In this initial study, we aim to: (1) provide a set of curricular materialsthat engineering educators can use to integrate reflection in any presentation assignment and (2)discuss self-reported student data regarding development of presentation skills. Students reportedthat viewing their recorded presentation and reflecting on their performance helped them gainconfidence and improve their presentation skills for future use.Although effective communication skills are required for success in all engineering disciplines,many programs do not teach technical communication for a variety of reasons, including lack ofinstructor experience or buy-in regarding the value of teaching

Statics (called ME270:Basic Mechanics I at PUWL) is a core requirement of the ME program and is a prerequisite for anumber of later course offerings related to engineering mechanics. It is often taken during the firstsemester of students’ Sophomore year, making it one of the first formal ME courses taken aftercompleting the integrated First Year Engineering (FYE) curriculum offered to all PUWLFreshmen engineering students. In order to offer Statics as a study abroad option during May of2019, the instructional team for the course needed to quickly redesign the existing Staticscurriculum to fit an accelerated schedule within an international context.

At UM, there is a single SS class aimed at second year students. The class emphasizes continuoustime analysis and has an associated lab section that meets roughly five times a semester. At UVa, there is a series ofthree Fundamentals courses (abbreviated FUN 1-3) that intermix the curriculum typical in Linear Circuits, Electronics,and Signals and Systems courses.

retention must be addressed not only at the college level but also inthe K-12 space, specifically around increasing exposure to and an understanding of engineeringamong students. Teacher preparation programs are slowly adapting their curriculum to train pre-service teachers with the skills needed to integrate engineering into their classrooms, but most K-6 educators have little or no background in STEM disciplines. This has led to schools reachingout for expertise from their local communities to incorporate STEM education experiences (Oziset al. 2018). A variety of experiences have been implemented and linked to increased interest inSTEM careers in the last two decades ranging from after-school programs/clubs to one-dayworkshops. Most of these

introduces a method of using multidisciplinary teams to enhance levels of higher-order thinking and innovative problem solving within higher education. Traditional educationmethods may sometimes hinder the curiosity and inquisitiveness that drives innovation. Forinnovation to occur current knowledge must be questioned, solutions discussed, and ideasattempted and learned from regardless of success or failure in the outcomes. Our Innovation-Based Learning (IBL) framework provides students with both the freedom and responsibility todefine their own learning within an environment that applies innovative thinking to currentchallenges. By assembling multidisciplinary teams, students are forced to rethink and reframeconcepts that are familiar or dogmatic
