However, counter to this principle, one study foundlecturers in humanities conceptualized critical reading very differently from their students.41Therefore, this leads to an area for further study within both disciplines.A specific concept of identity that is important in engineering is that of engineering identity.

The course is designed tointroduce the engineering approach to problem solving and the engineering design process,utilizing team-based learning. This is accomplished through an over-arching semester-longresearch project focused on discipline-specific engineering innovations. “Mini projects” are usedin this class to encourage student discovery of new technologies or innovations within their fieldof study as a means of helping them select an appropriate topic for their research project
