The theories of System Dynamics, Dynamic Systems, andOptimization are woven together with concepts from engineering design, engineering science, andsustainability taught in other courses in the curriculum. A five stage analysis process is utilized toprovide structure for the course content, as well as model the complete analysis thought process withfeedback loops scaffolding the students in their application and synthesis of the course material. Avariety of pedagogical approaches, including deep, collaborative, and problem-based learning, havebeen utilized to develop the course learning activities and materials. The
educational efforts in pedagogical content knowledge are guided by a research theme centered in student learning of engineer- ing design thinking on the secondary level. Nathan was a former middle and high school technology educator in Montana prior to pursuing a doctoral degree. He was a National Center for Engineering and Technology Education (NCETE) Fellow at Utah State University while pursuing a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction.

Beyond theargument of the usefulness of specific lessons learned and technical content noted in the previoussubsection, teaching this subject can make an important process-centric contribution by “equip[ping] graduates with a broader perspective on their disciplines, in order to be able to look beyond the technical issues and integrate multidisciplinary safety considerations into their decision-making [later in their

There is also diversity in the focus of the authors’ universities, with mostuniversities being hybrid (focus on both research and teaching) while some universities focuson only research or teaching.The programs managed by the authors range from those expecting OBE accreditation to thosethat have been accredited for more than 20 years.

Collaborative, cooperative, and problem-based learning are among the mostthoroughly discussed active learning methods2–5.The Engage Engineering project utilizes problem-based learning as one of “three research-basedstrategies to improve student day-to-day classroom and educational experience,” referred to asE3s or Everyday Examples in Engineering1. Motivated by the idea that students learn better whenthey are comfortable with the context and meaning of the teaching examples used in lessons, theEveryday Examples in Engineering project uses objects that students are familiar with (iPods,sausages, bicycles, etc.) to teach fundamental engineering concepts6-7

Examples include making the comparison between concept maps from expert EM facultyand practicing entrepreneurs/intrapreneurs or perhaps comparing the differences in the EMconcept maps generated by first-year students with those that are about to graduate from theirundergraduate

Adult learning theory supports the positiveinfluence of student engagement, but this engagement may be different from universityclassroom settings. There is an abundance of literature that indicates student engagement in thelearning experience is important for student learning and other important educational outcomes.There is also evidence that the adoption of engaging teaching practices in professionaldevelopment settings is limited. Much of the research on adoption is done in K-16 settings,which fails to address the impact among a

Additionally, when students are asked to write short-answer responses to explain their reasoning to concept questions, it has been observed toimprove student performance, engagement, and prepare students for group discussion [15], [16].These responses provide instructors and researchers with a wealth of information regardingstudent thinking [17].

the Duration of InterventionV. DiscussionWe identified and reviewed 32 ASEE conference papers comprising of 44 studies oninterventions in teaching circuits published over the last 10 years. Through this work, weaddressed the following research questions, What kind of interventions were conducted incircuits education and what impact did these interventions have on student performance? anddiscussed findings based on the coding schemes.Class Modes and COVID-19We expect that the main reason for 69% of the interventions identified to be conducted for in-person classrooms compared to online and hybrid classrooms is the dates of the articles electedto study: 2014 to 2023. Since COVID-19 happened at the end of this period, most of theinterventions
challenges: firstly to cater for the interestsand backgrounds of these diverse students during their professional education (one focus of thispaper) and then to change the culture of the engineering workforce and workplace to ensure thatthey can be comfortable and succeed in their profession [1, 3, 4].Why should increasing diversity in the classroom lead to changes in the curriculum?The most common and persistent concern of engineering departments relating to diversity is toimprove the recruitment and retention of women, initially as engineering students, but ultimatelyfor employment in the profession. Increasing the representation of women in the engineeringworkforce is desirable for the following reasons: · social justice considerations

National Research Council3 criticized undergraduate engineering curricula for notreflecting the shifting needs of the engineering profession by saying that these curricula are“lacking the essential interdisciplinary character of modern design practice” (p. 4). As a result,NRC claimed, engineering graduates are poorly prepared to utilize “scientific, mathematical, andanalytical knowledge in the design of high-quality components, processes, and systems”. TheABET Engineering Criteria (earlier called Engineering Criteria 2000) reinforce theseperspectives as has the National Science Foundation in the last decade.4Curricular reform efforts have focused on developing new paradigms for engineering education,including an emphasis on active student learning

Overall, this innovative coursework serves as a strong model for integrating appliedentrepreneurial experiences into engineering education, preparing students not only for theircapstone projects but also for their professional workspaces.

100After the full text appraisal, the 36 results were classified according to six emergent categories by their keyfocus, as summarized in Table 6. The most common focus of papers on capstone projects was related to thestructure and experience of one specific capstone project, which implied that only well-designed projects werepossibly effective in accomplishing multidisciplinary engineering education. Particularly, there was also atendency to introduce system engineering in other engineering fields to contribute to a more reasonable designof multidisciplinary capstone projects [11-14]. However, only a few articles cast insights on assessment orproject work or student learning, suggesting a need for further research to identify which kinds
