the curriculum.In 1828, the Institution of Civil Engineers defined engineering as “the art of directinggreat sources of power in nature for the use and convenience of man.” 1 By 1956, thisdefinition expanded beyond harnessing physical phenomena to include “application ofknowledge” and “design and production.” 2 What remained consistent however, was theidea that engineering is artfully disposed. This suggests a level of care and understandingthat conjoins thought and feeling. If the transformation of science and technology intoproducts and systems requires empathy or “emotional union,” 3 (i.e., the projection of selfinto objects) then the education and training of engineers should include an understandingof intuitive processing.Engineers must

electrification in society, with the surge inelectric cars and other vehicles on the streets around us. This is partly driven by therealization that fossil fuels need to be phased out and partly by other environmental concerns.It is also boosted by technological developments of battery performance, enabling moreenergy to be stored electrochemically using new and better materials. Furthermore, there arenew appealing modes of transport, such as electric skateboards, hoverboards andmonowheels. Such topics are popular with students of mechanical and electrical engineering,as well as in product development and design projects.In this paper, we describe how sustainability and design have been systematically introduced,using a materials approach, into an

Onesuch industry facing imminent shortage of graduates in its workforce is aerospaceengineering (AE).The U.S. Department of Labor Statistics (2019) estimates the employment growth of AE at 7% for the next decade which is at par with other occupations. The growth in the sector isprimarily based on high-end technology jobs such as computational fluid dynamics testingand redesigning aircrafts for better efficiency.

students useful skills that will help distinguish themfrom other job candidates. Microcontroller technology is new enough that recent graduates cansuccessfully compete with more senior engineers who have never learned to design withmicrocontrollers.Microcontrollers are becoming ubiquitous in many modern products and machinery, due to theirability to perform complex electronic functions for low cost, and understanding how to use thesesystems is a valuable skill set for any engineer. While some projects will require an electricalengineer to implement the microcontroller design, having the ability to design simplemicrocontroller systems will give a mechanical engineer the ability to be responsible for theentire design of many mechatronic devices, as

questions were favorable at both institutions. Students from the 4year university rated questions 2, 3, 4, and 6 slightly higher than students from the 2 yearcollege. This may be due to the fact that the 4 year students were all second semester freshmen.Students from the 2 year college rated questions 1 and 5 slightly higher. Since these studentswere in technology or engineering science programs, the modules may have increased theirinterest more than the freshmen who had already declared engineering majors. Also, the studentsin the 4 year institution were from a variety of different majors, so some students may have nothave made a direct connection to the relevance to their discipline, yet the modules strengthenedtheir appreciation for other

Nevertheless, the time seemed appropriate to provide students with a newway to enhance their curricular focus on environmental engineering In 1992 the environmental engineering faculty opted to establish a special concentration comprised ofboth required and elective courses pertinent to environmental engineering that would continue to satisfyABET criteria for the existing baccalaureate program in Civil and Environmental Engineering.

The new course is based upon a course that had been part of aManufacturing Engineering Technology program that has recently transitioned to ManufacturingEngineering. The goals of the new course are to both find the right balance between modeling andapplication and be true to the applied nature of the new Manufacturing Engineering program.Therefore, the course is lab intensive to provide students with multiple opportunities to work withindustrial robots. Students complete eleven structured and semi-structured lab activities that in-troduce them
