The total student populationequaled 38 with 21 bioengineering majors and 17 mechanical engineering majors. Theincoming cumulative grade point averages of both sets of students wereapproximately the same (2.86/4.00 vs. 2.88/4.00).ApproachThe approach taken in this first offering of the course was integrative in structure andincluded as well current movie titles to generate in-class discussions and follow-upcritical review essays.

The course is designed to develop self-regulatory, academic, and social-psychologicalcompetence for students through its three primary units: Habits of Professionals, Habits ofLearning, and Habits of Mind. An overarching goal of the course is to support students inbecoming successful STEM students and future engineering professionals.

The successof the innovation process depends on utilizing new and existing technical knowledgeexpeditiously and in novel ways. Many new ideas are the result of the convergence of knowledgefrom seemingly unrelated domains and/or fields of interest. Moreover, innovative ideas tend toemerge from a combination of experience, published information, and dialogue. This process ofcollaboration and team science to

In order to meet this challenge, a need exists to produce civil andenvironmental engineers who have a broad understanding of the pressing needs of the infrastruc-ture of the United States. With this in mind, the faculty of the Civil and Environmental Engi-neering (CEE) Department at [institution] reviewed the program curricula (for the first time in atleast 20 years) and decided to redesign the curricula with an infrastructure theme. A DepartmentLevel Reform planning grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) was used to plan anoverhaul of the curriculum that infuses an infrastructure theme throughout.Once the curriculum planning
