in any mechanical engineering program across theworld. This paper presents three different approaches taken by faculty at three different regionaluniversities in the United States with similar small class size, low student-teacher ratio, andcomparable cost of attendance. We examine the pedagogical approach, course content, desiredoutcomes, and assessment of outcomes at three different universities to identify the desiredbalance between traditional, analysis-based outcomes and those targeted towards practice-basedskills.IntroductionA course in the design of machine elements has been a part of most mechanical engineeringcurricula since the 1950’s. The content of this course has its roots in academic research in solidmechanics, mechanisms and

Thenarratives provided details on the history behind the development of these research projects, thelarge data collection efforts involved, and the collaborations inside the University that help theprojects function smoothly. Faculty who engage in course innovation or education research canuse this paper as a case study of how to get actively and collectively involved in influencingdepartment-level practices at their respective institutions.References[1] J.

-relatedpositions [7]. Similarly, business ethics arose from philosophers’ interest in understanding whatconstitutes right and wrong behavior in the context of competitive financial transactions [8]. As aprogram of inquiry, some have dated the historical roots of business ethics to the mid 1970’s,when the first academic conference in business ethics was held [9]. Indeed, some of the samephilosophers interested in applied and practical ethics crossed contextual boundaries, applyingthe same structures of thought to several disciplinary realms. Bioethicist Tom Beauchamp is agood example of such cross-overs, having published one of the earliest anthologies in businessethics [10] just a few years after publishing his major work in bioethics.The same holds for

Finally, the holistic applicationof rubrics to interview data allowed for understandings of the engineering design process to beexpressed in multiple ways: both implicit and explicit understandings could be expressed byparticipants and then scored by analysts’ application of the rubrics to each participant’s interviewas a whole.References[1] E.

Studentstaking the EOS course could thus be well trained and solve problems as expected. However,we got some feedbacks from graduated students, who asked to introduce more skills ofinnovation and imagination in such a course. Their values can be demonstrated not only fromtheir competencies of hands-on skills but also from designing a new product. Hence, in the fourth phase (2014~2016), CIM was adopted and SCAMPER wasintroduced in the EOS courses. Students were encouraged to put more innovation skills intotheir final project.
