must be rooted in an understanding of the ways inwhich the targeted learning is achieved and made observable. To be most valuable to thegraduate and to society, important learning goals and outcomes must be achieved and assessed inan authentic context representing practices of the engineering professional community.GoalThe goal of this paper is to present and illustrate the use of the Integrated Design EngineeringAssessment and Learning System (IDEALS). The IDEALS model integrates learning and Page 22.791.3assessment to develop targeted professional skills and effectively document this achievement.This model, described briefly in Figure 1
Human-Robot Interaction course for graduate students with pre-requisite skills in linearalgebra, MATLAB, Simulink, and Digital Signal Processing7. This course focused on aninvestigation on human-robot interaction and prosthetic control. There was a specific focus onadvanced man-machine interface including neural signal processing, electromyography, andmotion tracking interfaces for controlling and receiving feedback from robotic devices. Therewas an exploration of human physiology and anatomy, signal processing, intent determination,communications between the human and the device. The labs were completed by using theVirtual Integration Environment (VIE) and with robotic devices. All of the programming wascompleted in MATLAB and Simulink. The

methods of attaining compliance with this criteria. This work shows 2 differentmethods of complying with the criteria within large public universities with undergraduatestudent populations in excess of 700 each. One method places emphasis on integrating safetythroughout the entire core curriculum within mini design projects mainly through student self-learning. The topics are then reinforced within the capstone courses during senior year. Thesecond method places emphasis on distributing safety topics among the unit operations andsenior design courses supplemented by an elective course in Chemical Process Safety. Repeatedemphasis of safety alongside technical content results in a relatively strong connection to thecontext of chemical process

Recent alumni, and cooperative educationstudents alike, have been impressed with the quality and quantity of employmentprospects. Should other Engineering Management programs consider the addition ofsuch topics to the foundation of their curriculums? This article will discuss the pros andthe pushbacks to making what others call an ‘area of emphasis’, core to a traditionalEngineering Management curriculum.IntroductionThe Engineering Management Body of Knowledge (EMBoK) contains EngineeringManagement principles and practices over 11 different knowledge domains1.

. Students participate in labs through which they gain hands-on experience inmilling, turning, forming, welding, and sand casting, among other manufacturing processes. Additionally,through several iterations of an individual project, each student builds a functional, high-fidelity, well-finished prototype of their own design. Drawing from Dewey alongside Lave and Wenger’s theories oflearning through experience and participation in communities of practice, we observe how students engagetheir mind, hands, and heart in a makerspace environment and the subsequent changes that they experience.We hypothesize that greater integration of students’ mind, hands, and heart is associated with increasedengineering task self-efficacy, innovation self-efficacy

sociotechnicalthinking pervades the entire engineering curriculum. The focus here is on an engineering science(ES) course.During the Fall 2014 and Fall 2015 semesters, our research team integrated social justiceconcepts into the ES core course “Introduction to Feedback Control Systems” (IFCS) at ourpublic university, the Colorado School of Mines (CSM). Our motivation was to introducestudents to a missing or underrepresented element of the curriculum at CSM, and to do so in sucha manner that challenges the “sacred cow” notion of the ES core curriculum2, 3, reinforcing thehigh value of social justice to engineering as opposed to placing it in a course with lowerperceived value. We have previously reported on results from this integration4, 5; this paper

With an increased focus on STEM in primary and secondarycurricula and the importance of 21st century skills for students to solve real world problems, K-12 educators are being encouraged to expose students to engineering design principles.However, in an age of standardized testing and high stakes

Finally, we calculated a composite score foruser-centered innovation potential by multiplying the scales on feasibility, desirability andnovelty.We believe this study has added value to improving our understanding of user-centeredinnovation potential in an undergraduate biomedical engineering curriculum. With furtherdevelopment and scaled-up validation, we may be able to use the instrument to provide insightsinto developing teaching interventions for stimulating user-centered innovative potentials amongbiomedical

translational aspects of fundamentalneuroscience towards applied neurodegenerative and neurological neuropsychiatric strategies.Program ModelStudy abroad courses that are faculty led and short term are seen as the major vehicles forstudents to integrate an international experience in their curriculum. The opposite is true for theNYC LSAMP model, which has a term length of 8 weeks or more typically in the summer. Asummary of the program elements at each university site is shown in Table 1. The eleven coreelements of the program were deemed an integral component of the success. For example, thefaculty led designation for the KTH program is linked to the career award of the faculty.
