), which is a five-year program. For the four-year programs, the total credits required forgraduation range from 129 to 132; 160 credits are required for AE. The programs have scienceand math course sets that are aligned with accreditation requirements. The majority of theremaining credits are engineering science, both inside and outside of the major. All majorsexcept Computer Engineering have a first-year design course, in addition to the capstone designcourse. Chemical Engineering has the greatest number of laboratory courses at five. Theprograms have an emphasis on math, science, and engineering science with a focus on analysis.Thus, they are similar to the common model of U.S. programs described by Sheppard,Macatangay, Colby & Sullivan15

to work through all of the lessons themselves and began to devise implementationplans for their own classrooms. During the second week, they were invited to bring two studentsas part of a teaching laboratory. During this week, the teachers were responsible for teaching themodules to the students in a highly supported environment, surrounded by SENSE IT staff, whowere available to assist with any questions or concerns. This gave the teachers the opportunity toreview the materials, as well as to see how they work with students, thus enabling them to betterprepare for full classroom teaching.The SENSE IT teachers also participated in four full-day professional development workshopsduring the school year. The workshops gave the teachers an
