study proposes severalavenues for additional research.Narratives of Required Enthusiasm In interviews, engineering professors said that they hire student lab workers who seementhusiastic [11]. For example, Kate explained her normal procedure for hiring anundergraduate: “Usually [undergrads] approach me, say, ‘I’m looking for some research to do,’and I show them around the lab, and if they seem excited about it then I’m more willing to takethem on.” Excitement is not sufficient for selection, because Kate also expects curiosity andacceptable grades, but it is a significant factor. This practice implies a belief that performedinterest correlates with motivation, work ethic, and even ability. Likewise, undergraduatesexplained to me that

inteams, and critically explore the ethics and values of their work; yet, the current curriculum ispopulated by traditional engineering courses that follow the typical formula of lectures, close-end homework problems, and exams. Pathways in and out of the program are also scarce,influenced primarily by an assortment of required courses that fill much of student check sheets.In our plan to enact change to diversify the ECE department in terms of student make-up andconcentrations to choose from, identifying critical points in the student’s trajectory towarddegree completion was made the first course of action.To adopt a frame through which we can examine the curriculum, the idea of threshold conceptsproved to be an attractive foundation for the

Engineering Curriculum Abstract In addition to providing the technical expertise required to solve 21st century problems, theengineers of 2020 will be expected to adapt to a continuously evolving environment while oper-ating outside the limits of their discipline and remaining ethically grounded. Their undergraduatetraining must therefore be designed to nurture engineers to transcend traditional disciplinaryboundaries, and to communicate, transfer knowledge, and collaborate across technical and non-technical boundaries. One approach to this challenge is to incorporate biomimicry or bio-inspireddesign into the engineering curriculum. Our research aims to create instructional resources thatprovide exposure to the abundance of design examples that

interrelated. These blocks, which include design, analysis,ethics, and laboratory, serve to fragment rather than integrate the curriculum and therefore thelearning experience and preparation of engineering students. The curricula typically includemany levels of pre-requisites and require students fully understand theory before being permittedto practice application. Rather than necessarily informing each other, these insular blocks,typically taught by different entities within the university structure, serve as individualappendages between which the student must somehow identify connections. The authors argued“… the workload of science and math courses can be so overwhelming that students end uplosing interest in the profession for which they are
