However, this directive requires greater sophistication incurricular design, providing an interface between basic science and engineering at the systemslevel, and leadership for innovation. These curricular priorities also exert their influence on thekinds of engineering skills needed in the work force. Expertise related to communication,innovation, and leadership will be required to a much larger degree in accelerated productdevelopment.

planning to start engineering at Loyola University Chicago (LUC), the new Director decidedto integrate social justice with engineering in the curriculum. This decision seemed a naturalextension of Jesuit universities’ emphasis on social justice. LUC’s BS Engineering Scienceprogram began the following year in August, 2015.BackgroundIn his 1968 survey for ASEE, Liberal Learning for the Engineer, Sterling Olmsted counted 93engineering schools that had initiated programs in liberal studies in the last three years. By 1973,as a result of this report, almost 200 technical colleges experimented with curricula to address thesocial implications of technology. Two curricular approaches included “humanizing”engineering through interdisciplinary education and

stems from our desireto improve the learning experience in our own classrooms. This study illustrates our desire toassess student testing in order to improve overall student retention and performance.MethodsDesign Parameters of the StudyThe assessed student population consisted purely of non-engineering majors (e.g. English, Math,Leadership, History, etc.) who must each complete the three-course environmental engineeringsequence, taken during their junior and senior years. At West Point, all students, regardless ofmajor, must either major in an engineering field or take a three-course engineering sequence inorder to graduate. The course, EV350: Environmental Engineering Technologies, that was chosenfor this study is the second in that three

To address RQ3, twoadditional themes were included: experimental data and simulations. Representative quotes forthese four themes are given below: • Technological era: “Literally every engineering field needs some amount of coding or programming now.” • Efficiency: “An engineer can whip up a program to do something in ten minutes that would have taken 5 hours manually.” • Experimental Data: “This is a technological era, everything depends on programming to quickly and accurately process and analyze data.” • Simulations: “To model

This is both due to the increasing availability of technology and job opportunities withinthe aerospace engineering career field. According to the Department of Labor’s Bureau of LaborStatistics (April 2018), “Employment of aerospace engineers is projected to grow 6 percent from2016 to 2026, about as fast as the average for all occupations.” Rationale for this growth isattributed to several factors, including the increased use of cubesats, aircraft

As a result, entrepreneurship education has spread laterally to non-businessdisciplines such as engineering, technology, science, and arts [10]. This expansion has ledto an evolution of entrepreneurship education from the business school model of venturecreation to focus on developing skills in graduates that foster innovation in their careerpursuits which may or may not involve self-employment [11]. Particularly inengineering, several curricular and co-curricular entrepreneurship programs have beeninitiated which typically use student-centered, experiential learning approaches to impartcontent knowledge and more importantly
