This issue contains eight articles that document “advances” in engineering education. The papers cover a wide range of topics, with focus ranging from introductory first year courses to senior capstone design. The papers present creative ways of student learning and assessment, including the use of webpages and other media to better understand complex concepts. The papers address such currently “hot” topics as the blended/flipped classroom, combining ethics with design, sustainability and entrepreneurship. Below is a short overview of each paper–happy, and productive reading! (click PDF to continue reading).
