Can the impact ofusing ‘MOM in Action’ be measured? To answer this we must ask what it means to have a BS inthe fast changing technological society. Does engineering education transcend the simple sum ofall the course content? Would time spend in incorporating ‘MOM in Action’ in textbooks and lec-tures be better spent in solving another numerical example or covering an extra topic? The authorsbelieve that education and neuroscience research suggests that ‘MOM in Action’ course enrich-ment might have a positive impact on student learning and retention of concepts.The authors also
