Yet, interdisciplinary engineeringalumni were more likely to select a non-engineering career pathway after graduation, such ascareers in the medical field, law, or business [3].Purpose of StudyThe purpose of this analysis was to explore the career pathways of alumni from BME, EnvE, andIDE/MDE programs and to understand how these alumni perceived their careers to be related toengineering. This preliminary analysis comes from a larger research project surveying the earlycareer pathways of

Previously taught in two separate first-yearcourses, the new Cornerstone course model blends programming and design in a way thatdemonstrates the intertwined nature of the two skills. The project-based Cornerstoneincludes occasional incongruent learning of course content. By highlighting the fact thatproblem-solving in engineering brings together groups of

PBL allows learners toengage with complex problems which require them to use and develop problem-solvingstrategies in collaborative groups [5]-[7].Problem-based Learning is also a student-centered approach to learning [6], [8]. In the PBLenvironment, the instructor serves as a guide as opposed to the purveyor of knowledge. Aslearners work together in collaborative groups, the instructor supports and facilitates the learners’knowledge construction through the problem-solving process. This complex learning approach,rooted in solving authentic problems, promotes higher-order thinking skills, cooperativeproblem-solving, and has as its goal the transition of the learner from novice to expert [9].

BACKGROUND AND MOTIVATIONBackgroundCurrently, there are numerous teaching and pedagogical methods that target student engagement,comprehension, and scholarship abilities in engineering education. One of the most prominent isknown as Project-based learning (PBL). PBL focuses on the application of knowledge rather thanthe acquisition of knowledge and its primary objective involves enhancing student comprehensionby incorporating project-based instruction [13], [19], [20]. An alternative instructional methodincorporated in engineering education is the implementation of visual cueing, which according toresearchers, is verified to increase retention rates in less time

attributed the ensuing difficultiesassociated with learning basic mechanics to the following factors: 1) insufficient mathematicalknowledge, 2) overall abstractness of the content, 3) students’ preconceptions of the content and4) the degree of logical precision required in problem solving [4-7]. To combat these factors,researchers have recommended the use of multiple representations of the concepts as well asopportunities for repeated practice [8]. Additionally, the use of technology-enabled tools hasbeen reported to significantly reduce the cognitive gap associated with learning fundamentalconcepts such as mechanics.The larger project from which this WIP is drawn is rooted in the belief that problem-solving isfoundational to engineering education
