My interest in physics is an important part that identifies me. 3 In physics class, my grades are better than those of my classmates. I can see how the physics skills that I am currently developing will be useful in my 4 professional career. I see being able to communicate effectively using physics arguments I am taught as an 5 important skill to have. 6 The ways of thinking being taught to me in physics will remain with me long after I graduate. The formal and rigorous aspects that I have learned in physics classes are important for my 7 future professional career. 8 Physics classes are needed for other courses in my future studies. 9 It is important to learn physics to find a better job. 10 Physics

integratingthese fundamentals with Hi-Tech courses never face obsolescence. Theauthor has been involved in this art of integration for the last three decadesand has witnessed several hundreds of his students achieved high success intheir careers. The mantra in the classroom has been only those students whosuccessfully integrate fundamentals in Hi-Tech courses become wise, elsethey remain otherwise. My earnest attempt has been to place all of mystudents into the category of ‘wise’.AcknowledgementI wish to thank my administration as well as the administration of regionalHi-tech industries for supporting me in these educational endeavors. I wantto especially thank the industries who have made a long term commitmentfor Instructional Processing and Research

outstanding instructional performance. Scott specializes in machine design, vibrations, and controls. He started his career at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez in the traditional role of teaching and administering a modest research program. At Trine University, a small private school in Angola, Indiana, Scott taught ten different courses from introductory freshman courses to senior design, while serving as advisor to many undergraduate research projects. For the last seven years, Scott has been at York College of Pennsylvania where his concentration is on undergraduate education in mechanical engineering.Taylor Schmidt c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019Implementation of A

school to undergraduate school. During this time, physics can become the enemy ofacademic growth, especially when it is seen as too difficult to understand and when students feelit is a necessary evil to endure for academic credit. This feeling is most prevalent among studentswho had an unqualified or un-engaging teacher or went to a school that lacked appropriateexperimental facilities. There is also a big discussion among educators that the inadequacies inmathematic skills of freshmen students suppress the quality of physics education. Since 1990, the“physics first” movement [2] is working extremely hard to rebuild a strong physics curriculum atpublic high schools.Our Institution is offering career focused education through seventeen bachelor

of BME topics and their motivation to learn BME related content were classified as very important. All students reported that they felt that the information provided by the BME course would be very important to their future career.• Learning Strategy – Critical Thinking: In terms of learning BME related topics, students reported many strategies that require critical thinking. They reported that developing their own ideas based on course content and evaluating the evidence before accepting a theory or conclusion was preferred. They also reported questioning what they read or hear in class and thinking or possible alternatives.• Learning Strategy – Self- Regulation: Students reported using many effective self

students of alldisciplines. Employers often indicate that effective communication skills are one of the mostimportant attributes of a potential employee. Possessing solid communication skills isparticularly important for students aspiring to technical careers such as those involved in physicsand engineering. The application of writing-based approaches in the classroom can help toimprove students’ communication skills.The current study was, in part, motivated by changes currently underway to the GeneralEducation Program at American University. As a result of these changes to the program, a newset of learning outcomes were created and courses aspiring to be included in the programofferings were tasked with making innovative changes to both the
