He was the fourth recipient of SPEE’sLamme Award in 1931 and was honored with many other awards during his long career.20Jackson was also a strong supporter of libraries, believing that they were integral to theinstructional and research programs of engineering schools.21In his paper, Burgess expressed a concern that public libraries were failing to provide appropriatebooks for young people, artisans and industrial workers who had an interest in science andengineering. The main reason for this, he argued, was that few, if any, librarians had thetechnical knowledge and experience that would allow them to assess the quality of

learning is the inclusion of student skills associated with anentrepreneurial mindset, such as integrating information from many sources to gain insight,conveying engineering solutions in economic terms, and identifying unexpected opportunities.The resulting entrepreneurially minded learning activities emphasize “discovery, opportunityidentification, and value creation with attention given to effectual thinking over causal(predictive) thinking” [3]. At Lawrence Tech approximately 75% of the engineering curriculum,including mathematics and general education, is being modified to include ACL, PBL, and EML.These courses span the curriculum and range from multidisciplinary Introduction toEngineering [6, 7] to junior level technical courses [8, 9] to

Due to the lack ofshared curricular requirements across the eighteen engineering majors offered at U-M,incorporating a bookend approach seemed to be a potentially effective strategy. Updating anexisting course in the first year, where some shared curriculum does exist, and implementing anew course in the senior year when most students are completing their senior design experienceand preparing to enter the workforce, proved to be the most feasible.This practice paper primarily provides information regarding the design of these two courses,including explanation of the motivations for implementing these courses and the research basisthat informs the course design.

Similarly, social and environmental considerations could follow the samepath and become an important part of each course in the engineering curriculum. Without thiskind of evolution in engineering education, the status of engineering as a self-regulatingprofession will be increasingly weakened. Our profession must learn to approach design anddecision-making with more than just technical tools. Only then can we hope to play a moredecisive role in transforming our present situation and to play a seminal role in creating ways oflife that are more economic, socially viable and

Specific instruction about theproblem solving process has had positive effects, but often did not transfer to future courseworkwithout significant integration into the entire four-year curriculum, as in the McMaster ProblemSolving Program23. This is difficult to accomplish at most institutions. Many introductoryproblem solving courses provide the students with a 4-6 step method, but do not emphasizeexplanation and hard problems to develop the cognitive skills required, and facilitate transfer.We believe an emphasis on hard problems and explanation is critical for

Within engineering education, there are inherent links to professional practice and engineering education practice which have evolved in response to these changes. An example of this is apparent in the recent thrusts to include communication in the engineering education curriculum as a result of the inputs from industry and the profession1.

Both an understanding of fitsand exposure to manufacturing processes may not be covered until after CAD instruction in atechnology program.Off-the-shelf instructional materials typically do not place a high emphasis on integrating DFMand DFA considerations into CAD modeling. It is typically open ended projects that provide thebest format for encouraging students to integrate manufacturing considerations into theirmodeling as part of generating a physical prototype. For this purpose, CAD instruction may becombined with some exposure to CAM and CNC programming that allows students to by-passmanual fabrication. However, this leads to a very heavy course content
