From itsinitial founding, the ECE department had significant collaborations with local industry and inparticular from two major technology corporations that surrounded it. As the program grew andexpanded, the need for a doctoral program was seen as a natural next step in the progress of theuniversity and critical to serving the needs of local industry.Since this would be the first doctoral program in engineering and only the third at the university,several challenges existed. The first was the high cost associated with such a program, thesecond was resistance to the university in moving from a comprehensive institution to a

that there werethree main curricular activities within engineering that had the potential to encourage EBR in theclassroom: the report to the client at the end of the unit, the types of questions the teacher askedof the students (i.e., asking students to further explain the “why” or “how” of their answers), andstudent discussions. However, this research did not address actual implementation of thecurricula. Mathis et al.18 explored students’ use of EBR during solution generation of anengineering design challenge in a seventh-grade classroom. The study found that students usedEBR most while planning a design idea and evaluating the tested design solution; also, instancesof EBR were found in student worksheets and group discussions.
