For instance, AAC&U’s College Learning for theNew Global Century notes that such experiences offer “rich opportunities for connectingknowledge with choices and action” [14, p. 36]. However, as Beatrice’s and Palano’s experiencedemonstrates, students may have “had the experience but missed the meaning” [15, p. 151,quoting T. S. Eliot’s Four Quartets]. Thus, there remains an open question about what could bedone to help students learn even more, especially closer to
students to pursue careers in naval science & technology (Kiss, 2011; Lundquist,2014). Because there are relatively few institutions in the United States that offer comprehensivenaval architecture programs, there is an opportunity for smaller programs to help meet the needby developing quality curricula on Navy-related S&T subjects, and to make students aware ofpotential careers in this area.The program discussed in this paper has been developed at the University of Iowa, whichprovides unique challenges for attracting students with interest in naval science & technology. Itis therefore important to cultivate that interest through exposure to relevant curricular topics andengineering challenges. In addition, due to the limited faculty

Based on the student self-assessment responses (Figure 3), the areasthat received the lowest average ratings were the inability to include storytelling techniques(S), effectiveness to use script support (SS), as well as incompetence to engage audiences(EA). Students expressed that their strengths were content preparation, organization and timemanagement, yet these skills received a rating of approximately 3, indicating that theirstrengths are still considered as underdeveloped. Therefore, results indicated that there is anopportunity for improvement and mastering all the different presentation criteria

The informal student-faculty events did not have highparticipation but, from student comments, were meaningful to those who participated. Severalstudents mentioned the increased connections being beneficial to their mental health. Also, Ibelieve the increased emphasis on establishing student connections contributed to the relativelyhigh attendance throughout the semester. The higher attendance could then lead to higherengagement and increased learning. Further study would be needed to quantify this conclusion.References[1] C. Son, S. Hegde, A. Smith, X.

terminology“multidisciplinary engineering programs” is defined as the set of engineering programs with oneof the following program titles (and a few slight variations): Engineering (including GeneralEngineering), Engineering Physics, and Engineering Science(s). An important characteristic thatthese programs have in common is that they do not have “program criteria” that supplement the“general criteria” that apply to the accreditation criteria for all other engineering programs. Thisnew role for ASEE means, among other things, that ASEE now has membership on the ABETEngineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) and is responsible for recruiting andrecommending Program Evaluators (PEVs) to ABET for accreditation visits for multidisciplinaryengineering
