, engineers will need something that cannot be described in a single word. In involves dynamism, agility, resilience, and flexibility. […] Encompassed in this theme is the imperative for engineers to be lifelong learners. They will need this not only because technology will change quickly but also because the career trajectories of engineers will take on many more directions – directions that include different parts of the world and different types of challenges and that engage different types of people and objectives. Hence, to be individually/personally successful, the engineer of 2020 will learn continuously throughout his or her career, not just about engineering but also about history, politics, business, and so forth

. Page 24.112.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 A Study of Pre-Algebra Learning in the Context of a Computer Game-Making CourseIntroductionIn this paper, we report on the results of the first implementation of GameMath!, a new pre-algebra learning curriculum based on game development, or game-making. The curriculum is theresult of a National Science Foundation Creative IT grant to explore novel ways to teachstandards- based content and 21st century skills to underperforming high school students in LosAngeles. The project’s goals are to address retention, career education and secondarymathematics learning. Game development is being used to engage students and to
