Several approaches have been tried for assigning studentsto teams and teams to tasks in order to ameliorate this issue, but none have been particularlysuccessful.Accordingly, an entirely different approach was adopted for the 2000-2001 academic year. Noattempt was made to enroll new business students directly into PrISM. Seniors in the School ofBusiness and Economics at Michigan Tech, however, are required to take an integrative BusinessPolicy class prior to graduation. This class is somewhat analogous to the culminating, senior-level design experience in an engineering curriculum. During the 2000-2001 academic year, aSchool of

The mission of the American Association for the Advancementof Science includes the following goals: “Promote and defend the integrity of science and its use;Promote the responsible use of science in public policy; [and] Increase public engagement withscience and technology” (AAAS website). These goals frequently collide with an unfortunatereality that currently exists in graduate STEM education: the minimal training students receivetypically focuses only on communicating with domain experts. STEM graduate students oftenlack the formal communication training needed to easily share their work with the generalpublic.

the Integrated Science and Technology (ISAT) program at James MadisonUniversity [1] is to prepare students to be professionally well equipped when entering theworkplace or enroll in graduate programs. This is accomplished by developing students‟ abilityto become problem solvers who are able to investigate local, national, and global issues not onlyfrom a science perspective but also from technology, engineering and social contextperspectives. During their Junior and Senior years, the program provides students with a uniquehands-on research, design and prototyping experiences in the form of Senior Capstone Projects.The intent of a capstone is for students to utilize competencies developed in the first three yearsof the curriculum in the

This paper will firstdiscuss recent curricular changes to our BS in Engineering degree, partly sponsored by a KernEntrepreneurship Education Network (KEEN) grant, intended to enhance engineering students’understanding of business practices, societal needs, and engineering solutions. Initial changesfocused on the “endcaps” of our first-year and senior-year courses. Based on those results, anextension of the changes throughout the curriculum may be implemented. Secondly, we identifysome distinct characteristics of the general engineering curriculum that provide a fertile groundfor this type of integrative, multidisciplinary work to be carried

The program currently has a strong senior design course sequence whereseniors work in teams on real projects sponsored by industry for an entire academic year. Thisprovides a valuable experience of doing hands-on engineering projects with practicing engineers.However, this experience is missing from the first three years. Hence, faculty proposed aseparate design course sequence, where freshmen, sophomores and juniors can have similarexperience and

The primary goal of this project is to develop and testengineering education modules that link K-12 students’ classroom learning to field tripexperiences in an interactive science museum, increasing student learning and extending the fieldtrip experiences. Each Engineering Explorations module consists of one 50-minute field tripprogram completed at an interactive science center and curriculum for three 50-minute lessons tobe implemented by the classroom teacher before (2 lessons) and after (1 lesson) the field tripprogram.
