The main spine of the program is eight semesters of projectwork conducted inside an engineering studio. The freshman and sophomore years of the programare multi-disciplinary, with all students sharing a common set of projects and courses. At the upperdivision, a student will individually select two focus areas: a primary engineering emphasis area Page 13.366.2and a secondary emphasis area, which may or may not be in

Throughout the semester, students are challenged to understand,think critically to solve writing and computing problems, analyze narrative structure, compareand contrast stories, and apply various narrative structures to their project. Students workcollaboratively on this group project to create a video game prototype and an accompanyinggame design document. The game design document describes the project and discusses elementsof analysis and design. Moreover, students prepare and revise an annotated bibliography tofacilitate their ability to make connections across academic disciplines. This strategy requiresstudents to write one paragraph

We believe that oneof the reasons why students perform better in sections of the PS course linked to a LC is becausethe narrative skills learned in the EG1 course allows them to create more engaging stories whichthey then implement as a computer program using Alice. Students taking a PS course not linkedto a LC may not be taking EG1 in the same semester, they may have forgotten about thenarrative and writing skills learned in EG1, or the EG1 instructor teaching the course may notemphasize

It is based on a successful“Engineering Projects” course offered through our General Engineering department, which hassubsequently been made into a popular summer program for prospective students. The goal ofthis new course, which meets two laboratory hours per week, is to expose students to several ofthe important ideas and concepts in microsystems and nanotechnology, and to give them hands-on projects that will help them learn these multidisciplinary ideas. Further, the “ulterior motive”of this course is to inspire students to stay in engineering, and to give them a flavor of
