach to this challenge is to incorporate biomimicry or bio-inspireddesign into the engineering curriculum. Our research aims to create instructional resources thatprovide exposure to the abundance of design examples that

She states: “The master of professional engineering management is designed to meet the needs of those who are already at work in professional practice—to provide them with the professional skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the 21st-century workplace without requiring them to place their careers on hold while they complete graduate school. This master’s program will provide engineers with the knowledge and skills now required of engineering professionals—specifically, an understanding of globalization; of the importance of ethics and professionalism; of how to work effectively with diverse, multinational teams; and

In particular, he is attracted to fine-grained analysis of video data both from a micro- genetic learning analysis methodology (drawing on knowledge in pieces) as well as interaction analysis methodology. He has been working on how learners’ emotions are coupled with their conceptual and epistemological reasoning. He is also interested in developing models of the dynamics of categorizations (ontological) underlying students’ reasoning in physics. Lately, he has been interested in engineering design thinking and engineering ethics education. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 “Turning Away” from the Struggling Individual
