This requires that theteacher has certain strengths, abilities and methodologic preferences. On the other side, notbeing a traditional educational approach, students are not familiar with these dynamics whichcan generate uncertainty on the process. Furthermore, for a learning method to work, it must beappropriated by the students and it must be suitable on the topic that is being thought; CBL canbe very effective for certain students or areas, but possibly not for everybody, nor for a wholeuniversity career [5].This means that the process must be mediated from a co-creation perspective where thecommunity has an active role

What isstriking about this desired form recognition is that Rebecca sought to pursue a professional career in acareer outside of engineering following her graduation. Yet, being labeled as an engineer providedRebecca with an important form of belonging that connected with her core form of personal identity.However, Rebecca also sought to maintain “a good social life” while achieving high performance.

For these youngest elementary school students, the focus is not on career education so much as it is toward problem solving, creativity, working with others--in point of fact--engineering habits of mind [7]. Multiple approaches to engineering curricula for younger students have emerged in the last ten years [7] [8] [9] [10] Some lean on robotics, some on LEGO, but two in particular place their engineering problems in the context of stories. EIE [8] and Novel Engineering [10] use story books (custom or trade) to provide context for the youngest of engineering investigators.

purpose of this paper is to recommend adapting new pedagogical methods to theaccepted topics in an introductory probability and statistics course for engineeringundergraduates—methods that better match the learning characteristics of Millennial students inour courses. In a nutshell, those characteristics may be summarized as: (1) They want relevanceto their major, and future engineering career; (2) They want rationale (for the textbook selected,and for specific course policies and assignments); (3) They revel in technology (to collect data,compute, communicate, and multi-task); (4) They want a relaxed, hands-on environment; (5)They prefer instructors who rotate among several classroom delivery methods.Considering the “Five R‟s” learning
