As students matriculate, one of the main skills that engineering collegegraduates obtain from their education is the ability to efficiently and effectively solve a problem[17] . When students with pre-college engineering exposure enter the college engineeringclassroom, they may experience the tension of trying to reconcile previous experiences withthose taught in college [1]. Regardless of their previous experience, there has been an increasingfocus on encouraging design exploration and reducing fixation [18] while also teaching students tobetter integrate mathematical

An introductoryprogramming course utilizing an embedded platform is the first course in the sequence. Thefinal course in the sequence requires students to design, build, and test an autonomous mobilerobot. Through a series of milestones, students systematically complete both the hardware andembedded software tasks required for the project. The final milestone

One method places emphasis on integrating safetythroughout the entire core curriculum within mini design projects mainly through student self-learning. The topics are then reinforced within the capstone courses during senior year.

In data- and content-focused fields and disciplines, suchas those in STEM, it is difficult to integrate different forms and genres of writing into upper-levelundergraduate courses due to time constraints and concerns about coverage. Writing is seen as aseparate intellectual process because there are a limited number of courses taken as corerequirements from Humanities and Social Sciences, and many courses and writing programs donot demonstrate overt connections to STEM epistemologies.
