In contrast, our newly developed first-year course sequence, funded by a CourseCurriculum and Laboratory Improvement Phase 1 Grant from the National Science Foundationtitled “Design-Based SPIRAL Learning Curriculum” (DUE-0837759), strives to integrate avariety of engineering topics in

This document served as a baseline andguide for skills and characteristics required or desired in graduates of the ECET department andgave a picture of possible standardized outcomes. (See Appendix 1.) It was inspired by the workof Riley et al, which described the redesign of Smith College’s engineering curriculum.20The document demonstrated that information literacy skills supported not only

They learn actively, rather than passively, by taking advantage oftechnology.Traditional construction engineering and management (CEM) education followsthe Cartesian view of mind-matter dualism where the learner and the learningcontext are detached. Under this paradigm, concepts are presented as fixed, well-structured, and independent entities. Learning activities are divorced from theirauthentic context resulting in fragmentation and specialization of courses andeducational experiences.

Mathematics offers a language with which to express relationships in science and technology and provides useful analytical tools for scientists and engineers.
