Project and Team Based Learning - an Integrated Approach

One of the most important requirements of modern graduate engineers is their ability to manage and/or collaborate in complex, open-ended projects.
Towards the Unknown – Developing Students’ Abilities in Dealing with Indeterminate Design Tasks

Early educational experiences (at school and university) do not serve students particularly well when it comes to design tasks.
An In-Situ Professional Concieve-Design-Experience in an Interdisciplinary Context: Engineering Students in Chemical Biology Present Research Plans to Medical Doctors

A major part of the professional role for many of our Bioengineering students will be to be able to explain background and suggest strategies for professionals with other specialities.
Helping! (Yourself through others)

"Asking why I incorporate community service into my teaching is a little like asking why I incorporate breathing into living."

-Bob Hansman, Associate Professor, WU
Design-Build Experiences and Student-Centered-Learning in Biomedical Engineering Curricula

The field of biomedical engineering (BME) is progressing rapidly into new areas, demanding the BME students to develop multidisciplinary skills, knowledge and a possibility for life-long learning.

The Mechanical Engineering Department at the California State University at Northridge has adopted the Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) framework as the overall guiding philosophy in reform
The Value of Immersive Learning Experiences within an 'Introduction to Engineering' Module

Students usually choose Engineering because they have an enthusiasm for creating new products, structures or systems.
The importance of a dialog between examiners and students for course evaluation

In order to improve courses and educational programmes it is essential to evaluate courses given.
Enhancing Student Engagement through the Application of Multimedia Learning Theories to Undergraduate Manufacturing Courses

A problem associated with getting students to participate more fully in certain engineering courses, is the imposition, by many university administration’s, on the availability of time and resource
CDIO for Distributed Teams: Experiences of a Japanese and American Team

The recent trend in globalization of business operations has increased the need for global teams in different aspects of a company’s activities, including idea conception, product design and launch
