Strong alignment is the key to cultivating student interestin STEM and manufacturing. To meet these challenges, we have initiated the following changes in the 2019 program: 1.Recruit teachers whose area of teaching is directly related to engineering applications especiallyin the manufacturing sector; 2. Allow teachers to design a smaller curriculum unit so it is easier tofit in their teaching assignment; 3. Encourage teachers to inspire intrinsic motivation amongstudents to learn the

Twogoals of our research include: 1) to increase self-efficacy of undergraduate BME students byproviding project-based learning experiences throughout the curriculum; and 2) to identify ifbiomedical engineering student self-efficacy differences correlate with student ability toeffectively translate fundamental knowledge toward engineering design.Since we bring disciplinary expertise, our choice of mentors parallels the engineering educationresearch topics required to successfully approach our study’s research goals.

At one extreme, there are so-calledtraditionalists who hold the position that all “educated” individuals should demonstrate a masteryof specified topics (for example, Greek classics), with the topics more or less representing theentire history of western civilization. Examples of adherents of this position are Allen Bloomand Ed Hirsch, academics who have authored the controversial books The Closing of theAmerican Mind 1 and Cultural Literacy 2 respectively. Traditionalist curriculums tend to be veryhomogenous, with minimum flexibility regarding course selection. Taking an

Professors today needto separate themselves from the past and accept technology as an integral part of the education ofstudents in the 21st century – so these students are capable to compete on the global level.

System-level integration and test is an enormous task since it evolves the entire system,external interfaces and the environment. To address these issues in the curriculum, we will placean emphasis on the following two approaches: incremental integration with progressive andsystemic testing, and white-box testing of temporal properties.Various integration strategies have been investigated since 1970’s with the most effectivetechnique being incremental integration, either bottom-up or top-down approaches.
