The first is to engage students in engineering problemsstarting in the first semester of the Program, thus providing them with a sense of pride andownership in their work. The second is to prepare students for engineering careers by involvingthem in complex, team projects, which are typically only conducted outside of requiredundergraduate coursework, at the graduate level, or in

It is difficult tolearn abstract concepts, especially within the first few years of study, when the rationale isunclear. The authors propose that the curriculums should further involve focus on developingappreciation and rehearsal of the engineering practice. Students

Even the basic math and science courses have become sites ofinnovative pedagogical interventions [3].
