David A. Rubenstein – Biomedical Engineering Education, 2024
Biomedical engineering (BME) undergraduate curricula have begun to address gaps in diversity, especially in response to the newly proposed ABET diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) criteria. However, there is a significant lack of teaching resources, and pedagogical training available for those interested in including DEI into their course…

Meagan E. Ita; Gönül Z. Kaletunç; Katelyn E. Swindle-Reilly – Biomedical Engineering Education, 2023
Entrepreneurial minded learning (EML) is a pedagogical technique that gives students the tools to identify opportunities, focus on impact, and to create value through their solutions. The entrepreneurial mindset builds upon three key elements: curiosity, connections, and creating value (3 Cs). A biomedical engineering course was developed using…

Melanie van Berkum; Julia Diederen; Carla A. P. Buijsse; Remko M. Boom; Perry J. den Brok – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
Students in higher engineering education should develop competencies to be prepared for their future professional careers. However, in the field of food technology it is not clear what set of competencies is most relevant. This paper created a comprehensive list of competencies for food technologists by combining both domain-specific and general…

Radloff, Jeffrey; Capobianco, Brenda; Weller, Jessica; Rebello, Sanjay; Eichinger, David; Erk, Kendra – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2022
Recent science reform advocates for the inclusion of engineering design to teach science and represents a shift to so-called three-dimensional (3D) learning. This shift often requires science instructors to adapt their current curriculum to integrate 3D learning. To support this shift, the current study illustrates the collaborative development…

Fedri, Melanie Elizabeth – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Much research on how curriculum reform occurs in higher education has focused on top-down models that deemphasize individual agency and overlook bottom-up processes of innovation. This case study, in contrast, described and analyzed the process by which an engineering instructor used the strategies and tools of entrepreneurship, honed through his…

Heileman, Gregory L.; Abdallah, Chaouki T. – Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, 2019
While occupying various academic leadership positions, the authors repeatedly encounter the use of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) accreditation to influence decision making around engineering curricula. For instance, ABET criteria are commonly cited as the reason why particular changes to engineering programs, such…

Theresa K. Green – ProQuest LLC, 2021
One goal of undergraduate engineering education is to prepare students with the knowledge, skills, and decision-making strategies that are necessary for success in engineering practice. One proposed method to teach students these skills is to incorporate habits of mind into K-12 and undergraduate curricula. Habits of mind are the intelligent,…

Talanquer, Vicente; Bucat, Robert; Tasker, Roy; Mahaffy, Peter G. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed many aspects of our world including the way we teach chemistry. Our emergence from the pandemic provides an opportunity for deep reflection and intentional action about what we teach, and why, as well as how we facilitate student learning. Focusing on foundational postsecondary chemistry courses, we…
