The project team and faculty in EEsuccessfully integrated laboratory experiences into purely theoretical courses via Hardware-in-Homework (HiH) concept [13, 14]. The Analog Discovery kit is a good example of HiH, whichcan play an important role for students who learn EE materials in an online setting. The uniquemeasurement features of the Analog Discovery kit can be appropriately applied to lower to upper-level courses [14].

Recent efforts at ColoradoSchool of Mines to integrate biology into our engineering curriculum have led to a revisedfoundational biology course that has rigor and relevance for our engineering students. The movefrom traditional lecture to an active learning environment was key in our efforts to engage ourstudents, with the intent of improving our students’ comprehension of biology.

Even so, there are some courses that do and those should be carefully leveraged. With issues of sustainability and resiliency becoming better integrated throughout the civil engineering curriculum, there will be more natural opportunities for discussions of social, global and political and equity issues throughout the curriculum.
