In [1], two academic factors are identified that impact studentretention in engineering programs, namely: (1) difficulty of the curriculum and (2) poor teachingand advising. Engineering is known to be a difficult discipline. For the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) accredited engineering programs, students are expected toachieve several learning outcomes including an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complexengineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and

While students have learned the necessary technical skills in college,they may not have had the opportunity to apply the body of knowledge in a practical setting.Addressing this challenge generally requires colleges offering S/G programs to incorporateproject-based learning opportunities into their curricula. Such opportunities provide studentswith hands-on experience and help develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills thatare essential for a successful career in today’s evolving geospatial industry.2.

The types of writing include proposals, inspection reports,design documentation, progress reports, specifications, instruction manuals, online help files,emails, blogs, and more. A recent study [4] showed that students’ abilities in technical writingwere perceived to be below the standards by industry professionals, and engineering educators arerequested to address this major competency gap urgently.

This work is specifically relevant, asone of the major objectives of the educational process is for students to acquire theoretical andconceptual knowledge [32]. However, the educational imperative for engineering education goesbeyond this objective. Developing technical expertise also requires developing practical skillsthrough hands-on experiences. Instructional labs in engineering help translate conceptualknowledge to practical experiences that reflect real-world scenarios, which engineeringgraduates will encounter during their engineering careers. However, gaps often exist betweenthe skill sets that engineering employers

Prior studentknowledge on electricity, magnetism, and 3D modeling is helpful but not required as it can beintroduced by the instructor.

Second, themeasurement and data acquisition activities were much more hands-on than the statisticscurriculum, creating very different energy and engagement in the class throughout thesemester. We wanted to modify the course to address these two concerns but decided to takea more holistic approach to the redesign.This paper outlines our comprehensive approach to redesigning Data Analysis. We not onlyconsider changes to the assessments and activities of the class, but we also re-evaluate thelearning objectives in the context of program and college level goals and students’professional careers.
