, irreversible, andintegrative. By troublesome, they mean the concept or capability is difficult for students to learn;for example, it may be conceptually complex. By transformative, they mean it changes the waythe student views the discipline and knowledge of the subject. By irreversible, they mean oncethe student “sees” this new view, she/he will not revert to a more naïve perspective that she/hepreviously had. Finally, by integrative, they mean it allows the student to see connectionsbetween elements that were previously disjointed.Development of curriculum based on the identification of threshold concepts has recently beenenacted in engineering.3 However, in addressing threshold concepts, we must be mindful thatmany approaches to instruction do not

Perhaps the most prominent aspect of threshold concepts is their transformative nature.4 Onemanner of understanding the transformative criterion is to recall a concept that presented anentirely new lens to view the physical (and perhaps nonphysical) world.

Using a variety of settings, tools,and methodologies, we have focused primarily on individual sustainability (emotional, social,physical, philosophical, and intellectual) and the self-knowledge that informs professional self-minded engineers, enhances decision making and problem solving in engineering and thesciences, cultivates mindfulness as an approach to sustainable living, and promotesunderstanding of the self as a sustainable system.This paper is based on work completed under an NSF Engineering

With this in mind, we present a practicalvision for institutionalizing transformational practices as the project comes to a close amidstmulti-level transitions in leadership.IntroductionThe Revolutionizing Engineering Departments (RED) initiative provides a pathway for visionaryleaders to create groundbreaking transformations of the

develop the application, an integrated development environment was needed that had easy-to-use, but powerful graphics and physics libraries, as well as the ability to be optimized forpersonal mobile devices. In addition, the application needed to be accessible by as many studentsas possible, requiring the environment to support development for multiple platforms. Almost allmobile phones run either Android OS, or iOS. So, these were the platforms that the applicationsought to support. With these requirements in mind, it became evident that Unity [19], a popularcross-platform game engine, was an ideal environment to use to develop this application. As agame engine, Unity has many powerful and simple physics and graphics libraries, in addition toa

most programs. The entry point for scholars within an S-STEMprogram can vary depending on the institution. Some programs focus on transfer and communitycollege students [2] - [4], while others provide support during the student’s sophomore year [5].However, because the first year is a critical juncture for retention [6] - [7], many S-STEMprograms provide support for students beginning their first year in a science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) program [8] - [12]. Programs that focus on first-yearstudents are often built with Tinto’s Model of Integration in mind. This model places significantimportance on academic and social integration to first-year success [13].Engineering students in their first year must adjust to a new

Since most REU studentsworked individually, opportunities for mutual support among research teams were not developed.This project determined to create research experiences that would address these issues. With aPBL approach in mind, engineering faculty members recruited students with a variety of STEMbackgrounds to work collaboratively on a complex problem in transportation engineering. Theresearch was intended to be a collaborative effort among students to reach their common goal.This paper has described the REU as it has developed over two years.During the first year of the project (summer 2018), the eight
