to give a more mature group of students,independent research experience coupled with critical thinking, teamwork, andan extensive development of communication skills. Undergraduate research at NJIT has been an integral part of thecurriculum since the 1960’s. In recent years, two other research programs havebeen made available to the students and in some cases grant curriculum credit.These programs are the URE (1990) and the McNair (1999) programs, which aredesigned to recruit qualified students from underrepresented groups andintroduce them to the challenges associated with research. The students areexpected to perform original research under the guidance of a faculty mentor andto publish the results of their research in acceptable

The class usually accommodates between 150 and 175 students, they are dispatched ingroups about 25 strong to each of Lehigh’s seven engineering departments where they work insmall teams undertaking innovative problem solving assignments for half the semester. In mid-semester elected or appointed representatives from each group present their discoveries andconclusions to the whole class; groups are then re-configured and the process repeats for thesecond half of the semester. This way every student ha s an experience with the faculty andfacilities in two departments, but every student learns about the experiences of their peers
design, encourage a mindset in which students seek technicalsolutions often rooted in a specific engineering discipline with little regard for the context in which theirproduct, system, or service may be deployed, the societal or business need(s) it may fulfill or even itsrelations to all the other engineering, business or ‘environmental’ domains that can contribute to success.In order to better prepare engineers with a systems perspective and the competencies to be effective insystem design, there is a need to promote the development of systems thinking in engineeringundergraduates. Coupled to these efforts we also see the merits of seeding this approach even earlier inK-12 communities as part of a movement to incorporate pre-engineering into

complexities of LP modeling successfully. In conclusion, integrating mathematicalconcepts with applied examples can serve as a crucial bridge, linking theoretical understanding topractical application. This approach fosters a deeper comprehension of the subject matter,benefiting students across engineering disciplines. Through delving into the intricacies ofengineering education, it becomes evident that a holistic approach, encompassing factors such aseffective learning strategies, cognitive skills development, and practical application, is essentialfor nurturing well-rounded and successful engineering students.References[1] E.
