Of these, 18 (41%) provided outcomes that wereinterpretable. We identified few large scale and multiple small scale studies. Broadly, there isevidence that K-12 engineering activities sometimes enhance science and mathematics learning,but this is dependent on effective integration, an issue that has been noted elsewhere [20]. Forinstance, students who participated in Project Lead the Way had

While the EPS method produceswell-posed problems with easily checked solutions, it unintentionally reinforces the worldviewthat engineering is value-free profession where the rigor of one’s technical analysis is moreimportant than the context in which engineering is practiced1. Recognizing this consequence, agrowing body of literature calls for changing engineering education to be more human-centeredthrough awareness of the limitations of purely technical solutions2-5.Changing one’s approach to teaching in this way poses big challenges: how to add ideas to anoverstuffed curriculum—particularly ideas that involve a disciplinary background different

To increase student engagement and provide an enriched learningenvironment that combines practical experiences with theoretical knowledge, an alternativeapproach to a flipped classroom was explored. With a senior and graduate mix of 28 students,roles in the Flight Vehicle Performance (FVP) course were partially flipped, as students wereasked to take ownership of their learning through two main efforts. First, integration of theMerlin Flight Simulator early in the course built off of previous use to provide a practicalexposure to the course material, even before it was presented in class. Second, the students wererequired to prepare lectures that cumulatively covered around 25% of the core course

By design, engineering analysis was developed in the mid-1990s to create a single unifiedcurriculum taught by engineering professors during the freshmen year, and this shift towardsengineering courses to freshmen was largely successful. At the time, the preparation level ofincoming students in math and physics was relatively uniform, and the curriculum wassufficiently advanced that the playing field was relatively even.The first three quarters of the EA sequence are required for all engineering majors.

While an introduction to Material Science and Engineering (MSE) course is part of thecore curriculum in many Engineering fields such as Mechanical and Chemical Engineering,many students often display a lack of interest in the subject matter, and struggle to see therelevance of the material to their Engineering field. To address this issue, the authors adopted aproject-based learning approach in two introductory material science classes. The goal is tostimulate interest in the subject matter by providing students with the opportunity to applyfundamental Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) principles learned in the classroom to amaterial of their choice and interest.

In undergraduateengineering degree programs, this is apparent from the relatively inflexible standard curricularpaths within any given major and the use of midterm and final exams as “go or no-go”measurement gauges to determine which “products” (students) are of sufficient quality to moveonto the next step (or class) in the assembly line of curricular requirements. An important aspectof this factory model is that colleges are systematically indifferent as to which students graduateand which go elsewhere since standardization of the process and objective assessments arepresumed to ensure fair treatment for all students.This paper integrates findings across student
