Structure of the laboratory sequenceAn overview of the curriculum revision and the details of the new laboratory sequence have beenpresented previously1. In brief, the Electrical Engineering undergraduate core curriculum modelincludes a total of six 1-quarter hour (3 contact hours/week) laboratory courses during thesophomore and junior years. These courses are designated Lab I (1st quarter sophomore) throughLab VI (3rd quarter junior). The laboratory courses are not tied to a specific lecture course; ratherthey incorporate material from several topic areas within

Results suggest that more practice with higher order skills in context of the engineeringdesign process at additional points during the curriculum may be necessary to enable students toretain these skills. Additional recommendations based on the analysis include making ILrequirements in the Capstone grading rubric more explicit and granular, and combiningengineering subject matter experts and engineering librarians to collectively score students’work. This may be a path to enabling more rubric-based assessments of IL in the engineeringdiscipline.BackgroundMechanical Engineering students at Northeastern University

Ingeneral, it is known that an engineering technology student will use these functions 80% of timein his professional career. So, his understanding of these functions and its x-y plots will helpclarify his understanding of derivatives and integrals of these functions.The input commands for computing the five basic functional values for given values of ‘a’ and‘b’ at ‘x’ are seen in MATLAB Command Window, as shown in Figure 1.

that the capstone design experience itself is not sufficient for students to develop athorough understanding of the engineering design process [1-3]. There have been numeroussuccessful efforts in exploring efficient methods to integrate engineering design education intothe first year curriculum in undergraduate programs [4-7]. According to Sheri Sheppard andRollie Jenison’s study [8], one of the most important reasons for an increase in design practice atthe freshman level is the “Recognition of Freshman Attrition.” A U.S. Department of Education(DOE) longitudinal study of undergraduate engineering programs pointed out that the retentionrate during the freshman and sophomore years in an engineering program is much lower thanthat during the

additional applications of FEA. Finite element analysis can be also implemented instatic, transient, or highly dynamic ways. In short, FEA is becoming limited more so by whatapplication one can construct versus the stability and robustness of the tool itself.Teaching finite element analysis encompasses two main efforts within the classroom: 1) themathematical foundation of the finite element method itself, and 2) the proper application of thismethod to engineering problems. Each effort may independently be worthy of a semester-longcourse, yet this is an unreasonable expectation in an undergraduate curriculum. It can either beintroduced with coding such as MATLAB (Mueller, 2003), commercial tools (Kurowski, 2014),or both. However, for undergraduate

Addressing issues related to ethics andequity in engineering education or practice requires integrating ethics and equity discussionsmore consistently across engineering curricula and workplace practices to foster a culture ofcontinuous ethical awareness and social responsibility. Also, encouraging engineering students toconnect with society and education beyond engineering is an important path to ethicaldevelopment.Keywords

”.Engineers and non-engineers alike widely characterize engineering as a discipline whose purposeis to “solve problems”, and this is often framed as “design”1. Despite movements since at leastthe 1990’s to reform engineering education to integrate design throughout the curriculum,including during the freshman year, engineering curricula remain dominated by “linear” and “topdown” models that postpone the introduction of design. In this standard model, basic math andscience (“analysis”) courses are given during the first two years, followed by application of thisknowledge to conduct basic engineering analysis during the second and third years, andculminating in engineering design (e.g., capstone design projects) during the last year2, 3.

passion for the engineering profession among students. Theseprograms often adopt engaged pedagogies that integrate technical and non-technical (e.g., ethicsand communication) competencies into the curriculum. A major goal of such an integrativeapproach to engineering education is to present students with a more holistic vision of theengineering profession, and communicate to students that skills necessary for good, responsibleengineering are integrative by nature. Therefore, it is relatively natural that instructors oftenassess the efficacy of these pedagogies in their classes in terms of how these pedagogies affectstudents’ ethical perceptions and the development of their ethical competencies. As a result,some first-year engineering instructors
