, while at the same time exposing them to applications fromscience and engineering. The objective of such exposure throughout the curriculum is to catchthe interest of students at an early stage, and thus encourage them to pursue those career paths. The project uses web-based modules to address its goals at two levels. One is to increaseinterest in science and engineering at the lower level courses for majors and non-majors. Theother is to improve retention by offering support for upper level courses. While some modulesare course specific, others are deliberately planned to be independent, allowing for maximumflexibility. All modules are available over the Internet.

Critical thinking also requiresmeaningful and reflective judgement which leads to better logical conclusions of arguments.Critical thinking or reflective judgment is required to solve ill-posed problems [e.g., 26].Five phases of critical thinking include the trigger event, an appraisal, the exploration,developing alternative perspectives, and integration [e.g., 27 and references therein; 28]. In thefirst phase, the trigger event, unexpected events occur that result in a sense of “inner discomfortand complexity”. This means that the problem or situation arrests attention that makes animpression that warrants further attention. During the think phase, to be most effective, thestudents’ task must pique their interest and

expertise in well-structured “building block”problems automatically translates into expertise in ill-structured (design) problems is perhaps anopen question, but several leading education researchers challenge this assumption and arguethat direct experience with ill-structured problems throughout the curriculum is necessary inorder to build expertise in activities such as engineering design1-6. We further note that ill-structured problems provide opportunities for students to anticipate topics from subsequentcourses and allow for smooth vertical integration; we adopt this approach here.The incorporation of simulation tools is important for its own sake and as reviewed inPapadopoulos et al. has several prior precedents7.

The concept of “hands-onlearning” is not new in engineering education. A previous study of engineering educationshowed that hands-on learning is an effective method for engineering classes.1 In fact, over thepast 10 years or so, many engineering schools and programs have started to adopt “hands-onlearning” into their curricula. Whether using simple everyday household items or sophisticatedequipment, professors are now trying to integrate hands-on learning into their classes.Laboratory activities are the traditional method of providing students hands-on experience.However, with advancements in
