“…Curriculum development is often a byproduct of faculty development effort while curriculum development is part of the job requirement for most faculty. A number of articles have been written on issues involved with curriculum development 2,3,4 . Most of these publications discuss the common approaches to faculty development like participation in conferences, continuing education programs and internships in industry.…”

In today's global competitive environment, the engineering technology curriculum must adopt and reflect the changing needs of industry. This can happen only if the faculty are aware of the current trends in industry and are actively involved with industry and research projects. ASEE/NASA Faculty Fellowship program offers opportunities for professional development for Engineering Technology faculty. A parametric study of water jet cutting (WJC) process was done under the ASEE / NASA faculty fellowship program at NASA Langley Research Center. This research experience has been used to enhance undergraduate curriculum in Mechanical Engineering Technology at Old Dominion University (ODU).

“…While there is no one "right way" to teach the design process, it is clear that the creative learning required for engineering design requires creative instructional methods. In addition, it is essential that these methods be assessed to enhance the understanding of strengths and weaknesses of various instructional methods 7 .…”

Students are known to be motivated by course activities that are relevant to their careers. Design projects offer this type of real-life experience. This paper describes implementation and assessment of a design project that was adapted to a first-semester course that included both biological and agricultural engineering (BAE) and agricultural technology management (ATM) students. The project provided opportunity for experiential learning that engaged students, provided essential problem solving and teamwork skills, and assessed their learning about the design process. Students prepared a functional layout design for one of the BAE/ATM student spaces within Seaton Hall. The development of the layout design followed the design process, culminating in a presentation to the client (Department Head) and other constituents. Students were assessed using self-assessment, assessment of the presentation, and a short-answer exam. Results were classified according to seven elements of the design process: 1) teamwork, 2) information gathering, 3) problem definition, 4) idea generation, 5) evaluation and decision making, 6) implementation, and 7) communication. Students appeared to learn in proportion to their perceived level of class emphasis in the problem definition element and the teamwork element. Higher levels of understanding were demonstrated in the communication element and the information gathering element despite a perceived lesser class emphasis. Further work is needed to control for student knowledge of the design process elements when entering the class.
