: theengineering curriculum must be expanded beyond technical skills to develop students’proficiencies in those skills traditionally considered “soft”; i.e. leadership, project management,teamwork, and communication (5).In chartering the Engineer of 2020 project, the NAE’s primary goal was to develop a curriculum Page 14.150.2framework that would provide engineers with the necessary skill set to “overcome futurechallenges” (15). This combination of skills will require engineers to integrate technicalknowledge with practical ingenuity to identify problems and develop solutions.

This is supported by the seven different elective courses listed in the surveyresults. The low and high hours did not change between the required and elective courses.However, the average hours changed slightly between required and elective courses and did notchange by more than 1 hour. It is interesting to note that more hours are mapped with BOK 5.4and 5.5 than with the electives. Finally, BOK 5.2 (Identify the modes of failure) and 5.3(Explain the significance of uncertainties) are the lowest mapped criteria.Table 3. Survey Data – Required Courses (All Respondents

The project needed to be practicalenough to demonstrate in a game. As the teams developed the projects from concept and movedtowards implementation, they also needed to think about what and how to design anddemonstrate the project objectives in their game. In other words, teams were not designing agame totally independent of the subject matter involved in their project. Their project needed tosupport the course learning objective(s) – so this becomes an integrated approach. The gamesapproach also bring in some ‘randomness

The main objective of theinstructional module generated by instructors must be to ensure that the subject matter content iseffectively integrated with the presentation format (Grasha, 1990, 1996). In other words, thetask in front of the instructor would be to blend the content and presentation in theory as well aspractice (Gagne, 1992; Briggs, 1991).

responsibility for their own learning. Educators call this traditional method, “instructor-centered teaching.” In contrast, “learner-centered teaching” occurs when instructors focus on thelearner and authentic problems rather than on the structured analysis of the curriculum content(Blumberg 2008, Gunderman et al. 2003). If teacher’s primary focus is covering the content,students respond by memorizing the material with limited understanding. If the students are theones doing hard and messy work, then the understanding is deeper (Weimer, 2013).
