Physics also consistently graduates the smallest percentageof female undergraduate majors granted than any of the other sciences (one-fifth of all bachelor’sdegrees awarded to women as of 2014) [6]. At the same time, studies on lower-income studentsand students of color have indicated that a physics curriculum which focuses on the students’future identity--including future career identity--improves the degree to which they identify withand participate in science.

“relevant employability skills… before graduation.” In this case, employabilityskills are skills employers look for in potential hires that can serve as a metric for evaluatingperformance [2]. Due to the broadness of the term “employability skills” there is no definitive list ofwhich employability skills students are to gain, or what skills are to be transferred. Thismakes skill development difficult to track. There is, however, an expectation for co-opstudents to perform according to a standard. Competency lists exist for engineering bodiesand curriculums (such as CEAB and ABET) that schools adhere to. This gives programdirectors a focal point to develop curriculums around and a list of skills can then emerge.Even with these lists and the

This means that exams are 50-minutes long. In thisversion of the course a total of 10 class periods out of 40 were reserved for examinations. Thismeans that in-class instruction is reduced by 20% over a traditional course. To achieve this, thelecture material was modified to be more efficient and worked example problems were providedto students outside of class.

Although the intention behind the separation of domains was to facilitate abetter understanding of the learning process, an unfortunate consequence was that most of thework in curriculum development has taken place exclusively in the cognitive domain, except forsome compelling research support for the inseparability of the domains, especially betweencognitive and affective components [9]. The body of knowledge related to neuroscience,cognitive science, the social and behavioral sciences, and psychology shows that emotion andcognition interact to facilitate focused attention and decision making [10] [11] [12] and thatcognitive knowledge directs the execution of our movements or performances (motor-skills), andvice versa [12].
