Our methodology is based on exploratory data miningand visualization for analyzing and visualizing raw student data from multiple data sources. Theexploratory analysis serves two purposes, 1) it supports the instructor's desire to gain insightsinto the implementation of a flipped

Augsburg, T., & De Barrosin their paper discusses how they were able to transform a long standing course to aninterdisciplinary and an integrative course by introducing a core course and having smallermodules within the curriculum. In integrative learning knowledge and skills are connected frommultiple sources and they are applied at different setting using different views [1, 11, 12]. Themain idea is to incorporate it as integrated studies that would involve making connections withina between fields major, between curriculum, and multi-disciplinary curriculum [1, 2].Before introducing the sustainability component to the curriculum, it is important to understandthe student perception and knowledge of sustainability.

The main reasonsfor these difficulties were related either to bureaucracy or to the non-integration of informationsystems.However, all these problems were minimized by the support of all the working group.

IntroductionEngineers play an essential and unique position in the society as their influence over resources willhave long-term consequences on the communities they service. They are uniquely placed toaddress systemic obstacles, but to do so, they need to have a nuanced grasp of social aspects. Toaccomplish this, engineering education must include topics that investigate equality, diversity, andinclusion. (EDI). Students will be able to gain a grasp of how their

collaborationcentered extra-curricular resources can improve the project experience for first-year engineeringstudents.Background and Motivation First-year engineering education and its impact on student retention, culture, andexperience is an important topic to current educators trying to improve university levelengineering education. Persistence in an engineering program is directly related to the first-yearexperience [1]. The first-year curriculum and surrounding environment are essential componentsto providing students with points of both learning and discovery that will ultimately impact theirdecision to stay within their chosen path [1]. Although the engineering path may not be the bestpath for every student, there is a serious concern over
alongside key concepts and practicesin the informal teaching and learning space.Implementation StrategiesThis case study is based on an informal education program which provides students with anopportunity to dive into hands-on engineering. This program also serves as a laboratory settingfor teacher-researchers to pilot new programming that they would not have the opportunity to trywithin the formal classroom. The program serves approximately 100 diverse 6th and 8th gradegirls in an engineering summer program. The diversity of the educators may add to theinnovation with formal educators including a secondary math teacher, K-5 STEAM specialists,an inclusion coordinator, a tech integration specialist, secondary science educationundergraduates

Asking students to write down what was least clear to them is a potentially powerful integrative exercise because it requires students to identify any misconceptions or difficulties they may be having with the material, opening a dialogue with the instructor and allowing students to a more profound learning outcome.

According to ASCE [4], with the introduction of powerful computer technology and thetrend toward increasing specialization, civil engineers’ roles often limit their leadershipopportunities. Civil engineers will have to command the multidisciplinary, multi-cultural, team-building, and leadership aspects of their work in order to lead and execute complex projects thatinvolve many and varied stakeholders and meaningful collaboration.Even with evidence cited in the vision papers from the NAE and specific disciplines, there stillexists a paucity of opportunities for teaching and developing professional skills, includingleadership, to

Students have a confidence and self-motivation that was fostered by this course, which can be a strong differentiating factor forpotential employers when comparing resumes. 6ConclusionThe authors’ goal was to create a course in which students could conduct undergraduate researchin the sciences at an engineering school with no science programs. A general set of learningoutcomes was constructed encapsulating what any good scientist should learn from their firstresearch experience.

This combination of responses may reflect a better understanding of the challenge andrisk to be innovative and entrepreneurial following their work on the biomimicry project. Thishighlights the importance to underscore with students that creativity involves risk taking [16] andto encourage them to frame risk taking as an opportunity not a threat [17]. This is one of theirfirst courses in bioengineering and these concepts can be revisited throughout the curriculum toconnect risk taking with growing an entrepreneurial mindset.Interestingly, some survey results indicate that even at the start of the project there was alreadyagreement by both cohorts on the value of
