. Another very promising strategy is the integration ofliteracy with other school subjects. There is a great deal of research to support the efficacy ofintegrated learning for increasing the literacy of students. In particular, innovative strategies thatcombine Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) with literacy have beenfound to provide beneficial gains in reading as well as in STEM subjects.4-13 One example of thisis the Seeds of Science, Roots of Reading (Seeds/Roots) curriculum which integrates literacywith scientific knowledge to provide a fun and authentic context for learning both subjects.5, 6, 14Another example is the Engineering is Elementary Curriculum which has a story book that goeswith each of the STEM activities

The foregrounding of an understanding of engineering as technologicalactivity, founded on (but not limited to) well-established discipline specific knowledge is framedas an ‘ontology-based curriculum’.We conclude the paper with a discussion of some of the prevailing challenges to operationalisingthis conception of engineering education for society.IntroductionOver several decades, there has been an increasing recognition of the difficulties facingengineering education in terms of meeting the needs of a rapidly evolving society. In its broadestsense, this discussion centres on a disparity between society’s need for effective modernengineers, and the knowledge, skills, and attitudes students develop in their engineeringeducation

design of mechanisms was mechanical, but in the present mechatronicage, the design is multidisciplinary, i.e., mechanical, electrical, electro-mechanical, hydraulic,and pneumatic. Mechatronics is the synergistic integration of physical systems, electronics,controls, and computers through the design process, and is the best practice for synthesis byengineers driven by the needs of industry and human beings. One of the most common mechanisms in the world is the slider crank. Its most commonapplication is the internal combustion engine, but it is also used in an automatic toothbrush. Amechatronic approach to the design and implementation of any mechanism has been developedand is applied in a case study to the slider crank. The approach

With inputs and participationfrom the industry, XJTU’s plan increases the proportion of practical education in students’ credits.This is done in part by creating for-credit entrepreneurial courses.

Survey results indicate that student awareness of the relevanceof social justice to the engineering profession increased over the course of the quarter. Inaddition, findings indicate an increase in understanding of social justice concepts along with anincrease in ability to identify social injustice.

One is through feedback of an alumniadvisory council. A second way is through industry input. A third way is by measuring how wellthe students meet ABET outcomes.

that theproject is in the context of just one course out of many, and like most courses the project activityis deadline-driven. Yet in the context of a learning process, exclusively performing deadline-driven activities implies the learning process suffers, as compliance drops and contextualizedlearning benefits are limited. This is one of the prime motivations for a platform that performscontinuous assessment, provides timely feedback and identifies compliance issues as soon aspossible.Continuous assessment interpreted from an agile software engineering perspective is closelyrelated to the practice of continuous integration and testing2.
