In order to limit the space of exploration in the varied engineering curricula,the data analysis skills described by Criterion 3.b were tied to either 1) Laboratory courses or 2)Statistics courses. The first were expected to cover the design and execution of experiments,while the latter were expected to cover skills to analyze and interpret data. While it isacknowledged that these abilities are

explanations [9]. However, thefield of engineering has not yet established a clear idea of what “disciplinary engagement”means.Engineering at its core is about creating solutions to problems using mathematics, science, andcreativity through a design process. The engineering curriculum reflects this by containingdifferent types of courses that teach the mathematical models of natural phenomena (i.e.engineering science courses, or technical core courses), laboratory and experimental techniquesand processes (i.e. lab courses), and fundamentals of engineering design (i.e. design courses).These courses all ask students to engage disciplinarily in different ways, all in support of theoverall practice of engineering to create new solutions.

Thesemethods/approaches are known to increase students’ active engagement in learning and alsopromote cognitive elaboration, enhance critical thinking, and contribute toward social andemotional development.

In essence, active learning requires doing meaningful learning activities in groups underthe guidance of an informed and experienced teacher. As stated by Christensen et al (1), “To teachis to engage students in learning.” The main point is that engaging students in learning isprincipally the responsibility of the teacher, who becomes less an imparter of knowledge andmore a designer and a facilitator of learning experiences and opportunities.

engineering graduates relies not only ontraditional subject material, but increasingly on the development of skills for utilizing thisknowledge in a creative and innovative manner. A capstone design course requires senior-levelstudents to apply knowledge gained from previous engineering science, design and laboratorycoursework in accomplishing an extended design task. It is the hope of any engineeringinstructor that the capstone design sequence facilitates the student’s transition from an academicto an industrial environment. The capstone design course sequence also provides an opportunityto teach and allow students to apply some important topics not covered in traditional engineeringscience or laboratory courses, such as ethics, teaming, technical
