IBL has also been incorporated at the programmatic level, wherecurricula are built around inquiry-based learning techniques5, 6.

and integration13with an emphasis on conceptual understanding over a period of time14. The researchers were alsoconcerned with the way in which concept mapping has been used to evaluate interdisciplinaryknowledge integration and the manner in which instruction can play into that integration15. Ourmethod draws heavily from Shallcross’s16 methodology that targets semi-structured mappingactivities by single students in a short time frame. This affords an efficient deployment of conceptmapping within a course setting without being disruptive. Due to the exploratory nature of theproject and diversity of approaches taken within each section, the authors avoid assessing theconcept maps to an exemplar developed by an expert or a singular complexity

learning is the inclusion of student skills associated with anentrepreneurial mindset, such as integrating information from many sources to gain insight,conveying engineering solutions in economic terms, and identifying unexpected opportunities.The resulting entrepreneurially minded learning activities emphasize “discovery, opportunityidentification, and value creation with attention given to effectual thinking over causal(predictive) thinking” [3]. At Lawrence Tech approximately 75% of the engineering curriculum,including mathematics and general education, is being modified to include ACL, PBL, and EML.These courses span the curriculum and range from multidisciplinary Introduction toEngineering [6, 7] to junior level technical courses [8, 9] to

in undergraduate student retention. Where innovation spaces help foster entrepreneurship and industry partnerships, research spaces play an integral and direct role in classwork. They help turn the theoretical into the physical, and allow lower-level students to translate book learning into hands-on exploration and imagination along with the opportunity to help solve real-world challenges at both local and global scales. These spaces also encourage collaboration among students and faculty and help break down barriers both within the hierarchy of a single field and across engineering disciplines. For faculty, they also accommodate a growing interest in continuing research and engaging with students in hands-on work to complement

These are the additional outcomes that can beachieved through custom design. Soldering skills are another additional outcome. Using a custom board designed for studentsto assemble in lab provides an extended period of time to improve surface mount and throughhole soldering skills. It is still possible to integrate soldering into a course using a commercialPLD board by giving students an add-on board to assemble. This may be a convenient alterna-tive to achieve the same goal.
