trying tofacilitate innovation in their employees, but students are not learning how to be creative in arapidly changing world 1. For solving this problem it is necessary to project the integrativeeducational system (cluster) for training creatively thinking students.For this objective an innovative educational model, new methodology and technology, newthinking, and higher level of consciousness become necessary. Models of contemporaryengineering education and activity must be based on general models which take intoconsideration the unity of the world in its complex connections, and ecological, ethical,aesthetical principles. In the process of developing the model an attention was focused on thefundamentalization of education, which is based
Storytelling as an Effective Mean for Stimulating Students' Passion in Engineering ClassesAbstractStorytelling was employed as a powerful tool in stimulating students' interest in the classroom ofa sophomore level course in engineering design. Over two years, students’ assessment of themethodology was obtained through a survey that incorporated students that have and not havetaken the course. The outcome of students’ satisfaction and support of telling stories by theinstructor was overwhelming among both groups of students. The impact was not targetedtowards just creating passion in the classroom, but the active participation and reflection on thestories was sought to lead to ethical values pedagogy. To gain multi-cultural

management was a huge success, with exceptionally high-levelspeakers including Ministers from Egypt and Iraq, and the Advisor to the King of Jordan, topmanagement from Arab Contractors League and other prominent individuals. It is easy to seehow a student is impacted when he/she hears directly from the person making policies that affectan entire country or organizations so large that they affect an entire region of the world. Inexposing Bradley students to these experiences, the author has enriched their cultural andprofessional knowledge and directly addressed at least three program outcomes (understandingof professional and ethical responsibility, broad education in a global context, and contemporaryissues) listed in ABET’s Criterion 3.3.3 Impact
understanding of professional and ethical responsibility. g. an ability to communicate effectively. h. the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context.It has been reported that students learn material better when learning takes place in a teamcontext3. Team-based learning facilitates the students to build team working skills, enhancecommunication skills, and develop positive interdependence and accountability4. Students alsolearn the social benefits from working in a group5-6. Most of the studies on team-based learningfound in the open literature are related to in a classroom-setting or in a multi-disciplinary teamenvironment within a single university.Persistent
