researchdirections.2. The holistic engineering approachGrasso and Martinelli argued that pursuing the concept of the “unity of knowledge” will yield anew definition of engineering which is more fitting for the times ahead [2], [4], [5]. The unity ofknowledge is the integration of knowledge across disciplines to deal with complex problems.Many engineering curricula include general education requirements in the form of coursesoutside of the discipline. However, institutions rarely take the next step and offer connectionsamong these courses to integrate or “unify” students' learning.The engineering education community has embraced the idea of incorporating multi-disciplinaryand cross-disciplinary elements into the curriculum [6]. At the same time, in its Body

This review also pointed out that while empirical research is focusing onstudent outcomes and curricular integration, many of the reports on academic makerspaces focuson the equipment and physical space of the makerspace itself (i.e., 18 out of 22 reports cited).While qualitative methods are being used as a methodology to study experiences withinmakerspaces, reports on systems and space are still happening.

Hands-on experiments are ideal to illustrate these challenging concepts and thus constitutean integral part of the science and engineering curriculum. An ideal experiment involving a systemin which responses depend on multiple parameters should be constructed such that individualcomponents can be altered arbitrarily to understand their significance to the response of the system.Unfortunately, such experiments are often not realizable in classroom or even laboratory settings.Computer simulations can remediate some of the problems associated with the visualization ofcomplex processes; however, do not
