BOUTIQUE ENGINEERING: STUDENT LEARNING IN A MULTIDISCIPLINARY ENGINEERING CONCEPTS AND METHODS COURSE

摘要

EGN1008C Engineering Concepts and Methods is a first year course that has been designed and team-taught by a multidisciplinary troika of faculty (one bioengineer, an environmental engineer, and a civil engineer) in the fall semester of 2006. This paper provides an overview of the overall philosophy, content, and evaluation of assessment results obtained in our first offering of EGN1008C as a highly integrated and multidisciplinary "gateway" technical course to our three curricula in bioengineering, environmental engineering, and civil engineering.
