students “to disengage fromlearning situations” or to commit only to “the minimum amount of work that is needed to just getby” [13]. In view of these challenges, Ambrose and her colleagues recommend several strategiesdesigned “to increase the value that students place on the goals and activities” of a course [13].Among them are connecting course materials to “issues that are important to students” and to“real-world event[s]” and the needs of “an actual client in the community” [13]. Common tothese strategies is an emphasis on the real (or at least the simulation of reality). Reality conveysrelevance, which in turn persuades students that a course is worth the investment of time andresources required to facilitate deep learning. It would

The first component ofthis sequence, Engineering Methods, Tools, & Practice I (ENGR 110), is structurally analogousto the previously existing introductory course and is primarily focused on introduction to andpractice with fundamental engineering skills. The second component, Engineering Methods,Tools, and Practice II (ENGR 111), is a makerspace-based course primarily focused onapplication and

For example, Pitt may decide to make somerequired courses technical electives, in line with ASME Vision 2030’s suggestion for increasedcurricular flexibility. Likewise, CMU may decide to increase the flexibility of its curriculumeven further noting that other curricula (e.g., the MIT 2A curriculum) have substantially greaterflexibility. This method is transparent and adaptable by other universities as a first-step inanalyzing their own curricula.Challenges and limitations of this approach include the somewhat arbitrary separation ofengineering courses into Mechanical or non-Mechanical and the difficulty of categorizingcourses based on course descriptions alone.
