Due to its multidisciplinary nature, it attracts diverse andinnovative students, and graduates better-prepared professional engineers. In this fast growingfield, there is a great need to standardize educational material and make MRE education morewidely available and easier to adopt. This can only be accomplished if the community comestogether to speak with one clear voice about not only the benefits, but also the best ways to teachit. These efforts would also aid in establishing more of these degree programs

One purpose of the service learning project is tobuild on this passion, giving them a tangible way to get involved while they are students. Theproject fosters an ethic of civic engagement among the engineering students. This engagementwith the community should enhance their engagement with learning and increase their dedicationto engineering.13 The positive effects of integrating service-learning in the curriculum includeimproved retention and graduation rates particularly among underrepresented groups

The coursework component in thePBL subject is essential in constructing knowledge and skills scaffolding to enable students totackle any assigned open-ended projects and problems. In some ways, the PBL subject with acoursework component resembled a mini curriculum-based PBL model.In the undergraduate engineering curriculum there are subjects which integrate knowledgeand subjects which are narrowly discipline focused. It is the former that that it is most suitablefor a PBL delivery because of the its nature in integrating knowledge it allows thedevelopment of open-ended student

A well-designed, relevant, and engaging curriculum will provide ample opportunities for rigorous exploration of the concepts. We believe that aligning the curriculum more closely with modern practices (i.e., emphasis on software, real data sets, etc.) and integrating oral and digital communication principles into this course represents a natural progression for an engineering statistics curriculum.

One of the IAC members pointed out thatthe projects that year tended to be of a higher caliber than those of previous years, noting thatthese students were the first to finish the entire PBL sequence.References[1] Self, B.

However, all topics, especiallyfundamental ones are important in an engineering education because engineers are facingincreasingly complex challenges and opportunities; consequently, collaboration betweenengineers of multiple disciplines becomes very important.
