The engineering corporation sponsored aninternship for project feasibility. Subsequently the corporation sponsored three Capstone Teams,in the 2011/2011academic year, which built and designed a proof-of-concept operational unit. Asubsequent sponsorship of two Capstone Teams in 2012/2013 produced an engineeringprototype. Presently a single five-student-member Capstone Team is preparing two functionalunits for Clinical Testing.

To qualify for funding, student teams must propose, plan and implement an original, semes-ter-long product development enterprise. The product idea must be successfully designed, devel-oped and prototyped in a single semester. The latter criterion is possible given the unique rapidprototyping facilities available at Rowan University, which include a stereolithography machine, amulti-jet modeling rapid concept modeler, a rapid circuit prototyping system and multiple consumerappliance test

This paper hopes to continue the development ofthese curricula by presenting know-how as an intentioned framework.KNOW-HOWKnow-how is not a new concept.

However, ultimately, the CEPCTC determined that the EAC’s concern could be adequately addressed without compromising on the use of Bloom’s Taxonomy simply by changing the introductory clause of the CEPC from “The curriculum must prepare graduates to…” to “The curriculum must include topics necessary to….” The latter phrase was quoted directly from the recently approved EAC Program Criteria for Cybersecurity Engineering [10] which were cited by the EAC Criteria Committee as an example of criteria that satisfied their concern

development of engineering standards (e.g., Engineering for USAll) and the growing number of public, private, and charter schools with engineering subjectsspeaks to an increasing interest in integrating engineering in the K-12 curriculum. However,because such efforts are not yet widely implemented, monitoring K-12 efforts of broadeningparticipation at the national level is unlikely. The same can also be said for informal engineeringeducation (outreach programs, museums, toys, etc.), which is also a prominent form ofparticipation in engineering at the K-12 level.After compulsory education, those wishing to pursue engineering as a career then proceed tohigher education. Here, this can entail the completion of an associate's degree, bachelor’s degree
