the entire curriculum that (1)reinforces student understanding and retention through reinforcement at short intervals, and (2)minimizes fading of conceptual knowledge due to extended disuse – as is often problematic inthe traditional ME curriculum.IntroductionHistorically, engineering education has followed a linear model in which engineering topics aretaught in separate, disconnected classes that “serially encapsulate” the course material in thestudents’ minds. In contrast, our newly developed first-year course sequence, funded by a CourseCurriculum and Laboratory Improvement Phase 1 Grant from the National Science Foundationtitled “Design-Based SPIRAL Learning Curriculum” (DUE-0837759), strives to integrate avariety of engineering topics in
engineering graduate programs use MATLAB forcourses in advanced reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, and/or transport phenomena. However,while we have created the modules with a MATLAB/SIMULINK framework in mind, PD&Cinstructors could also adapt the modules easily to use other software packages. For example, thefunctionality of Cooper and Dougherty’s Control Station [30-33] is comparable toMATLAB/SIMULINK. Other instructors have used HYSYS for control system modeling [e.g. 7,27] . It is relatively straightforward for instructors wishing to use Control Station or HYSYS toadopt our pedagogical approach and adapt our modules for use in their classrooms.Implementation of the Modules in PD&C at Rowan UniversityWe have used these modules in the PD

Of particular interest was how the students’ final course grades were impacted by theiroverall site usage, chat and message activity.

you get a job.” Dan finds success is developed by continually applying yourself.- “Success is not something that is learned. Certainly developed if you’re continually applying yourself… Kind of approaching your engineering studies with that attitude [of continually applying yourself] and then being goal-driven… You shouldn’t have dreams. You should have goals. It's just very much the sort of logic that I think the engineering world or the engineering profession would appreciate is always having these goals in mind.” –Dan Dan conveys how the engineering degree serves the purpose of demonstrating you're competent.
