integrated with coursework in thesciences. The courses in this new curriculum utilize active and cooperative learning techniquesto engage students in the learning process.Beginning first semester freshman year, engineering students are enrolled in a Project-basedIntroduction to Engineering course. This course is unlike introductory level engineering coursesoffered at other institutions in that it is part of the UNH core curriculum and as such is taken notonly by engineering majors, but also by students who are not studying engineering2. Thisprovides faculty with the opportunity to influence students’ perceptions about engineering, whichotherwise would not necessarily be exposed to engineering. The project-based course is one ofthe first courses

machinekinematics and dynamics courseIntroductionResearchers have recently identified past failure as an “essential prerequisite” for future success [1].Developing course structures to promote productive failure has received considerable interest inengineering education community. Failures during the undergraduate curriculum can help studentsbuild resiliency, humility and grit. However, persistence through failure is only productive if students arecapable of learning from their past failures [1, 2]. Unfortunately, the high stakes assessments typicallyused in traditional courses do not give students the opportunity to practice productive failure ordemonstrate an ability to learn from their mistakes. As a result, students prioritize earning “goodgrades

As a final project, the students ineach of the three classes were grouped in teams of no more than five students. Each team had tocreate a 3D design of a bridge and the final part of the assignment was to 3D print this bridge.

A highlight of the year is when we invite guest speakers to talk about their experiences as women in the engineering workplace. Hearing about how women have been and continue to be treated as engineers is an eye-opening discussion for the students. We also include practical applications for the students. For example, we discuss what they should do if they see someone disrespecting someone from an underrepresented group in the workplace. Another major theme in the course is ethics, where we study ethical dilemmas

. In the construction industry, architects typically use two-dimensional plans and writtenspecifications to communicate what is to be built to construction managers. Thus, being able tounderstand plans and working drawings is a critical skill for all areas of construction. Studentsmust learn how to read plans throughout the CEM curriculum since strong visual-spatial abilityis required to understand details of the finished structure and perform construction work.Mental reconstruction of three-dimensional models from a set of drawings and specifications isnot an easy task for novices.

for only the two online sections. This wasdone for two reasons. enrollment for the online sections (30 and 20 students) is considerably much largerthan that of the live section (13 students), and because the instructor felt that the micro-lessons wouldhave a larger impact on online students since they have less opportunities to interact with the instructor.Over the seven-week period in which the study was conducted, the instructor integrated five micro-lessons within the existing curriculum. The topics of these micro-lessons were: • Micro-lesson 1: chain corrections • Micro-lesson 2: profile leveling using Excel • Micro-lesson 3: bearing computations • Micro-lesson 4: balancing latitudes and departures • Micro-lesson
