This paperwould detail the results of this phase-I project and the implantation model.Introduction: Over the last two decades, materials science and engineering, and manufacturing (MSEM)has evolved into an important, interdisciplinary subject area in the engineering curriculum [1]–[3]. As a result, introductory undergraduate level MSEM class (with or without lab component)has become part of traditional non-MSEM engineering programs such as mechanical andindustrial engineering. In some cases, this type of class is a required component of anundergraduate course curriculum. Covering the depth and breadth of an interdisciplinary andhands-on subject like MSEM in a single semester

These problems mayencompass the achievement of great heights in structures, or the ability to span great divides withnew bridge technology, or the ability to enhance transportation modes with multimodaltransportation. In each scenario, it is the engineer with the vision to integrate conflictingdemands into an elegant solution that is pivotal to the final outcome. The continued importanceof this ability to integrate multiple demands is the basis for the position in this paper thatengineering

The pillars of this model encouragepedagogy that not only equips students with empathic design skills, but also facilitates valuesdevelopment. The pillars can be traced throughout a curriculum to ensure empathy education iscontinuously integrated. Therefore, each model can be used to the advantage of engineering educators in avariety of ways and course context should be considered for the selection of a given model.Pedagogical StrategiesIn this section, instructional activities for empathy education that have been implemented in BME coursesare

The older curriculum had become outdated, was notteaching our students what we thought they needed, and was not preparing the students for therest of the mechanical engineering program and beyond.As our graduating students completed exit surveys, common criticisms of the program included aperceived lack of software availability and a deep knowledge of how to use the software, lack ofpreparation for constructing prototypes (mechanical and/or electrical), and lack of product designinstruction and practice. In an effort to address these problems, two new courses were developedfor 1st year students [1] and a 2nd year

rote learning because students can rapidly useknowledge to solve an issue at hand while internalizing the minimal amount of essential andrelevant information. Because they do not have to repeat the same material in several areas,integrated content also frees up students' time to study new information. This improves thinkingspeed and turns the brain into a programming machine rather than making learning dull. Apartfrom obtaining engagement for learners’ interdisciplinary integration has some advantages forinstructors as well. Teachers are familiar with interdisciplinary information in their subject areas,making it simple to synthesize and condense knowledge into primary ideas that are distinct fromone another and are easy to visualize

Within this structure students gain valuable research and developmentskills, but at a level that is appropriate for their age level while reducing the projects costs andensuring safety of students. This is of value to many federally funded researchers, as they are oftenlooking for ways to add a broader impact component to their research projects.
