. Since the students’ technicalknowledge is limited at this early stage, the assignments focus on societal aspects ofengineering—for example, cultural, aesthetic, and historical issues associated with the structuresbeing discussed.Formerly slotted for the fourth year, English 410, Technical Writing, is now recommended forsecond-year students, as it is most effective when delivered as a prerequisite to the capstonefourth-year engineering course. This enables writing aspects to build more cohesively andallows students to begin their senior-design writing projects at a higher level of communicativecompetency. In addition, both the civil and environmental engineering curricula require studentsto complete a materials laboratory course during the

disciplinarynature of “technological literacy” has prompted a College of Education - Collegeof Engineering collaboration at San José State University.A team of six faculty members from the Colleges of Education and Engineering,including the deans of these colleges, is designing a course in technologicalliteracy for pre-service K-6 teachers. The course, which features hands-onlaboratory experiences, emphasizes how common, technologically-based systems,processes and products work and how they are designed.The major learning goals of this innovative course are for students in the course,who are pre-service teaching majors, to demonstrate: 1. Knowledge of the K-12 standards related to technology 2. Understanding of the processes involved in the

)Department at the United States Military Academy (USMA) used the traditionalapproach of teaching thermodynamics and fluid mechanics as two separatesubjects. These courses, ME301: Thermodynamics, and ME362: Fluid Mechanicswere required classes for all majors, including Chemical, Civil, Environmental,Mechanical, and Nuclear Engineering, as well as Engineering Management. Thistraditional approach had two significant disadvantages. First, students often failedto see the commonality between these courses and believed the two subjects to beunrelated. This is because thermodynamics is often taught from an energyperspective, with focus on the first and second laws of thermodynamics, whilefluid mechanics focuses on mechanical energy and internal/external

ENGR 111 has studentsapplying the programming fundamentals while integrating circuitry.ENGR 111 was developed to use Arduino microcontrollers (Arduinos) as the primaryprogramming environment. One motivator for this decision was to show students that coreprogramming fundamentals are the same across multiple programming languages, i.e., an ifstatement is still a conditional that may have slightly different syntax. Arduinos are used inENGR 111 due to the ease in teaching basic circuitry and the interaction with the circuitry viaprogramming.The ENGR 111 course has a team-based Cornerstone project that all students complete,demonstrate, and present at the end of the semester.

However, a gap was identified by Calland Sullivan [15] between the industry's expectations of entry-level facility managercompetencies. The contemporary student learning outcomes at FM academic programs did notmeet the presumption of hiring organizations. The authors determined that FM academics inclinetowards teaching students general FM principles, with the expectation that industry-specificknowledge will be acquired in the workforce after graduation. The study put forward howincorporating industry-specific knowledge into academic programs would better prepare
