the Fallsemester of 2001, a new ENGR0081 was enacted and linked to the first semester EngineeringAnalysis course ENGR0011. By linking the academic and advising courses, ENGR0081would now be a course in which lectures would provide information needed by the studentsto complete assignments in other courses.The syllabus of the ENGR0081 lecture sessions looks basically the same under both the newdesign and the old design. The major change is a linking of E/FEWP assignments fromENGR0011 with content and activities from ENGR0081, see Figure 1.

This made rapid turnaround ofgraded assignments problematic. All lectures were not completed prior to the beginning of the Page 12.500.8semester, and this caused problems in the latter half of the semester. Some lectures had to bepresented out of order in order to work around lectures that were not ready for presentation ontheir designated date on the syllabus. In

Faculty can aid students in making a habit of refocusing back to“big ideas” throughout the course by intentionally making connections between smaller andbigger ideas. For instance, in the design of a project, the assignment might ask students to run acost-benefit or design tradeoff analysis as part of a report. Additionally, students can find reallife engineering projects in newspapers or online articles and reflect on how the skills they arelearning in the classroom present themselves outside of the academic realm6.LimitationsOne of the limitations in this study is in the nature of the course.

Faculty hope that, by the end of course,students experience a similar level of comfort with other disciplines, how to communicate with peoplefrom different academic backgrounds, how to think critically about subjects not “in their wheelhouse,”and employ concepts and terms introduced during the course.Near the beginning of the semester, faculty felt greater urgency to finish the course design,assignments, syllabus, et cetera, similar to what students experience near the end of their academicterms.
