Lavi, Rea; Bathe, Mark; Hosoi, Anette; Mitra, Amitava; Crawley, Ed – Advances in Engineering Education, 2021
In Fall 2016, the School of Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) chartered the New Engineering Education Transformation (NEET) initiative. NEET aims to educate young engineers to build the new machines and systems that will address societal needs of the 21st century. Students enter NEET in their sophomore year and join…

Hailes, Stephen; Jones, Liz; Micheletti, Martina; Mitchell, John E.; Nyamapfene, Abel; Roach, Kate; Tilley, Emanuela; Truscott, Fiona – Advances in Engineering Education, 2021
In 2014, the UCL Faculty of Engineering Sciences introduced the Integrated Engineering Programme -- a revision of eight existing degree programmes across a range of engineering disciplines. Centred on a thread of authentic project-based activities, the programme aimed to enhance the students' understanding of key theoretical concepts and heighten…

Hitt, Sarah Jayne; Holles, Cortney E. P.; Lefton, Toni – Advances in Engineering Education, 2020
This article discusses two multidisciplinary courses created at the Colorado School of Mines that were developed to integrate ethics into the first-year engineering curriculum: "Nature and Human Values" (NHV) and "Innovation and Discovery in Engineering, Arts, and Sciences" (IDEAS). In both NHV and IDEAS, our objectives are to…

Roberts, Dustyn; Buckley, Jenni – Advances in Engineering Education, 2020
The Design Studio is an academic makerspace, housed in the Mechanical Engineering Department at University of Delaware, that was co-developed through a multi-year, grassroots effort by the department and its undergraduate study body. It originated in 2012 in a small, under-utilized study room and evolved in stages into its present form as a 5,500…

Zapata-Ramos, Mari Luz; Lugo, José E. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2020
Students are attracted to innovation and entrepreneurship. However, it is challenging for them to take courses in I&E due to their already busy curriculums. This paper describes the "New Venture Design Experience," a one-year interdisciplinary program that pairs core and elective courses between the colleges of Engineering and…

Mahmud, Apel – Advances in Engineering Education, 2020
This paper discusses the experience of online studio activities for a second year project project-oriented design-based learning (PODBL) unit. The experience of delivering campus-based studio activities through an online platform, to a design a small power system, is shared due to COVID-19 restrictions. The student experience is benchmarked with…

Martin, Lee; Dixon, Colin – Advances in Engineering Education, 2019
There is growing interest in the engineering education community in "making" and the Maker Movement as a context for young people to learn and develop interest around design and early engineering competencies. Although some researchers argue that making has the potential to serve a liberating and anti-oppressive function in education,…

Constans, Eric; Bhatia, Krishan; Kadlowec, Jennifer; Merrill, Thomas; Zhang, Hong; Angelone, Bonnie – Advances in Engineering Education, 2019
This paper describes the use of a large-scale, multi-semester design project as a means of integrating six courses in the mechanical engineering curriculum. The project, a bench-scale hybrid powertrain, is built up -- component by component -- as students advance through the curriculum. The authors used the project to test two research hypotheses:…

McPheron, Benjamin D.; Thangaraj, Charles V.; Thomas, Charles R. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2017
Laboratory courses can be difficult to fit into an engineering program at a liberal arts-focused university, which requires students to be exposed to appropriate breadth, as well as sufficient depth in their engineering education. One possible solution to this issue is to integrate laboratory exercises with lecture in a "studio" format,…

Martín, Francisco Javier Ferrero; Martínez, Alberto López; Llopis, Marta Valledor; Rodriguez, Juan Carlos Campo; Viejo, Cecilio Blanco; Vershinin, Yuri A. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2015
Ongoing technological progress in measurement systems triggered the development of an innovative, hands-on teaching program to help students toward a fuller understanding of recent changes in the field. This paper presents a lab project that links theoretical principles with the practical issues of signal conditioning systems. This is…

Khalaf, Kinda; Balawi, Shadi; Hitt, George Wesley; Radaideh, Ahmad – Advances in Engineering Education, 2013
This paper presents an innovative, interdisciplinary, design-and-build course created to improve placement, content, and pedagogy for introductory engineering design education. Infused at the freshman level, the course aims to promote expert design thinking by using problem-based learning (PBL) as the mode of delivery. The course is structured to…

Neumeyer, Xaver; Chen, Wei; McKenna, Ann F. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2013
Understanding the global, societal, environmental and economic (GSEE) context of a product, process or system is critical to an engineer's ability to design and innovate. The already packed curricula in engineering programs provide few occasions to offer meaningful experiences to address this issue, and most departments delegate this requirement…

Cogger, Steven D.; Miley, Daniel H. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2012
This paper proposes that project-based active learning is a key part of engineering education at the middle school level. One project from a comprehensive middle school engineering curriculum developed by the authors is described to show how active learning and state frameworks can coexist. The theoretical basis for learning and assessment in a…

Bannerot, Richard; Kastor, Ross; Ruchhoeft, Paul – Advances in Engineering Education, 2010
In this paper we identify some of the issues and problems that we confronted while developing a new, one-semester, interdepartmental, multidisciplinary capstone design course. We implemented the following changes to the pre-existing capstone design course: (1) Utilized a website to enhance information transfer, (2) Modularized the course and…

Riddell, William T.; Courtney, Jennifer; Constans, Eric; Dahm, Kevin; Harvey, Roberta; von Lockette, Paris – Advances in Engineering Education, 2010
An integrated technical writing and design course has been developed at Rowan University. This course was developed using aspects of project-based learning and recent discussions about design education, as well as pedagogical approaches from the write-to-learn and the writing in the disciplines (WID) movements. The result is a course where the…
