However, identifying outdated aspects of the course to be substitutedwith their modern counterparts can be challenging. In this paper, we describe the decisions madeto create a more advanced design environment in an introductory-level engineering design andgraphics course without losing critical engineering design foundations. This includes building aproject-based curriculum focused on computer aided design of a product with considerations formultiple manufacturing methods, including 3D printing, laser cutting, and injection molding.IntroductionThe objective of pedagogical improvements in engineering education is to strive

Instead, the goal is for a learningcommunity to have a focused discussion with respect to a formalized theme (as prescribed by Cox[22]), with the participants helping guide the experiences.Proposed Evaluation of InterventionOur FLC organization is the mechanism by which we use board games to enable and guideteachers’ experiences of learning again in compartmentalized 2-hour meetings.

that face society will likely require new ways ofthinking that can emerge by applying different disciplinary lens/viewpoints to problems. But, thedisciplinary structures in higher education, while not all bad, do not readily provide a place for studentsand faculty within these disciplines to converge. For example, assigning multiple instructors fromdifferent colleges to teach in the same room at the same time do not coincide with universitysystems/structures/values. Also, gaining curriculum approvals within a larger institution across academicunits, each with their own curriculum oversight committees, is a difficult and time-consuming process.That said, the following sections will provide an overview of this model and lessons learned from

Zare [10] suggests thatsome of these concerns can be mitigated by making the work commensurate with the extra points,clearly communicating the special nature of those assignments, and setting clear limits on howmuch will be offered in the syllabus.

withhigh levels of leadership and professional skills [3]–[5]. Historically, leadership and professionalskills have been referred to as “soft skills” indicating lesser importance than the “hard” ortechnical skills typically associated with engineering. Leadership development was often pushedto the margins of engineering education using an end-of-program project or a few electivecourses to fulfill the requirements [6], [7]. However, recent work explores the potential andsuccess of integrating leadership and professional development into the technical aspects ofengineering education. This literature indicates that out-of-class activities such as summerinternships or research experiences (e.g., REU programs) can be beneficial in furthering
