All four majors at this institution require students totake a first-year projects course; across the many sections of the course, some of these projectsmay be service-learning (S-L), others are community contextualized, and some are purelytechnical exercises (like a Rube Goldberg machine).26 Additional introductory courses to themajor required in the first semester for architectural, civil, and environmental engineeringstudents contain an emphasis

It takes time to distribute materials at the beginning ofeach class and then clean up materials at the end of the bell. Longer bell schedules or blockschedules are generally preferable for project-based work. For some teachers, the barrier of time seems insurmountable. Others embrace this new wayof teaching, even after their time in the program comes to an end and they are no longer requiredto teach using challenge-based learning and engineering design. What makes the difference? Two factors emerge as teachers weigh the cost-benefit analysis to this new way of teaching.First, the selection of academic standard(s) to be addressed by the units, as well as

entrepreneurial mindset.IntroductionTechnical skillset alone is not sufficient for engineering students to address the societalchallenges. According to the 2015 National Academy of Engineering (NAE)’s report Educate toInnovate1, the development of critical thinking skills as well as an innovative and entrepreneurialmindset is equally important. In order to meet the needs of the global economy, besidesemphasizing technical skills, engineering curriculum should incorporate content and activitiesthat promote the entrepreneurial mindset and the best time to start this is during the freshmanyear. This, however, is not the same as teaching entrepreneurship or preparing entrepreneurs.According to Kriewall and Mekemson2, “an entrepreneurial minded engineer (i.e

In traditional electronics courses, teaching low-pass filters at this point do nottypically use the concept of transfer function and convolution to derive the low-pass relationshipbetween the input and the output of the filter. By incorporating Signals and Systems into the KImodule, we were able to allow the students to systematically and rigorously derive the input-output relationship of the low-pass filter using the concepts of impulse response and convolutionto gain a better understanding of its circuit behavior.

A 100-watt lightbulb uses 3.6 x 105 J in one hour (so a joule is pretty small in the grand scale of energy), so we typically work with kJ = 1000 J. Another commonly used unit of energy is the calorie (cal), originally defined as the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1°C but is now defined as 4.184 J (exactly) so a calorie is about
