Students will learn to work independently and to collaborate with other group membersas they conduct research in specific topics in energy research. This will enable them to understandtheir own levels of aptitude and interest in a career in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) and give them the tools to prepare for the next stage in their education andcareer development. Students will report and present their research results in multiple settings.

Studentswere challenged to wrestle with what it means for something to be pro-social. In the syllabusstudents were alerted to the ways that this class was likely to be different than others that theyhad taken before.As Hoople and Choi-Fitzpatrick describe it, the course was

We have seen many pedagogical advances, such as team-based learning, problem-based learning, experiential learning, and creative learning using virtual reality, to name a few.The core driver for this change stems from the need for engineering education to prepareengineers to stay relevant and to contribute to society in the face of rapid global change andadvancement in information and technology.These trends have been the main motivator for integrating liberal studies and engineering.Bucciarelli and Drew laid out a “design plan” for liberal studies in engineering
