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.

In our department,students receive training as part of their first year introduction to chemical engineering course.During this time, the students learn the basics of Portfolio data entry and sharing. The mainactivity is to upload their resume. To ultimately succeed, Portfolio needs the support of the administration, from theindividual faculty to the Deans and the University President or Chancellor. Within ourdepartment, the faculty and Chair have eagerly decided to adopt the use of Portfolio within ourcurriculum. The Dean supports our endeavor and views it as a pilot with potential use in theother engineering departments. Our

Depending on theobjectives and content area, a question or task may require integrating content knowledge,problems solving ability, laboratory experience and ability to apply information (Patz, 2006). Ifthese concepts and vocabulary are not fully captured, students are likely to do poorly.Most mathematics course knowledge is tacit, so only a fraction can be verbalized or signedduring a lecture. Often students pick this up by integrating lecture material within their mentalschema by discussion and practice with their peers. In mainstream classrooms, deaf studentshave fewer opportunities to integrate academic knowledge, including reflection on experience.Given

DBR parallels principles of design as we teach them in our technologyand engineering classes: “Design has its own distinct ‘things to know, ways of knowing them,and ways of finding out about them’” so it investigates “the man-made world” through“modelling, pattern-formation, [and] synthesis” toward values of “practicality, ingenuity,empathy, and a concern for ‘appropriateness’” (p. 221-222)11. DBR leverages the complexity ofeducational environments; opportunities for iteration in different contexts (to see what works,when); and product-based nature of curriculum design.

Many engineering classes are already oversaturated withtechnical material leaving the discussion of current events and social changes that impact oureveryday lives for general education courses. This tendency is reinforced by cultural aspects ofengineering emphasizing technical skills over social
contribution described the challenges for mentoring in academicengineering departments, among which faculty role strain takes precedence (Bowen & Sosa,1989; Boyer, 1990; Fairweather, 1996; Geisler & Rubenstein, 1989). Saliently, this very concernrenders research centers into favorable environments for mentoring (Bozeman & Boardman,2003), as their non-faculty research staff – who typically have lower teaching and administrativeworkloads than faculty – can be leveraged to increase the amount and frequency of student-mentor non-classroom contact, which has been reported to enhance student retention (Pascarella,Terenzini, & Feldman, 1991).
