For example, the jar test experiment encourages students to considercreative methods of purifying water. Additional activities and supplementary material weredeveloped to further engrain the connection between engineering and the humanities.3.1 Semester ProjectWhile students explore solutions to global problems through the algae experiments, they will beasked to think about how these solutions can work for countries around the world. At thebeginning of the curriculum, students will be broken into small groups and each group will beassigned a country. Students will be responsible for researching demographic, political, andeconomic

In our estimates we account for year and state fixed effects and control for a limitedvector of state-level covariates (racial composition of residents and the total number of graduatesin the state). We cluster standard errors by state. We emphasize that our methods are not suited forcausal inference, i.e., we cannot whether concentration affects the diversity of engineering degreeproduction.

. Student teams generate as many concepts aspossible through methods such as brainstorming, mind mapping [27], or C-Sketch [28]. In theexample EDT, students are given a handout that presents relevant background about heat,temperature, and heat transfer. In groups of four, they use brainstorming methods to generatesketches of at least three possible storage devices that fit the parameters of the design challenge. Once several concepts are generated, the best one is selected based on evaluation criteria.During stage three, teams use engineering techniques to select the best concept from the previousstage and construct an argument for their best design. The methods used during this stageencourage students to move from “tinkering” to authentic

Almost allmobile phones run either Android OS, or iOS. So, these were the platforms that the applicationsought to support. With these requirements in mind, it became evident that Unity [19], a popularcross-platform game engine, was an ideal environment to use to develop this application.
