students prefer challenge-based instruction tolecture pedagogy. From the perspective of education policy, we believe these results support theincreased incorporation of challenge-based modules in new and evolving biomedical engineeringclasses.1. Introduction:Engineering educators have the important task of preparing their students to apply thefundamental knowledge, obtained in the academy, to solve complex and diverse problems intheir field(s). To legitimize this student-centered goal, as well as hold accredited engineeringprograms accountable facilitating students’ development of technical and non-technical skillsnecessary for engineering practice, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) has maintained engineering student

The proposed project aimed at expanding the current effort of the CEDepartment at Cal Poly Pomona into offering interdisciplinary learning opportunities at theundergraduate level in an IPD project that fosters collaboration between students in the threetechnical areas. Through this project, 19 Architecture (A) students worked jointly with 12 CEstudents and 8 Construction Engineering Technology (CET) students on interdisciplinary designteams. The teams were assigned a problem statement to develop the design, and simulate theconstruction of an assigned case

Many also described that they felt that the current process forlicensure was sufficient, with a combination of an exam, formal education from aBachelor’s degree, and practical experience. Some elaborated that if one can pass theexam that should be sufficient evidence of competence, and another indicated that theexam could be made more rigorous if individuals were uncertain that the currentrequirements were
