This modelfocuses more on what is it taught (contents and topics of different subjects), and less on whatstudent will be able to do and how will be able to use acquired knowledge and skills in his or herprofessional life after graduating the program.To switch the traditional focus from teaching to learning is not easy since it implies theassumption of new curriculum concepts that should lead and assure an effective learning [7].It is worth noting, for example, that in some Latin American countries where academic

Both women and men had a near equaltendency to request a more integrated curriculum that includes utilizing the makerspace intoassignments, as a direct function of these students valuing making as an integral part ofengineering. For example, Waldo, a white man, discussed his idea to better integrate making intothe curriculum. We do have students coming in from a handful of classes that want to use the printers for their projects, but it's not as integrated into the curriculum as I think it should be. That's something we're definitely working on. Talking to professors saying, ‘Hey

Onechallenge lies with the content itself and the second challenge lies in a core aspect of the teachingphilosophy.What about the content is challenging to convey online? The essence of ENE 506 is the abilityto align various aspects of curricular design into one unified whole. The goal is for students tosee how aspects of what is learned (content) map to how to measure learning (assessment) andhow students practice that learning (pedagogy). This process, which is at the heart of the course,is a very holistic, integrated, iterative process. However, the learning
