It is commonly used in writing andusually given in one the following three forms: 1) breaking up an assignment into smallerassignments, 2) keeping assignment constant but increasing the difficulty of materials, or 3)creating a scaffold within a single assignment. 3 The levels of learning based

Additionally, women made up only about 12% of the workforcein engineering, in 2013 (McCauley-Bush). In a Leanin.org and McKinsey study, on average,women are promoted and hired at lower rates than men, so far fewer women become seniorleaders. At more senior levels, we see women shift from line to staff roles, so very few end upon the path to becoming CEO, and women remain underrepresented in the corporate pipeline.Women are 46% of the entry level workers, yet make up only 19% of the C-suite, at the highestlevels of executive leadership (Leanin.org, 2016).

The modular, onlinenature of the course allows for continuing evolution.The course redesign was informed by a desire to explicitly incorporate a BroadEngineering perspective by exploring the diverse challenges engineers will face in the21st century and examining the knowledge, skills and abilities required to meet thesechallenges. This broad perspective is analogous to the horizontal bar of the T-shapedskills model introduced by David Guest in 1991 [1]. The concept of the “T-Shaped”Engineer is concisely explained in Rogers and Freuler [2]. The value of broadengineering was recently reaffirmed by students
