The whole college or school/department needs to determine how standards education should be integrated into the curriculum. An individual educator maybe working with a class that has relevant topics related to standards. This should be a starting point to work with colleagues in this class and make strides working with other colleagues with other classes. The author has prepared this list of questions to consider for discussion. It is not a definitive list. 2. How should standards be introduced to students? a. What

The prospect of using emerging technologies toaddress sustainable development has the definite potential of exciting undergraduate students. Several initiatives in this regard are already underway. Stanford University, for instance, isplanning to provide an innovative experience to students by establishing a residential program ina newly constructed “green” dormitory building. The building is expected to showcase sustain-able concepts related to energy, water systems, vehicle refueling, air quality, etc. and serve as a“live-in laboratory.” The new thrusts are driving curriculum reform.

interventions have proven effective atachieving myriad ethics-related learning goals [3-6]. However, as a cursory review of thesearticles will reveal, the specific learning objectives and associated strategies for integrating ethicsinto the engineering curriculum vary widely. As a result, there is not a single proven recipe forsuccess in promoting engineering students’ ethical formation, nor is there an agreed upon end.In 2001, Haws [7] identified six prominent strategies utilized by engineering instructors forachieving ethics-related learning objectives. These included (1) professional codes of ethics, (2)humanist readings, (3) theoretical grounding, (4) ethical heuristics, (5) case studies, and (6)service learning. More recently, Hess and Fore [8

In Olin College’s largely project-based curriculum, students spend much of their time in design teams. These courses can present barriers for students with disabilities who are entitled to the same access to learning resources, including classroom culture, as their peers. Project-based courses present a wide range of challenges for students with disabilities, including, but not limited to, the ability to fully participate in hands-on learning and as a contributing team member. As larger numbers of students with identified non-visible disabilities enter engineering schools, and engineering schools increasingly adopt project-based design courses, the

Muchof engineering management is conceptually qualitative. Quantitative concepts are required to tiethe discipline to the field of engineering. Thus, there is a requirement for both types of concepts.Hick’s (1999) study found that qualitative concepts were the most likely to be missing.
