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…

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…

Barroso, Luciana R.; Morgan, James R. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2012
This paper describes the creation and evolution of an undergraduate dynamics and vibrations course for civil engineering students. Incorporating vibrations into the course allows students to see and study "real" civil engineering applications of the course content. This connection of academic principles to real life situations is in…

Dahm, Kevin; Riddell, William; Constans, Eric; Courtney, Jennifer; Harvey, Roberta; Von Lockette, Paris – Advances in Engineering Education, 2009
This paper discusses a sophomore-level course that teaches engineering design and technical writing. Historically, the course was taught using semester-long design projects. Most students' overall approach to design problems left considerable room for improvement. Many teams chose a design without investigating alternatives, and important…

Eggermont, Marjan; Brennan, Robert; Freiheit, Theo – Advances in Engineering Education, 2010
Our full-year capstone design course, "Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Design Methodology and Application," focuses on both design methodology and design application. We redesigned the course to more effectively prepare students for the "application" aspect of design. The approach was essentially to implement a short…

Garcia, Oscar N.; Varanasi, Murali R.; Acevedo, Miguel F.; Guturu, Parthasarathy – Advances in Engineering Education, 2011
We analyze and study the beginning of a new Electrical Engineering Department, supported by an NSF Departmental Level Reform award, within a new College of Engineering in the 21st Century and also describe the academic approach and influences of an innovative cognitive-based approach to curriculum development. In addition, the approach taken…
