EWU’s curricular revisions will include adding a laboratorycomponent to each class in the EE major, developing a class for each year of study that includesa service learning component, developing a class for each year of study that requires work on areal industry project, and requiring an internship and a project-based senior project for eachstudent.

relativelyconstant; however, profound changes were made across all sections in terms of pedagogy,homework, timing of course content, grade computation and exam content.  The motivation for focusing on Calculus I arose from a five-year National Science FoundationScience Talent Expansion Program grant that was awarded in 2010 to a multi-disciplinary teamthat spanned engineering, mathematics and science. A major grant objective was to raise first-semester, full-time retention of students in STEM majors. The projects supported several year-long faculty learning communities (FLCs) of about 10 instructors each.

Growing up with this it is no wonder the view of engineering is a sleek and cool jobwhere it seems you can sit around and invent all day. This also demonstrates why engineeringprograms have such a high dropout rate as students become immersed in the curriculum. As theygo along, students see less and less of the cool results and see more of the difficult and uglycomputations that are hardly ever seen by outsiders. The intent of this study is to consider howwe can display the results of engineering over the course of the undergraduate curriculum, in anattempt to motivate the students to

, they need to understand the different stakeholders who are impacted by thedesigns they create. In a typical civil engineering design process, direct stakeholders (e.g. theclient) may be involved during the beginning of the process when establishing the criteria of theproject, with perhaps some limited community engagement during public outreach. This approachhowever limits the perspectives contributing to a project.

. IntroductionThe field of Engineering Graphics has been greatly impacted by the use of computers over thelast twenty-five years. Traditionally, engineering designs were conveyed in a 2-D drawing thatused orthographic projection and drafting standards. Engineers in the past had to learn thesecommon graphical practices as part of their formal education. With modern computer tools, theconveying of design ideas now begins with the development of a 3-D solid computer model.The model not only creates a visual image that allows the designer to see the geometry, but italso creates a 3-D digital data base that can be applied to all phases of the design process. Thefreshman “Engineering Design and Graphics” course at the University of Texas at Austin reflectsthis

Nevertheless, some students seem to be more confidently uncomfortable, ready and willingto begin working on open-ended problems. We sought in this study to understand the factors thatmake a student better able to begin work on these projects without directed guidance from theinstructor. Here, this student ability is ascribed to, in part, a student’s ambiguity tolerance andself-efficacy on open-ended problems.
