Those papers emphasize three critical areas: Learning in and out of the classroom; The pathways to studying engineering, retention, and diversifying learning community; and Using technology to enhance learning and engagement.The NSF is committed to establishing and the engineering education community is in need of aresearch agenda focused on propagating documented innovations. To most effectivelyaccomplish this, it is necessary to capture needs and potential solutions through a number ofdifferent approaches that actively involve the larger engineering education community. As suchthis work addresses four major questions.1. What accomplishments have been produced to date? What new innovations have occurred over

everyday life. Solutions to them willrequire interaction and collaboration between engineers and those from the broader liberal arts.Similarly, there is a need for those in other fields to have basic understanding of engineering.This need for a basic understanding is an outgrowth of the degree to which technology permeatesand shapes modern society. Without an understanding of how and why technology is developedand implemented, it becomes an almost magical black box. A lack of understanding of howsuch technology functions and is developed is antithetical to the enlightenment idea of educatingindividuals so they understand the world around them. An understanding of the world is thebasis on which the modern concepts of the liberal arts are based

The engineering faculty would like students to focus firston ‘what’ functions must the system perform to meet customer requirements or market needsthat is a solution to a particular problem. Usually, students are fixated on the ‘how’, applyingtheir particular and interesting technology without consideration to a particular market orcustomer needs. To continue and stress the importance of technical depth, several factors abouttechnical merit are provided for further assessment of student outcomes. Examples of selecteddeliverables by students from several projects and assessment tools are given to illustrate thesystem-level thinking.Keywordscapstone course, system

This could be a result ofstudent tendency to memorize what is needed to the moment, and during the 1-1.5 monthsbetween the PPP and the beginning of fall classes, their knowledge fades.There are many colleges and universities whose engineering students struggle with theircalculus requirements.
