harsh criticism that needs to be explored as we continue to explorethe data and collect more responses is the perception of recruitment fallout. Numerous facultyexplored the possible recruitment advantages of disadvantages the FYE courses have introducedinto the college. Among some faculty, the FYE courses appear to have an electrical andcomputer engineering focus, possibly due to the Matlab programming requirements andextensive use of Arduino microcontroller technology throughout the project components of thecourse. While the curriculum has been crafted given input from all departments and hasexplicitly included elements from departments that may feel more disadvantaged by the choiceof programming elements, the long-term effects on enrollment

specifically, differ from truly fundamental subjects.Mechanics is closer to engineering applications, unlike subjects such as mathematics, physics,chemistry, biology, astronomy and geography. It is distinct from the purely technological areasbecause of its strict system of logic. Due to this, and partly because of the large number ofconcepts and formulas that the students need to learn, MOS has been regarded as one of the mostdifficult undergraduate courses at Rutgers University. This can be validated by a two-tail t-testwith an α=.05 comparing the average D,W,F percentage spanning ten semesters for MOS at30.1% which was determined to be statistically significantly higher than any other courseofferings from the department with the next closest average

We present a case study in which three faculty members fromdiverse disciplines, including engineering, computer science, and political science, guided a teamof students from the Bachelors in ISAT (Integrated Science and Technology) program at JamesMadison University for a two-year capstone experience spanning the students’ junior and senioryears. The paper describes the overarching pedagogy and goals of the two-year ISAT capstoneexperience and describes how the ISAT “Holistic Problem Solving Habits of Mind” are integralto our teaching and mentoring approach in applied projects.

increasingly employed over the years asproviding a means to overcome the shortfalls of traditional “chalk and talk” delivery of engineering content.Engineers in their profession must not only be technically excellent in the fundamentals of their discipline,but they are also in an environment which is full of uncertainty, has a series of competing demands andethical dilemmas, necessitates excellent communication skills to work across multiple disciples and requireskeeping up with continual changes to technology and the workplace. In recognition of the ways in whichthe traditional approaches were not preparing students for success in this environment, in 2003, Mills &Treagust [1] defined six critical issues that needed to be addressed in changing
energy for those left in the dark,and to use technology to help people in need. We strive to develop solutions for areas withlimited grid power. The goal of the Alternative Energy Club is to incorporate alternative sourcesof energy into practical engineering applications and projects. One of the current projects is tobuild a solar powered car to race in the American Solar Challenge.6. AssessmentBoth formative and summative assessments were conducted. At the beginning of each lecture orlab activity, questions related to the previous lesson were asked and reflected upon. Studentswere also given opportunities to address issues that they felt they did not quite understand.Discussion then took place to explore reasons for lack of understanding. This
