courses. Astatke etal.1 investigated how a physical understanding of mathematics can be taught to students in a pre-calculus course. Cardella and Atman2 have studied how engineering students use mathematics inan engineering capstone design course. Students in the study used mathematics as a tool, as aproblem solving method, and also as a way to describe physical problems.Spatial-reasoning measures have also received attention in the literature because of the importancein determining academic success in engineering. Devon, Engel, and collegues3,4 determined thatthe students’ ability to rotate and transform geometric objects in three-dimensional space is relatedto graduation and retention patterns in engineering programs.

Othertopics that are touched on over the course of the semester include intellectual property, dataacquisition and engineering graphics. The course itself consists of two class meetings per weekwith one class meeting focused upon content reinforcement through active learning strategiessuch as think-pair-share, group discussions and case studies. The second class meeting isprimarily focused upon the design project and includes lab based experiments, data analysis andgroup discussions.Course grades for the Freshman Engineering course include a variety of lab based assignments inconjunction with the semester long design project (literature review, lab reports, final

because “everything's very tied together and it's better to have a wide base of knowledge.”Within engineering contexts, Caleb recognized reflection as necessary to making sure projectsteps were documented and that students were reflecting on how they have grown through aproject because it is one of the things he has been asked to do in his classes. When asked abouthis fellow students’ reactions to professors prompting students to reflect, he said, “when it comesto non-engineering things, I’ve certainly witnessed if not experienced it myself, why are wedoing this.” Caleb suggested students tend to focus on the end product rather than the means andprocesses of a project. He hypothesized this focus on the end product, could be related to someof the

recognized as essential for spurring positiveattitudes and action [37] and igniting deep personal growth and self-actualization [38], [39], [40].Contextual Awareness (Picture Making)The ability to maintain a mental model of a current situation and then contextualize newsituations was a heavily emphasized behavior observed across the resilience literature. Writingabout cognitive processes and situational awareness related to aviation human factors, Endsley’sdefinition of situational awareness in aviation operating environments provided a foundation tocontext-driven awareness: “The perception of the information in the environment within avolume of time and space, the comprehension of their meaning and the projection of their statusin the near future

the purpose of major advising is to assist the student intheir journey from high school graduate to competent entry-level technical professional. Theexemplar advisor engages in dialogue with the student, providing a perspective of the academicprogram as a process of socialization into the profession, rather than a series of disconnectedcourse requirements.In other words, the advisor’s job is to help the students understand what it means to be anengineer. Rather than relegating the professional issues to the capstone project or the internship,it is the goal of the advisor to facilitate the student’s learning about what is the role of anengineer in society, why is the entire curriculum necessary to produce the kind of engineer theinstitution is

institute in Singapore right after. She spent the next four years in developing navigation technologies for underwater robotics that were used to understand environmental issues in the coastal regions of Singapore. She was always interested in the education aspect of engineering that led her to take up a position as a lecturer in Singapore Polytechnic. Rubaina spent the next five years developing interdisciplinary engineer- ing courses, designing activities to promote engagement and motivation in the classroom and supervise students in their final year projects mainly in robotics. This led to her thinking about issues related to engineering education and pursuing a degree in education
