IntroductionEngineering education is a broad area that includes all the resources, tools, strategies,methodologies and practices aligned to improve the quality of the education in engineering. Theresearch in this area has grown during the last decades and some of the problems identified by theresearch are: The lack of motivation of people to study careers in engineering and other areas ofScience, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (), the high dropout rates of students fromengineering programs around the world, the misalignment between the curriculum and theassessment, and the gap between the skills of graduates and the needs of the industry, among others[1].The current

Introduction To help starting engineering students in properly preparing for their engineering careers,introductory engineering textbooks advise them to devote a minimum of two to three hours ofstudy for every lecture-hour they attend [1]. In such textbooks, the point is often made that inhigh school most learning takes place in the classroom, whereas in college most learning takesplace outside the classroom. This important point correlates with other studies based on cognitivepsychology, which point out that the

Most commonly, MUSE faculty (along with theconnections they have made in their previous endeavors and continued careers) generatepotential projects that will push students to innovate and create new solutions for real-worldproblems. Alternatively, students have the option of finding their own project to work on bycontacting companies for industry-based projects. As long as the project is approved by thestudents’ advising professor(s), the project can be pursued.

The majority of engineering students who travel todeveloping countries with groups like EWB do so for a limited time period of an average of twoweeks, one to two times during their entire college career. Many assessments of sustainabledevelopment projects completed by groups comprised of these types of students are sometimescategorized as being unbeneficial because of their inherent short-term view. Often anengineering professor or professional mentor serves as the cornerstone of the group to preventthis inconsistency.
