. Bruce has studied and worked in the alternative energy field for 15 years in a variety of disciplines, with industrial experience in both large tech companies and start-ups. Dr. Bruce is keen to share his understanding into underlying physical science and how to use it to actualize engineering and bring innovation from conception to production. Dr. Bruce is an avid sculptor, painter, and photographer and he hopes to pioneer integration of fine arts with engineering at Fulbright to help examine what serendipitous discoveries can be found through these combined fields.Dr. Sebastian Dziallas, Fulbright University Vietnam Sebastian Dziallas is a Founding Faculty Member at Fulbright University Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City

Mapping an engineering curriculum to exclusivelyfour-hour courses is also difficult, as most traditional courses and texts are built to be taught inthree hour blocks, forcing some creative combination of courses.The entire curricula for both electrical and computer engineering have been approved, and theprograms accepted their first freshmen in fall 2019.

Code of Ethics and discussion ofcase studies [3]. However, ethics in the engineering curriculum has been reported to have mixedeffectiveness, especially when delivered as an isolated topic within courses such as a capstone orpurely through case studies. Instead, an effective supplemental framework for integrating ethicsthrough the curriculum is needed in order for practicing engineers to make decisions with theintegrity appropriate to the profession. Toward this goal, an initial implementation was made in asenior level design class where ethics questions were interspersed throughout the semester onday to day ethical issues that related directly to the course material. Twelve students took thiscourse alone, while twenty-two were concurrently

department. One of thefirst accomplishments of the committee was to draft and adopt the following mission statement: “The Bachelor of Science in Engineering program provides an integrative engineering curriculum grounded in a systems perspective. Complex systems are analyzed and modeled using an approach highlighting the commonalities between systems across various fields of study. The program provides students with the opportunity to develop systems thinking and to study in emerging and interdisciplinary fields of engineering. Graduates will be distinguished by their broad understanding of design and systems thinking and by their ability to communicate across engineering disciplines and related fields of science.”Because

Incorporating writing in the engineering curriculum is arequirement at Methodist University through our Writing Across the Curriculum initiative;however, as writing is an important skill for which prospective employers desire, we can furtherdeepen the integration by implementing some of these concepts in every engineering class.

The inclusion of introductory design courses in the engineering curriculum is afast-growing initiative that has been implemented in several universities across the US as part ofmultiple efforts to improve retention [1]. Still, current concerns about engineering retention andthe preparation that engineering students need, demand an examination of these courses. Oneway to examine these courses is by exploring how students use the content included inintroductory engineering design classes as they progress into successive phases of theirengineering education.

In an undergraduate engineering curriculum verticalintegration has previously been used to improve student engagement through concurrent teachingand utilization of the concepts. More specifically, in an engineering design course a combinationof professional, ethical, technical, or communication skills are both taught and used [7, 8].
