Through a comprehensive series of reforms and changes implementedover five years, rates began to improve. Among the many changes were the implementation ofguided pathways, targeted completion programs (College Completes), customer business models,predictive scheduling, revisions to developmental education, and more [14]. None of these changeswere unique; all were drawn from research on best practices. High level, the community collegesystem followed many of the reforms advocated in Bailey et. al.’s

A common feature of these inductive methods is that questions or problems form thecontext for learning.3 Thus, formative assessments based on questions/problems can play afundamentally important role in student learning. The degree to which homework/activity questions impact student learning can beevaluated by considering them relative to Bloom s taxonom . In order of increasing

intackling problems, particularly ill-defined or ill-structured problems which typically lie outsidethe educational domain of the sciences and the humanities. Such problems are more likeproblems, issues, or decisions encountered in everyday life [1]; Fox (1981) refers to this type ofproblem engagement as ‘real-world problem solving’. Reference [3] likens this intrinsic value ofdesignerly knowing to the educational value of critical thinking. To extend this idea further, Iwould argue that [3]’s analogy presupposes the reflective nature of design. In the followingsections I will present three aspects of the nature of design (i.e., reflective, ill-defined and open-ended, and social) and discuss how they can contribute to an engineering education rooted

. DEFINING QUALITYThe idea for this project began with a conversation between one of theauthors, Scott Conrad, and an Associate Dean of the College ofEngineering, Dean Robert Ratner. The focus of the conversation wasthat the author felt a recent 4.4% cut in the College'·s budget andcontinued rises in enrollment were eroding the quality of his education.The Dean asked the author to define a quality education. A list ofvarious criteria such as class size, advising, faculty competence, andup-to-dateness of lab equipment quickly came to mind. However, thelist was incomplete and quite myopic. The Dean pointed out two problemswith the list: 1. It was only one person's perspective, i.e., another student would probably generate a different
