The Engineer of 2020, biological applications offer a potential career path for the“next generation” engineer. Whether at the level of bioengineering (tissue engineering, drugdelivery), biomedical devices (pumps, filters), or bio-inspired applications (bio-inspiredcomputing), a further convergence of traditional engineering and the life sciences is expected1.ASME echoes this sentiment, implying that biology “warrants formal recognition as a foundationscience of mechanical engineering along with chemistry and physics”.2 While this has not yetbeen reflected in the Mechanical Engineering program-specific requirements by ABET4, whichstill require only “chemistry and calculus-based physics”, it is reasonable to assume that abiology requirement may

The curriculum consists of carefully selected and designed problems that demand from the learner acquisition of critical knowledge, problem solving proficiency, self-directed learning strategies, and team participation skills. The process replicates the commonly used systematic approach to resolving problems or meeting challenges that are encountered in life and career.”Each group had to design a lesson from the problem that was provided.

New and emerging technologies. Give students increased flexibility to focus elective courses or pursue a minor in areas important to the current industry needs: MEMS, nanotechnology, biotechnology, automotive, fuel cells, health science, etc. One way to increase the flexibility in the curriculum, for example, is to reduce the number of required ME core courses and create a four-credit advanced engineering course option. Some topics currently being considered for the advanced engineering course include Manufacturing for Designers

Infact most, if not all, of these abilities are best developed in practice. With the EnterpriseProgram, MTU has created a new and different experience designed to educate and preparegraduating engineers for more productive and successful careers. The Enterprise Curriculum isoffered as a 20-credit minor or a 12-credit concentration, typically completed over two to three-years.

One example of generating use is anassignment for freshman students which takes the form of a “treasure hunt.” The purpose of thetreasure hunt is to teach students how to find a wide variety of information that will be importantin their professional careers.
