UnitedStates was becoming aware of the need for more NDM technologies. Further, these samestakeholders recognized that more technology would only come through increased interest andcompetence in the topic(s), recognition of its importance in a public and private capacity, and as aresult of the two, increased development of exploratory engineering. Serabian’s [7] chief wonderwas thus what role engineering education would play in advancing NDM technologies.Specifically, they asked, would engineering education practice focus on whether students coulduse the relevant technologies, rather than leave that to technicians, or would the focus be onteaching students theory that would allow them to develop new technologies? At a time in whichfunding was an issue

Unsurprisingly, the first student outcome for ABETaccredited engineering programs is “an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complexengineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics (p. 5).[14] However, other standards emphasize the importance of social awareness and interpersonalcommunication to the modern practice of engineering.

[11] There is evidence that electronically virtual capstone teams havebeen used successfully in engineering since the early 2000’s.

[12]Communication and Interaction. A longitudinal study of multi-university, multi-disciplinaryengineering capstone projects with virtual team members involved in product developmentprojects highlights the importance of selection and use of communications tools.

becomes the only synchronously available instructionalcoach for small groups. Prior work [25]–[27] indicates that TAs can serve as effective co-instructors, particularly in facilitating team-based activities; however, TAs do require oversightand coaching in order to be effective in their role. In a large-enrollment course setting, the sheernumber of TAs required to support course activities necessitates robust professional developmentand a clear plan for TA management by course instructor(s) [29], [30].In this paper, we present strategies for offering large-enrollment FYE courses in an entirelyonline setting; and we critically examine the effectiveness of this approach by comparing studentoutcomes between FTF and online course formats.

the sorting task. Each sorter was presented with all of the final ideason a set of numbered cards with one idea per card. They then sorted the cards into groups ofsimilar ideas and created a descriptive name for each group. Finally, they recorded their groupname and the ideas (numbered cards) were placed in that group. Each idea was only sorted intoone group. Once the ideas were sorted by the stakeholders, this raw data was structured intomatrices of 0’s and 1’s using the open source programing language R [31]. This step generatedindividual and total matrices, which served as an input for the representation step. The sortingstep was an onsite activity and was completed in two hours, with each stakeholder sorting theideas individually. Prior
research directionsare proposed.Keywords: curriculum, design, design thinking, discoursesIntroductionCurriculum is defined as a plan which is intended to provide the learning experiences to individualsin an educational setting [1]. It is the most important part of an education system irrespective of thetype of education. Although it is critical, curriculum is often criticized for not providing all therequired learning experiences as it is intended to. Curriculum development is a process used todevelop and implement the curriculum plan and evaluating it against the set standards [2].Curriculum planning deals with making choices at different stages in the development process, andplanning choices are strongly influenced by the value system(s) of the
