This course is a highly interactive and multidisciplinary course designed for participation by all majors. Students are first introduced to Engineering, Technology, and relation to other STEM disciplines. Next the innovation framework, the step/stretch/leap in technology, and historical case studies are reviewed. Then follows interactive sessions on NAE Grand Challenges, Rising Above the Gathering Storm, and: economics, globalization, legislation, off-shoring, materials shortages, recyclability and sustainability, climate and energy policies and realities. Student teams will then present their initial and example perceptions of the cutting edge. Next, guest Professors present from each engineering discipline; including one talk on the cutting edge in STEM education. The course then covers pathways and how to leverage the cutting edge to advance ones career. Afterwards there are three weeks of in-class workshops on preparing a final presentation/poster. Before presentations the class will review key strengths in Cincinnati/Ohio. Then the class finishes with presentations that will cover a new topic, or previous topic in greater detail, including identifying how the students can participate now or after graduation.

3.00 Credits
This course will serve as an introduction to all fields of engineering for teachers interested in teaching engineering and / or interested in using engineering as a context to teach math and science. The course will include lectures as well as projects that will enable students to learn and apply the engineering design process in the context of various engineering disciplines. Students will also receive training in engineering ethics and in professional skills such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and synthesis.

3.00 Credits
The course is limited to graduate students pursuing education degrees. The course incorporates lectures and team-based projects in a design-based learning pedagogy to enable students to solve problems requiring applications of technology. Students are taught and expected to use the engineering design process: 1. Identify the need (problem), 2. Research how others have met the need (solved the problem) 3. Define the need with measurable objectives, 4. Brainstorm alternative solutions 5. Select the best solution to meet the objectives 6. Design, fabricate, and assemble prototype. 7. Test the prototype, 8. Compare the results to the objectives. This class will present problems and allow the students to work in groups to define, design, build and test the solutions. Students will learn to weigh alternative options, collect and analyze data, and assess the design using the data and objectives. Students are expected to transfer skills and knowledge learned in this course to units of instruction they develop for K-12 education.

The course provides teachers an overview of engineering fundamentals such as thermodynamics and mass and energy balances. These concepts will be used to evaluate energy supply systems and the efficiencies of various forms of energy. Challenge and design problems will examine concepts such as building energy efficiencies using a test solar house available at UC, and the recent advances in manufacturing of new materials and application of technologies related to renewable energy.

3.00 Credits
This is a course for teachers designed to develop good problem solving techniques and to illustrate how engineers use mathematics to solve a variety of practical and often complex problems. The course will closely track and directly apply fundamental theory from algebra, trigonometry, and calculus to relevant engineering applications chosen from a variety of disciplines. MATLAB® will be introduced and progressively developed as a programming tool to enable students to explore engineering concepts, to investigate solutions to problems too complex for hand solutions, and to develop an appreciation of the power and limitations of computer tools. Special attention will be given to graphical visualization of concepts and to numerical approximation techniques and the errors associated with approximations.
