Of the students reporting, 7 completedtroubleshooting visually; 2 people used the multimeter; no one used the oscilloscope; and onestudent wrote that s/he “tried everything” (Table 1). A key objective of these labs is for studentsto encounter problems building the circuit and have to invoke circuit debugging techniques.

Franklin D. Roosevelt criticized engineeringschools for not doing more to train engineering students in social and professional skills.56 Anumber of leading engineering schools including Carnegie, Cornell, MIT, Purdue, and Yale didrevise their programs to include more non-technical courses.In the late 1920s, SPEE began organizing summer schools in an effort to improve teaching andencourage curriculum development. The 1932 Summer School, which was held at Ohio StateUniversity and the Stevens Institute of Technology, focused on English instruction. One of thesessions was devoted to “Teaching Literature in Engineering Colleges.” The instructors includedH. S. Leach, a librarian from Lehigh University.57In 1933, Columbia University began requiring its
