-technical skills, and applications of learned materialto realistic problems (Kirschner, 2004; Litzinger, Lattuca, Hadgraft, & Newstetter, 2011).Despite the recent integration of entrepreneurship into engineering education, the concepts andattitudes of entrepreneurship were not explored as part of an engineering educational experienceat the institution previously. Thus, it was important to find a venue where the implementation ofentrepreneurial content would not be too abrupt for the students and to implement the content insmall quantities that would be palatable to instructors and students. In other words, we felt itimportant to tread lightly and conduct a minimally-invasive study, which, of course, does preventany attempt at extensive

Comments such as “give me your curriculum,” “tell me what I need todo,” and “never mind the why; just tell me how” are commonplace in our experiences ofcurricular culture change [8]. These requests elide the necessity of context-appropriateadaptation, an integral part of curricular culture change.In contrast, our second frame acknowledges learning and culture transfer as a process ofsupported practice, sensemaking, and growth.

Agrowing body of data supports the conclusion that active learning is indeed superior to thetraditional lecture format, both in terms of student retention and student performance(Natl.Acad.Sci, 2009; AAAS, 2011; PCAST, 2012; Singer, 2012). Recent efforts at ColoradoSchool of Mines to integrate biology into our engineering curriculum have led to a revisedfoundational biology course that has rigor and relevance for our engineering students. The movefrom traditional lecture to an active learning environment was key in our efforts to engage ourstudents, with the intent of improving our students’ comprehension of biology. Our course re-design involved a three-pronged approach in which we: (1) renovated a classroom to create astudio environment with wet

IntroductionChoosing a major is a daunting task for many first-year college students, especially if the choicesspan fields with which students have little exposure and experience. It is estimated that 20 – 50%of first-year college students enter college as “undecided” about their major[7]. In order toprovide first-year engineering students time to discern, a set of resources and course activitieswere created and assessed in an introduction to engineering course. The results of two studies arepresented in this paper.The structure of the remainder of the paper is as follows.

performance related issues.The IEEE Software Engineering SE2014 document encourages software engineering programsto cover multiple forms of testing, ranging from unit tests through performance tests. Unittesting, at one extreme of this range, is easily taught as it focuses on small scopes and detailedfunctionality. Another type of testing, integration tests, can also be easily expressed based uponsequence diagrams. These two items must have deep coverage per the curriculum guidelines.However, at the other end of this spectrum is performance testing. Performance testing is muchharder to teach, while also needing much less coverage per the IEEE SE2014 guidelines.

The entire design is broken into major tasks, e.g., mass balance,kinetics and reactor design, separation, safety, and economics. The tutors develop specific tasksand goals (daily and overall) corresponding to these major tasks that the teams must meet.Additionally, during the second week, certain teams may be asked for more advanced designs, forexample, incorporating heat integration

Carlson believed that such anapproach, adopted across an entire curriculum, would develop in students “a fairly sophisticatedknowledge of what the campus has to offer in the way of information resources.” Of course, theidea of integrating library resources with regular engineering courses had been proposed bylibrarians before.[38]Although ASEE President Easton’s vision, which was clearly inspired by the Weinberg Report,may have alarmed some librarians, he apparently had no intention of putting them out ofbusiness. In fact, he needed their help
