To prepare future engineers for this emerging role, undergraduate engineering studentsshould engage in collaborative and interdisciplinary activities with faculties and students from variousdisciplines (e.g., engineering and social science). Such cross-disciplinary experiences of undergraduateengineering students are not common in today’s university curriculum.

There was a wide range of different types of groups formed; somewere more cooperative throughout the duration of the program, some worked better as a collectionof individuals who contacted each other only when questions came up. No participant reportedbeing unhappy in their cohort and only had compliments for their groupmates.Participants also praised the seminar portion of the program, especially that which emphasizedsocial obligation and community outreach efforts, as it is an important part of the field that rarelygets talked about in the core curriculum classes.

To ask questions, participants could unmute their microphones or post them in the chat.Through the College of Engineering (COE) Tutoring Office, students also had the option toreceive one-on-one drop-in peer tutoring for most courses taken in the first two years of theengineering curriculum.

The observed changes from pre topost within the three data sources explored in this study supports our contention that problemtypology can provide an instructional scaffold to facilitate ill-structured problem solvingexperiences. We see two implications for concurrent implementation and further research. First, itmight provide a consistent instructional reference across the curriculum that may help to overcomecurricular integration issues [17]. Consider three possibilities: 1) To initiate students into thinking about different types of problems, we envision implementation of different types of problems, at varying levels of difficulty, for

c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Design of CAIR Assessment Monitoring DisplayAbstractThis work in progress (WIP) paper describes the conceptual design of an informationvisualization display. Earlier the authors proposed a 6-item coding scheme for the evaluation ofengineering problem-solving skills. The coding scheme is called CAIR which stands forConstructive Alignment Integrated Rating system. CAIR can offer insight into the abstractionsand depth of errors present in the solution to any closed-ended engineering problem. However,on its own, CAIR cannot communicate the grading styles of teaching assistants or problem-solving abilities of students in aggregate for a test, course, courses, and so on. The

Structuralelements, like the formal curriculum, codify and communicate the values of the educationalsetting [18]. The findings in this study indicated that the inclusion of ethics in courses outside ofthe engineering curriculum, such as Bible seminar and ROTC program, demonstrated theimportance of ethics in what it means to be a Christian and officer, respectively. This integration,however, appeared decoupled from engineering and thus what it means to be an engineer.Students across the three focus groups described limited exposure to ESI in their engineeringcourses, which speaks to the null curriculum.

The reason for thisextended time to degree completion is that each curriculum has one or two sophomore-levelengineering courses that are not usually available at the community colleges. Because thesegateway courses are pre-requisites for the third-year curricula which operate on an annualschedule, new transfer students were not ready to join the third-year cohort in the fall.A pathway to a bachelor’s degree through community college is an accessible opportunity forfinancially challenged students and is seen as a means of achieving a more diverse engineeringworkforce.[1] Reducing time to graduation is a common institutional objective in highereducation, but it has specific economic importance for low-income transfer
