The students were supported through a grant from the TexasEngineering Technology Consortium – Texas Workforce Development Commission.Careful attention was given to the composition of each team. A junior or senior levelengineering student was selected as the team leader for each team. The remainingstudents were taken from a pool of engineering freshmen, high school students, andcommunity college students. Of the 13 students supported, two were in high school,three were recent high school graduates, two were from Midland Community College (anarea community college), and seven were Texas Tech students.

courses, even when those courses aredirect prerequisites [2]. Concepts in one area of Electrical Engineering should reinforce conceptsin another area - they are inexorably interconnected [3]. Connections need to be fosteredthroughout the curriculum by the faculty in order for the engineering student to mature into afunctioning engineer [4]. Helping students to create a connected narrative arc of conceptsthroughout the curriculum facilitates deeper understanding of topics, increased critical thinking,and engineers who can approach problems from multiple angles. These qualities are increasinglyimportant for graduates who will become professional engineers, as the change in technology andmindset move at a much greater pace in industry than academia

, our efforts directly contribute to the achievementof overall student learning outcomes and program outcomes.Given the current challenges facing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics) education, it is our belief that any new teaching or assessment practice in STEMdisciplines should enhance students’ motivation. Therefore, it is beneficial to use onlineassessment for extra credit assignments. For example, if all questions are correctly answered, amaximum of 5% of extra credit can be obtained. Based on our experiment, students are highlymotivated in completing these online assignments. About 92% of the students finished allquestions, 6% finished part of the assignment, and only 2% did not start the assignment. This isnot only

For example, one group of students imagined their robot to simulate car technologythat would sense children in the parking lot of a playground who the driver could not see, and thecar technology could stop the car before it struck a child. Over the second half of the semester asstudents worked on the project, students were to continually think about how their programscontributed to society or to solving social problems, how they incorporated perspectives ofpotential clients into the design, and what creativity and critical thinking they brought to theproject. Through these labs, students highlighted the importance of engineering design-thinkingto both
