As shown in Figure 4, this result shows that students not using the newcurriculum had a lower commitment to engineering at the end of the semester. This suggests thatthe new curriculum for both In- and Out-of-Sequence students may provide needed careersupport. This may be attributable to the design of the laboratories themselves, which focus onauthentic problems and require deliverables which are specific to the professional career contextof engineering.References[1] Crippen, K.

Integrated Class-Lab Approach to a Mechanics of Materials CourseIntroductionA Mechanics of Materials course offers rich opportunities for new theoretical understandings,development of laboratory skills, and small design projects. The three-year old Campbell Schoolof Engineering is promoting a class-lab approach in most of its courses. A traditional four creditlaboratory course might meet for three hours per week of lecture/recitation in a large section and2-3 hours per week of lab in smaller sections. In contrast, the class-lab meets for the sameamount of time but does not distinguish between lab and lecture time. In our case, we meet insections of 24 students in a room with six four-person tables surrounded by laboratory
