isneeded.The National Academies of Sciences (NAS) report [10] emphasizes that using a piecemealapproach to data science curriculum development may result in content coverage but also ‘lackeducational and cross discipline cohesion’. While programs need to address data science skills,they should also prepare students for the actual ‘data challenges they will face in their careers’[10]. The NAS report also calls out the need to include high impact educational practices such asfirst year seminars, undergraduate research, common intellectual experiences (common andintegrative core knowledge), writing intensive courses, collaborative projects and assignments,and capstone courses. Important findings to note within the NAS report [10] include enhancingthe

otherengineering disciplines.IntroductionEngineers must gain the ability to communicate and collaborate across disciplines in addition togaining a deep technical disciplinary knowledge. This is increasingly true in modern society inwhich scientists and engineers must address complex, interdisciplinary challenges on a globalscale. While current efforts at teaching interdisciplinary problem-solving at the collegiate-level(e.g., class projects, capstone courses) exist, the effectiveness of many of these approaches areineffective in achieving interdisciplinary learning objectives. Richter and Paretti (2009)identified two main learning barriers to common interdisciplinary approaches: (1) students areunable to identify the relationship between their own

In addition, the various industry partnershipsformed to-date under the AMSI umbrella, with a view to supporting the degree program in a sustainablefashion, are highlighted.1. Introduction.As has been noted by various industry analysts, including Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute [1],more than 2 million manufacturing jobs are projected to go unfilled in the U.S. over the next decade.Only around 40% of a projected 3.5 million

is a multidisciplinary design intensive vertical curriculumsupported at the 200-level, 300-level, and capstone levels by three newly developed coursesfocused on engineering design. Grounded in human-centered design and design thinking, thesecourses will focus on developing the skills necessary to understand users’ experiences andidentify and develop appropriate solutions for design problems. The addition of these threedesign courses, along with engineering design activities in our established First-YearEngineering program, introduces a “design spine” in the curriculum that emphasizes problem-based learning across all four years of the engineering degree program. While this curriculumsupports contemporary students’ desire for flexibility and

Engineering (Ph.D. UCLA 2002), and she has several years’ experience in hands-on informal science education, including working at the Lawrence Hall of Science at UC Berkeley. While at Cal Poly Pomona, she taught the first year engineering course, mentored student capstone re- search projects, and introduced nanoHUB simulation tools into the undergraduate curriculum in materials science and engineering and electrical engineering courses. Much of her work has focused on introducing STEM concepts to broad audiences and encouraging students, including women and others in traditionally under-represented groups, to consider graduate school. Four of her former research students are currently in, or have completed, Ph.D. programs

you choose to do?My interest in interdisciplinarity stems from my experiences as an undergraduate engineeringstudent. My senior capstone project involved working on an interdisc iplinary design projectfocused on designing and developing a vertical takeoff and lift system (VTOL). The problem wasdefined in the context of a 2040 urban rescue. There were four different disciplines involved—industrial and systems engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical and computer engineering,and aerospace engineering. Tensions arose throughout the project among the mechanical andaerospace engineers, including instances where I was left unsure of how I fit besides sharing myknowledge about anthropometric dimensions when designing with ergonomics in mind

animportant aspect of the quality assurance in engineering education. Related researchesconcentrated on general course assessment, capstone design course assessment,22 EPICSproject assessment,23and also share experiences based on course assessment withininstitutions practice.24The research perspective tends to the nature of “practice” when responding the programaccreditation, however, weakens the nature of “theory” when discussing the quality ofengineering education. Most researches are conducted to better answer the technicalquestions, which has the obvious nature of “practice”. The issue is the lack of diversity inresearch dimensions and perspectives. First of all, most researches focus on the programaccreditation system of engineering education in

streamlined andredesigned, it was desirable for each required course to “pull more weight” by delivering morevalue to students. Second, we wanted to “set the stage” for what was to come: both to providefoundational technical preparation in CAD, design, and analysis, and to establish studentexpectations of engineering as a socio-technical enterprise. Third, as capstone and other designprojects became increasingly multidisciplinary, we hoped to develop a common foundation inthe design process, with students from all engineering majors (and any non-engineering studentswho choose to enroll in Introduction to Engineering) learning a common, shared language ofdesign.The redesigned course model for our institution’s Introduction to Engineering consists of

Even though these articles do provide much insight, there is stillconsiderable room for innovative methods for achieving the aim of curriculum enhancement.Our goal was not to repeat these studies, but rather to provide a unique perspective on threetopics which, even though they may sound simple, can have profound implications for industrialpractice (across all engineering disciplines), and these concepts can readily be infused intoexisting curricula without adding substantial burdens to instructors.Essential
