education classes take a case study approach. This paper will describe the implementation of this hybrid GE/senior project course and will present the assessment of the first year of this program’s implementation. Introduction In January 2013, the California State University Board of Trustees mandated that, unless excepted, undergraduate degree programs, including engineering degrees, be limited to 120 units. Title 5 § 40508 [1] states that “[a]s of the fall term of the 2014-2015 academic year, no baccalaureate degree programs shall extend the unit requirement beyond 120 semester units…” This mandate and short timeline for implementation necessitated swift action for proposals to be submitted and approved via campus curriculum committees and

The NGSS places particular emphasis on students learningengineering practices and an understanding of engineering design. At the earliest grades, childrenlearn about engineering as solving problems that people want solved. “Emphasis is on thinkingthrough the needs or goals that need to be met, and which solutions best meet those needs andgoals” [1 Appendix I].

Two research questions are being explored in this research: (i) How doengineering students change their understanding of social responsibility from the end of theirfirst year in college to the end of their second year of college? (ii) What experiences seemed tocause these changes? To answer these research questions, a qualitative approach was used.Thirty-four students were interviewed in their second semester of college, and thirty-two of thesestudents were interviewed again one year later

[1] Exposing students to an assortment of technologies is also desirable, to give themas broad an experience as is reasonable. Thus, setups containing different sensors, effectors andactuators and indicators are needed. Quite often, the cost of such laboratory setups (or trainers) ishigh, thereby challenging the desire to have numerous full setups.To broaden the students’ programming capabilities, many programs teach such courses acrossboth microcontroller and
