preconceptions ofthe problem. This study needs to be repeated to overcome some of the study’s currentlimitations. However, the preliminary results do suggest that this approach could be useful tohelp new college students understand the integrative nature of engineering and gain a betterperception of the profession.ReferencesBowen, E., Prior, J., Lloyd, S., Thomas, S., & Newman-Ford, L.

used words werelearning, biology, and hands-on. Fortunately, the cultural climate of an institution changes asstudents graduate and new students arrive. Word of mouth spreads quickly and students havecome to understand that, despite the extra work required, they can expect a positive learningexperience in our studio classroom. What was new has become the norm as students engage withbiology in a more meaningful and thorough way.AAAS. (2011). Vision and Change: A Call to Action AAAS, Washington, DC.Allen, D., and Tanner, K.

. The symbol m represents mass (in kg) and v is velocity (m/s) so the units of KE are kg*(m/sec)2 or (kg m/sec2)*m = N*m = Joule = J. How much energy is in one joule? A 100-watt lightbulb uses 3.6 x 105 J in one hour (so a joule is pretty small in the grand scale of energy), so we typically work with kJ = 1000 J. Another commonly used unit of energy is the calorie (cal), originally defined as the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1°C but is now defined as 4.184 J (exactly) so a calorie is about
