. While novel programs in engineering educationbegan receiving NSF funding in the 1970s 6, the early 1980s saw increased support forengineering as a field separate from the other sciences. In 1980, NSF’s education directorate wasdisbanded as part of the “Reagan Revolution.” However, in 1986, a National Science BoardTask Force report discussed the crucial need for quality faculty and instruction in STEM fields atthe undergraduate level, which would enable graduates to contribute to the STEM industry. This“Neal Report” charged the NSF to create a set of funding programs that would improve STEMeducation by recruiting quality faculty and students, developing innovative curricula, andimproving laboratories 7.

processeswhich occur in capstone design courses and guides analysis of a student’s ability to communicatethe process of engineering design. In this framework the design process is completed in fivesteps: 1) A student’s initial learning occurs through interactions with the faculty and teaching assistants (experts) in a social setting- the design class or lab. This type of learning is collective and public and represented by Quadrant #1. Students first seek to understand the design process and their project through social interactions in the classroom, laboratory, or within a team. 2) Next the team analyzes the design project and breaks it down to component tasks. At this stage students become individually responsible for particular

TUES program solicitation explicitlysupports such aims.The purpose of this analysis is to study NSF’s Transforming Undergraduate Education in STEM(TUES) program to understand the engineering education community’s views on transformationand change. TUES and its predecessor, Course, Curriculum and Laboratory Improvement(CCLI), have been an influential and substantial source of funding for U.S. undergraduate STEMeducation change since 199015. For example, CCLI’s emphasis on project evaluation, coupledwith outcomes-based assessment driven by ABET’s EC2000 criteria, is a strong example of howpolicy can influence practice in engineering higher education.

complex problems that canbe solved by applying the desired content. Many of the modules that came out of VaNTH’sresearch and curriculum development endeavor3, 7, 12 exemplify this approach. For example,Linsenmeir et al. 11, challenged students to determine “how much food is needed by an astronautper day for a two week space mission in order to satisfy metabolic demands and not gain or loseweight” (p. 213). In this case, students that learned the content in the context of the challengingproblem were better able to apply the concepts to novel situations and more engaged than thosestudents that received more traditional instruction and laboratory activities.

Using an application-oriented, hands-onproblem-based learning approach, it replaced traditional math prerequisite requirements for theaforementioned core courses in order for students to advance in the curriculum without firstcompleting a traditional first-year calculus sequence.

Both course completion rates and withdrawals are worse inSTEM courses [22], particularly in lower level STEM courses [23]. A lack of engagement andlower successful completion rates have been shown in online physics courses [24] as reported byMurphy and Stewart. Murphy and Stewart used eight years of data with 3,032 students tocompare face-to-face lecture courses with three semesters of a hybrid course with online lecturesand face-to-face laboratories. They found that there was a 11% lower successful completion rate(A/B/C) for students in the hybrid course compared to the solely face-to-face course. Thesefindings in STEM courses are
