curriculum that can be used to practice deepconceptual learning and the higher stages of Bloom’s Taxonomy, therefore improving theirretention, application, and creative problem solving. A narrative arc is defined here as a student’sability to form a cohesive net of concepts, reasonings, and relationships that can be explainedwithout using formulae as a crutch. While being able to apply and understand mathematicalformulae is an invaluable tool for students, too often courses rely solely on the evaluation of themathematical formulae related to concepts instead of emphasizing the conceptual definitions andrelationships. This imbalance results in students being weak in the areas of explaining why andhow things happen using words and unable to formulate

These suggest the importance of both (1)providing students with an early integrative foundation to allow them to make informeddecisions in choosing an engineering discipline and to effectively navigate through their degreeprogram and (2) offering more complex, hands-on experiences that are aligned with solvinghigh-impact problems. Introducing these changes in the curriculum is expected to both providestudents with the tools needed to address tomorrow’s cross-disciplinary global

Thispreliminary study focuses on electrostatics content in a junior level electromagnetism course inan Electrical Engineering (EE) program. Students find electromagnetism to be one of the mostdifficult courses in the upper-level EE curriculum. Electromagnetics is difficult for students tolearn due to the required competency with vector calculus. Topics are especially challenging toteach without tangible applications [3].The authors created an active learning environment within a junior-level Electromagneticscourse by utilizing in-class tutorials with an electronic response system.

This paper describes how the department is implementing a newpedagogical and organizational model in which the curriculum is no longer treated as a set ofdisparate courses taught in unconnected pieces, but as an integrated system that fosterscollaboration among faculty and students. Calling for a holistic view of the ECE degree, theteam’s approach is novel because they are, in effect, throwing away courses, yet their vision canbe realized within the structural barriers inherent in higher education.In a discipline known for being rigorous and inherently abstract, ECE faculty are stepping out oftheir traditionally autonomous roles to bolster retention by approaching the undergraduateengineering degree as a complex system
