negative correlation between the perception of importance and perception ofpreparation possibly could be explained by noting that the data from Table 6 seems to generallyindicate some connection between perception of importance and recognized deficiency in aparticular outcome. For all considered ABET outcomes, all pre-importance percentagesare relatively high (i.e., above 58%) whereas the pre-preparation percentages are systematically © American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 2016 ASEE Conferencelow (i.e., below 40%). In other words, students tend to assign greater importance to skills thatthey need but do not have. With this observation in mind, it is reasonable to expect a

Interestingly, many students initially overlooked or at least undervalued the fact that music and other arts have very rich engineering applications; thus the goal of our work is to broaden students’ perspectives and inspire them to be open-minded as they look for innovative ways to apply their engineering skills.

, based on feedback from our industry partners and alumni, we saw that thestudents performed very poorly in software design. When they were tasked with writing a smallscript to accomplish a specific goal (e.g., computing the Fibonacci sequence), students performedjust fine. However, when given a larger design specification and asked to build a completeend-to-end system integrating both hardware and software, students did not even know where tobegin. Some might argue that those skills should belong only to computer scientists, but that issimply a fallacy. For the vast majority of engineering professions today, good programmingskills are no longer an option but a prerequisite.With these insights in mind, we designed a sophomore-level course that
