The science requirements for ETare similar to where science content needs to be “appropriate to the discipline.” [16] This issimplified by stating that the mathematics and science requirements for an ET program are lessthan the requirements for an engineering program.

In addition, for these designactivities to have the most impact for students, they need to be closely aligned with the real-world of engineering practice which is collaborative, multi-disciplinary, and which employscomplex engineering tools which are difficult to introduce to students in their first year or two oftheir studies as they are still building their foundational knowledge.

increasing student interest in STEM careers to meet the increasing demands ofthe STEM workforce, researchers and policy-makers advocated for an integrated approach toSTEM education that led to curricular developments such as the Next Generation ScienceStandards (NGSS) in the United States [1], [2]. The resulting increased demand to improve STEM education around the world has led tonew and varied models of integrated STEM instruction (iSTEM) [3]. Implementation and viewsof integrated STEM differ with regard to which of the STEM disciplines should be the focus,how many of the four STEM disciplines should be present and to what degree they should eachbe emphasized, the main purpose of learning in STEM, whether other non-STEM subjectsshould be

Innovative ideas such as Chapman University’sfour-year team-based capstone model [6] have been put forth to best represent a ‘GrandChallenge’ curriculum. However, approaches to assess how an undergraduate engineeringcurriculum prepares students to address the Grand Challenges have, to date, been rarelydiscussed in literature.

objective of EMC2 was fluid - it was an effort to get conversations going, connectstudents with faculty members, and foster growth for students and professors alike. While EMC2began as a small group of students yearning for more depth in the engineering curriculum,through the Dean’s RJ Curriculum Challenge it evolved into an organized method of reachingout to faculty and encouraging real change in lesson plans.[1] Lucena, J.

As theprocess progressed it became apparent that substantial flexibility for the students could be builtinto the program while maintaining the integrity of the curriculum from an ABET viewpoint.Changes in the curriculum included revising the number of courses and order of courses forcovering traditional mechanical engineering technical topics and relaxing the requirements fortechnical elective credits. As a result, students now have the flexibility to take more coursesoutside of engineering that are of interest to them, potentially allowing them to minor in a non-engineering discipline or to take a

One of the studies that relate to this interest was conducted in[19] by observing students’ ability to approximate integral calculations by sampling points duringthe process of writing a code for integral calculations. It is pointed out in [19] that integrationneeds to be thought from two perspectives: as the culmination of a limiting process and theapplication of this process over an interval of variable length, as producing a correspondence.The importance of designing a curriculum with instructional emphasis in algebra and pre-calculusby helping students to
