An engagedstudent is more likely to have short-term goals such as an intention to participate in an internshipprogram or long-term goals such as intentions to pursue graduate studies or move into the technicalworkforce. Tutoring sessions, field trips, and research projects have been introduced to theundergraduate engineering student's curriculum ostensibly to increase engagement. Peerdiscussions in undergraduate courses have helped develop the personal and social skills to thrivein an engineering major. Peer discussions seem to enhance student learning compared with coursesthat do not allow peer discussions [2]. Capstone projects serve as a great

describe their experience with engineering design, juniorengineering students often refer to their cornerstone design course but not to their second andthird year coursework. This means that students do not recognize their analytical training as anecessary part of their design preparation. Despite this disconnect, these students are expected topull their analysis training together with their first year design experience to successfullycomplete a capstone design project in their senior year. Based on this, we assert that designlearning needs to be enhanced to integrate seemingly disparate pieces of design knowledge andskills. Empirical evidence supports this assertion.2A proven way to enhance learning is to engage students in their own learning
