These new objectivesresulted in the inclusion of the discourse on sustainability and social learning and an in-depthdiscussion of integrative skills (a.k.a. “soft” skills).The New First-Year CourseLater we developed a first-year course with a theme of sustainability, APSC 176: EngineeringCommunication. Its objectives are to provide students with research, critical thinking andadvanced communication skills necessary for success in the study and practice of globalengineering.We believe that a first-year communication course is uniquely positioned for integratingeducation on sustainability (ESD) with graduate attributes.

The focus of this course will be taking students through the first half of the Engineering Design Cycle. Classroom discussions will focus on the engineering design process including needs identification, system requirements, system design process and engineering ethics. Additional lectures will center on

ledby the education director of ASSIST and including faculty representative from each engineeringdepartment at the University. This minor requires 18 credit hours, which includes a junior levelrequired introductory course, three technical electives, and two general education electivesemphasizing diversity, ethics, and global issues. The technical electives come from a variety ofengineering departments and taught by faculty performing research in nanoscience andtechnology. Students are required to choose at least one technical elective outside of their homedepartment. From their preliminary evaluation results of their introductory course indicates thatstudents’ attitude toward nanoscience and technology is positive. Students from

engineering (e.g., teamwork, communication, ethics, inclusiveness anddiversity, new ideas/business development). The development of these professional skills arealso integrated into all courses within the curriculum.Curriculum Design Approach We are using a combination of instructional systems and the “Backwards Approach (BA)”to design GalvanizeU/UNH curricula. As a field, instructional design is historically andtraditionally rooted in cognitive and behavioral psychology, though recently constructivism(learning theory) has influenced thinking in the field. Instructional Systems Design (ISD) orsimply instructional design8 is the practice of creating "instructional experiences which make theacquisition of knowledge and skill more efficient

total number of students in the electronic sort. Students not sortedby the algorithm are accounted for in a numeric difference between the two assignmentprocedures. If the overall agreement was 50% or greater, then the assignment algorithm wasconsidered a refinement. In general, the natural subjectivity of the DMs in addition to criteria notaccounted for in the algorithm, such as the work ethic of students, would result in deviationsbetween the objective automatic assignment and the manual assignment. Additionally, thisalgorithm was never designed to generate a finalized output. Instead, it was develop to serve as aplatform to improve the efficiency of the assignment process. Further modifications by each DMwas expected after they receive the
