posterIntroduction:As technology progresses, it is crucial for engineering students to develop competency incomputational problem-solving skills to succeed independent of their career path [1, 2]. Muchrecent literature has focused on development of numerical modeling into engineering classes [3-5], citing its benefits in assisting complicated problems while prioritizing software approaches thatuse analytical techniques. Such numerical approaches to problem-solving can also be beneficial asthey can be leveraged by existing knowledge that students have developed in their previouscourses, including in mathematics [6]. However, students should still understand the underlyingtheory for programs to best interpret the results and understand limitations present in the

Moreover, in an innovative curriculum, we may be able to createmethods for assessment that are (1) non-intrusive, (2) operate more-or-less automatically(built-in) and (3) provide real gains in instructor and learner productivity.Knowledge CenteredOnce, it was “known” what constituted an engineering education (…a significant amountof math, statistics, thermodynamics, circuits, physics, etc.). Now, it is less clear what thecorpus of knowledge is that students need to be most successful in life. What is neededfor the upcoming century may well be completely different from the traditionalcurriculum – for example, one may guess that biology and information technology mightbecome a centerpiece of every engineer’s education

Engineersare problem solvers by nature and an important skill to be learned is the ability to assess thecredibility of solutions. Engineering educators can help students improve this ability bymodeling solution assessment in the classroom by predicting, where possible, what the solutionshould look like before

Often, when the emphasis is onlearning a commercial language, much of the course becomes training at the expense ofconcepts.
