Leyden and Schneider recognize EC 2000’s Criterion 3 as an important driver in thechanges in FYC programs, and as an important factor within the culture/utility debate. They notethat of the 11 abilities specified for graduating engineers, only 4 of them are primarily technical.They divide the abilities in the following ways1: Engineering programs must demonstrate that their graduates have a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data

Students were expected to make substantial use of at least 8-10 sources in theliterature review. Most of these sources were the same as those cited in the annotatedbibliography, though it wasn’t unusual for a student to discard one or two sources and find newones between the annotated bibliography and the literature review.Structurally, the revised Research Sequence is identical to the old in terms of the goals of thethree assignments.

Although strong leadership commitment to diversity in STEM is critical, the authorssuggest that the support of faculty is even more critical to the success of diverse students in STEM,as faculty have significantly more one-to-one contact with the students on a daily basis, and overa longer period of time. Thus, it is critical to more adequately prepare faculty for this role throughdiversity and inclusion training, in order that they may engage and

Communities of practice are not immune to such paradoxes. Remaining on a learning edge takes a delicate balancing act between honoring the history of the practice and shaking free from it. This is often only possible when communities interact with and explore other perspectives beyond their boundaries.23Given that a community of practice is shaped primarily by its participants, if participants withinthe community are resistant to change, so will be the broader community of practice; practices –be they good or harmful – will
