Its primary objective is to provide the engineering students with a series oftools to design optimal industrial water networks.IntroductionWater is a key element for the normal functioning of the chemical and petrochemicalindustry. Steam stripping, liquid-liquid extraction and washing operations are among themany processes present in refineries and chemical plants where water is intensivelyutilized.Several procedures have been proposed to design economical wastewater treatment. With afew exceptions, these procedures rely on the application of certain rules of thumb. Thecurrent installations usually merge several waste streams and use appropriate technologies inseries to

Thepaper will describe the process for launching the initiative, the incentives used, some specificexamples, and a qualitative assessment of the resulting integration.BackgroundThe world outside academia increasingly values people who can see and communicate beyondtheir own specialty.

At Rowan University we have successfully immersedstudent teams in learning the principles, design and applications of membrane pervaporationthrough a project-based experience in our engineering clinics. Through this experimentalproject, students have learned about the industrial uses of membrane technology. Students alsolearn about the various process aspects of pervaporation, from selecting the proper membrane forthe desired separation to examining performance parameters, membrane transport, vacuumoperation and cryogenic vapor trapping, not normally taught in

As the number of people involved in thedevelopment of IT-based educational materials expands, the engineering education landscape hasbecome dotted with islands of innovation—isolated areas where IT-based materials are available.However, these materials are not available to a large number of users, thereby reducingopportunities for synergy, discourse, and exchange.

Since those days, not only has printing technology evolved, but newmedia have emerged; understanding of cognitive processes has progressed, learning theorieshave been developed and tested, new methods and tools have been created. Yet, practices used inmost of our engineering faculties and schools do not reflect this wealth of knowledge.One of these practices concerns the way we go about creating a new course or even a newcurriculum.

We be-lieve that this lack of “feel” in our curriculum was leading to a misunderstanding of what engi-neering is all about, resulting in attrition.We decided to look at this problem as an opportunity. We moved the one-semester-hour fresh-man Matlab course to the junior year,1 which left an opening with which to do something con-structive. We saw this as an opening to excite students with engineering, give them an early fla-vor of problem solving and design, get them involved with other students, use technology tolearn technology and prepare them to design technology. Furthermore, we saw this as an oppor-tunity to pilot a course with balanced pedagogy

Literature ReviewAbstractDespite global and national calls and efforts to bring Indigenous knowledge and peoples intoengineering and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education, thesepopulations continue to struggle in these fields because their ways of knowing are not recognizedor legitimized due to settler colonialism. Consequently, Indigenous peoples view Indigenousknowledge and STEM education as two separate entities. Decolonization research is in thebeginning stages to develop culturally relevant STEM education for Indigenous populations toheal their identities and bring back their knowledge and its motivations. This narrative literaturereview focuses on analyzing these implementations of reconnecting STEM education
