. Capstone design courses, integrationof communication across the engineering curriculum, the consideration of social, economic, andenvironmental issues in the solution of engineering problems, the use of assessment to measurethe impact of pedagogy on student learning: these are all evidence of change in engineeringeducation. As such, they are hallmarks of what Froyd, Wankat, and Smith have identified as fivemajor shifts in engineering education over the past 100 years, which include “a shift tooutcomes-based education and accreditation” and “a shift to applying education, learning, andsocial-behavorial sciences research.”1Now that the ABET Engineering Criteria have been in place since the mid-1990s, we may expectfurther shifts, specifically in the

. IntroductionSurgical drains are used to extract unwanted fluid from the organs of the body. The surgeonplaces them into the patient’s body and secures them to an underlying organ such as skin via surgical sutures. Based on the oscillatory breathing motion of the patient’s skin, the suturesloosen up and their grip on the drains weakens. The drain can then be displaced from its intendedposition. A secondary surgery is required to place it back into its intended location. The focus ofthis research is to investigate and compare two different suturing techniques that are used toanchor the drains. MethodsThe mechanical reliability of the RS and the MRS suturing techniques are tested via the use ofthe Instron tensile

Research has shown that ACL and PBL allow forhigher critical thinking, reasoning, achievement, and retention in students. In addition, becauseACL and PBL typically require teamwork, communication, and tolerance for ambiguity amongother aspects, they are also an ideal vehicle for instilling the attributes of the entrepreneurialmindset in students.Lawrence Technological University implemented a six year process to modify 75% of thecourses in the engineering curriculum to include ACL and PBL.
