curriculum showed that energyconcepts are indeed fragmented into disciplinary silos (Chen, Scheff, Fields, Pelletier, &Faux, 2014). This means that students cover the same energy concepts in differentclasses, but learning does not necessarily build on prior knowledge and it is notconnected to other content areas. Because current curricula do not do a sufficient job ofintegrating energy across the K12 science disciplines, additional work needs to be done todevelop curriculum that covers multiple science disciplines, including biology, earthscience, physical science, and chemistry. An ideal bioenergy curriculum would teachstudents core concepts of the field from the various disciplinary perspectives, as well aspresent the material in a learning

They interject rigor into the curriculum bydeveloping thinking and problem-solving skills through integration and active learning. Bestpractices are applicable to all degree levels and provide the building blocks for instruction. Bestpractices motivate, engage and prompt students to learn and achieve.

Challenges was one of the first decisionswe made in revising this course. The Grand Challenges Scholars Program at FGCU had beenrecently approved, and an additional opportunity to further integrate the Grand Challenges intothe Engineering curriculum and promote the opportunity to encourage students to participate inthe scholars program was seen to be a positive. Furthermore, the Grand Challenges offered aplatform onto which almost any faculty across the College could integrate their areas of expertiseto the class. However, because we wanted the projects to remain student-driven, we didn’t wantto immediately present the Grand Challenges to the students and force their research into aspecific area.

This model allows for deepening understanding of each topicand the application of more sophisticated mathematical methods – such as complex analysis,differential equations, integral transforms, matrix methods, and linear algebra – as the students’mathematics preparation progresses

Outcome FrequencyIntroductionFirst-year programs nationwide typically feature an introductory curriculum featuring a semesteror yearlong “Introduction to Engineering” course or sequence. Examining a number of thesecourses shows that the content can vary significantly. For example, one course could focus onMATLAB programming while another course could emphasize technical communication. Mostcourses are a combination of these topics to varying degrees; therefore, an NSF-sponsoredproject to classify these courses was conducted which resulted in the First-Year Introduction toEngineering Course Classification Scheme.1 This taxonomy allows programs or instructors toquantify the content of their course(s) using the scheme.
