resulted in identifying the need for combining course offerings ofa 4-year university and a nearby technical college. For the 4-year university, an associate ofscience degree requires a minimum of 60 credit hours (of which about half is university corecourses such as Composition, Algebra, and Social Science). A technical certificate requires aminimum of 18 hours. The number of hours for each program was determined by therequirements established by the institute’s governing body. Based on these constraints, thefollowing 2-year program was developed and approved by each institution’s curriculumcommittee, see Table 1.Table 1.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUNDAlmost two decades ago, the US National Academy of Engineering developed a list of the 20most significant and greatest engineering achievements of the 20th century which have had themost impact on the lives of people. Electrification, as supported by the electrical power grid, wasfirst on the list (compared to the Airplane, Telephone, and Internet which ranked 3rd, 9th, and13th respectively) [1]. Our century-old power grid is the largest interconnected machine onEarth, so massively complex and inextricably linked to human involvement and endeavor that it 1has alternatively

We received 47responses in the Fall 2016 semester and 101 responses in the Spring 2017 semester fromundergraduate and graduate students enrolled in Purdue’s Aeronautics and Astronauticsdepartment. Our initial statistical analysis indicates that there may be a correlation between astudent’s performance in and exposure to systems engineering-related classes and the student’sperformance on our survey.1 IntroductionAs the complexity of the systems we build increases, so does the demand for systems engineers[Hutchison et al., 2016; SERC, 2013; Chaput & Mark, 2013]. 23% of all engineers in the U.S. areover the age of 55, which means there

Nominally, the Australian engineering sector should be able to effectively meet thisneed for creativity and innovation. Having a creative and innovative demeanor is one of theexpected traits of a professional engineer within Australia, as set out by the Australianengineering accreditation body, Engineers Australia [3]. It is therefore important to assess ina global context, whether Australian engineering graduates do effectively possess therequired skills to be able to be creative.Despite the need for creativity, inclusion of material that is

Introduction and RationaleTraditionally in engineering education, student-centered lectures have been the predominantmodel of teaching. However, it has been suggested [1] that this may not be the most effectivemethod for imparting knowledge in all disciplines, as students may not be able to retain andapply knowledge they have gained to the extent that is required in their professional careers.Therefore the current push is towards flipped class rooms [2] and

Taken together, these documents constructthe department’s image of an ‘ideal engineer.’ Undergraduate students’ engineering identities have emerged as a prominent researchtopic among engineering educators. Identity—both in terms of social identities (i.e.,race/ethnicity, gender, etc.) and as engineers (i.e., viewing oneself as an engineering person)—has been found to play a role in undergraduate persistence [1], [2], retention [3], [4], [5], andeven teamwork [6], [7]. Recent research extends beyond assessing impact to understanding theconcept itself—for example, recent work has identified recognition and interest as key players inwhether or not a student will develop an engineering identity [8], [9], [10

Although Wing describes CT as a problem-solving approach that utilizesfundamental computing concepts, which is applicable not only for scientists but everyone, mostof the computational thinking instructional approaches are related to computer programming.Unfortunately, it is also unclear whether people use CT when solving non-programmingproblems. This study aims to answer two research questions: (1) In what ways do students usecomputational thinking skills when solving non-programming problems if any?; and (2) Ifstudents use CT when solving non-programming problems, in what ways do their approachesdiffer from computer science students?

Thecurricular model proposes restructuring engineering degree program towards: 1) shorterundergraduate programs that focus on developing horizontal transfer of knowledge ratherthan in-depth disciplinary knowledge and 2) periodic in-depth “educational renewal”throughout an individual’s career. This structure is grounded by, and emerges from,established models of liberal arts degree programs and is supported by decades of evidenceon the aspects of college which most impact long-term student development.

Memorize problems from the homework, in-class examples, or previous exams. 2. Match each problem on the exam to one of the memorized problems that most closely resembles it. 3. Write down the memorized solution, making adjustments along the way so that the solution looks more relevant to the exam problem.This strategy is often very effective at getting a passing grade or better, in large part because
