education classes take a case study approach. This paper will describe the implementation of this hybrid GE/senior project course and will present the assessment of the first year of this program’s implementation. Introduction In January 2013, the California State University Board of Trustees mandated that, unless excepted, undergraduate degree programs, including engineering degrees, be limited to 120 units. Title 5 § 40508 [1] states that “[a]s of the fall term of the 2014-2015 academic year, no baccalaureate degree programs shall extend the unit requirement beyond 120 semester units…” This mandate and short timeline for implementation necessitated swift action for proposals to be submitted and approved via campus curriculum committees and

design.However, some educators have described an important empathic requisite or antecedent:designers must adopt a user-centric mindset. For example, Postma et al. discussed moving designstudents from an “expert” mindset, where the designer thinks they know best, to a “participatory”mindset, where the designer perceives their self and user(s) both as experts.48 Forming thismindset is important, as student designers who hold an expert mindset tend to exclude theirproject partner throughout a design process.49 Hence, educators ought to prompt students to thinkabout engineering with a user as opposed to for a user12,50 as this may catalyze the utilization ofempathy while simultaneously alleviating absolutist/positivistic biases.414.2 Service

WhenEC 2000 abandoned credit-hour bean counting, the language shifted to require “adequateattention and time” for general education subjects (while retaining numerical requirements of ayear for fundamental science and math courses and a year and a half of engineering content).Nevertheless, regardless of whether one casts EC 2000’s advancements for liberal education ofengineers as meager, incremental, or transformative, there is no doubt that the current proposedchanges, by omitting the requirement of “adequate attention and time” for educational breadth,drops the floor on well-rounded education of engineers. This change threatens to send thecountry back not just 20 years to the 1990s before EC 2000, but more than

The obdurate habit of over-specification cansimply manifest itself in different ways—although we ought to consider in the same light TF-3’s ownrecommendation to include within Criterion 3 only those outcomes that can be reliably achieved.11As already alluded to above, what stymies effective solutions in engineering education is hardly limited tothe disciplinary habits and boundaries of engineering; the reasons go back to the structure of U.S.educational institutions and the engineering profession itself. With regards to the latter, engineers shouldstop worrying that theirs is somehow an incomplete profession. Sociologists

Both require the viewerto understand the exact words or depictions (signifiers) while also “reading between the lines” tointerpret indirect meanings embedded in the sign. Signifieds, for example, can include sarcasm,irony, absurdity, double entendre, or other implied meanings. These meanings can only beunderstood through the reader’s awareness both of the social context and of the fact that thesignifiers are not intended to stand alone.Signs are only interpretable with knowledge of social context; cartoons therefore require viewersto understand the norms and debates in the

As noted earlier, focus groups are most useful for exploring or confirming a topic. Because of the small sample size, they do not provide statistical projections or lend themselves to causal analysis.

, those communities are more likely to be impactedby fund depletion, often in locations where there is already less funding of education than in lessdiverse, more affluent communities.Case StudyBy the early 2000s, the public school systems in Louisiana had been in decline for quite sometime with issues ranging from academically unacceptable scholastic achievement to high dropoutand poor graduation rates. The public school systems in New Orleans prior to Katrina consistedof roughly 65,000 students spread among ~4,000 teachers with a predominantly (~93%) blackpopulation. The term ‘white flight’ was coined in the mid 1900’s to represent the drain of whitefamilies from inner city to suburban neighborhoods after desegregation. In the late 80’s to
