prototyping is to develop an end product that closely reassembles theproduct that will serve a given purpose. The purpose of pre-engineering robotics competition isto give an opportunity for students to engage in engineering problem solving activity and be ableto see a concrete outcome. As students compete, they have an opportunity to work closely withprofessionals as they mentor the student robotics teams. Often we see on the news that American students are behind in mathematics and sciencescores compared to other industrialized countries. This is a valid issue to be considered whendeveloping an integrated systems engineering education curriculum. Although the fundamentalsare important, it is necessary to understand what skills are relevant

A good starting point is with an introduction toenvironmental regulations followed by the tools for risk assessment. We believe thatgreen engineering can be easily coupled with what is currently being taught in a chemicalengineering curriculum. The following table is a summary of green engineering activitiesthat can be incorporated into a chemical engineering curriculum. Following this table is adiscussion of the attempts of Rowan University to integrate green engineering throughoutthe curriculum.Integration of Green Engineering in the Chemical Engineering CurriculumFreshman Engineering Clinic

We have thereforebegun the process of integrating the use of FEA tools throughout the curriculum, instead ofdelaying it until the senior year either for senior design or elective courses. This paper describesthe introduction of FEA to students in the first course of Statics and Solid Mechanics. The firstpriority of this course is to build the foundation for Mechanics. The challenge therefore was todetermine the content without compromising the priority. Keeping this in mind, 1-D Barelements and 2-D Truss elements are introduced in the course. These

The original intention from stakeholders when developingthe experience was that the two courses would be strongly integrated (i.e., coupled) across alldimensions. For example, instructors would collaborate on course design and curriculum, thematerial students received passively in lecture would be applied actively in lab, and instructionalscaffolding would be prioritized (Kanu, 2017).

A review of thatimperative identified a gap in the engineering curricula: there is a lack of “systems” level designexperience that requires engineering students to synthesize what they have learned in theircurriculum and extend their knowledge outside their field of study through independent learning.In an attempt to address this issue in the computer engineering curriculum at Cal Poly, we arebuilding a pipeline in the curriculum to properly prepare and engage students in project-basedlearning activities.

engineering into the classroom is theteacher’s and student’s misconceptions about engineering. The engineering design process(EDP) is a decision-making process, often iterative, in which basic science, math, andengineering concepts are applied to develop optimal solutions to meet an established objective.Among the fundamental elements of the design process are the development of objectives andcriteria, synthesis, analysis, construction, testing, and evaluation. Teachers can easilyincorporate the EDP into existing classroom projects or activities and it can also provide aframework for developing new curriculum modules. The EDP is a great tool that teachers canuse in their coursework to enhance their problem solving skills as well as introduce them

For civil engineering students, this meansgetting students out in the field as much as possible. While lecture and lab based engineeringeducation is important, field experience is equally important. Too often, students lack actualfield experience.Students in an academic setting typically have ample opportunity to become proficient in thepencil and paper rigor of engineering problem solving.
