The “modules” include multi-media computer programs, videotaped Page 3.571.1 demonstrations and hands-on laboratories. One objective of this paper is to describe the multi-media and video-based modules thatwere developed for introductory engineering materials courses. Detailed descriptions of thehands-on laboratory experiments are not included here but can be obtained from the web sitecited below. A second objective is to disseminate the results of

technologies, and a well educated,globally distributed global workforce represent significant challenges to the status quo ofU.S. engineering and engineering education. Meeting these challenges requires atransformation of how engineering is taught. Strong domain knowledge and technicalexpertise no longer make a well-rounded engineer; the rapid pace of change in scienceand engineeringalso requires high levels of ingenuity and adaptivity. Learning scientistsdescribe these dual capabilities as “adaptive expertise” (AE). Adaptive experts areinnovative: they are able to creatively leverage their experience and perform well in noveland fluid situations. They are also efficient: they apply their core taxonomic knowledgeappropriately and expeditiously. Common

The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) emphasizes abroad education by promoting global awareness for career success, aligning with national callsfor engineering students to develop intercultural competence [1]. Employers seek graduates whocan work effectively with colleagues and clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, a critical formany domestic and international projects [2]. Thus, fostering intercultural competence inengineering students is essential for their professional development.While study abroad experiences have traditionally enhanced students’ intercultural competence,engineering students often face barriers such as financial constraints and rigid

As engineering educators we have a special role to play in forming the ethical values of the engineers of the future and tempering them in the application of ethics to their practice of the profession of engineering. This paper presents a brief overview of two resources from the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) that are excellent tools for the instruction of engineering students in the ethical practice of their profession.

Matching design and schematic specifications to a single vendor solution is a necessarybut rarely taught step in engineering. Engineers need parts, but most courses magically provideeither kits, chosen parts, or single-sourced components to speed student focus on the coreengineering topics. Sourcing of parts, however, involves real world process- and people-relatedissues that can add schedule and
