Students were able to ask a question, conduct andexperiment, and communicate the results in a clear and easy to understand format to an authenticaudience. They also learned gastronomy skills, like using a knife, figuring out how to pipette,and the artistic plating of a finished dish. Molecular gastronomy was used to increase student content knowledge and skillsassociated with macromolecules throughout a 10-week unit on food science that related to the9th grade biology and chemistry curriculum. All students demonstrated mastery of theengineering design

2013 2014 Year Figure 1: Change in First Year Students, 2010 to 2014.The College recognized that one of its hallmarks--the successful integration of academic andcareer advising by faculty--had become difficult to sustain. The needs of first-year engineeringstudents were of particular concern since, in addition to managing the transition from high schoolto college, engineering students must handle the rigors of an academically challenging program.While retention remained high, the college decided to prevent any future drop by proactivelyimproving the advising program.The College adopted a dual approach targeting

Furthermore, there is a lack ofprogram outcomes assessments for Project Infinity, while reports on PLTW have shown existingissues. For instance, a curriculum content analysis concluded that the PLTW curriculumaddressed fewer content standards and showed far fewer points of integration of mathematicalknowledge than would be expected 3. Further, other published empirical studies showed mixedresults from state achievement test scores 4. In addition, neither of these two programs arealigned with the current standards.

The solution may very well be an integrative experience or course that tiesmany of the subject areas together and shows relevant application to many of the topics. Such anexperience can promote interests in mechanical engineering beyond the classroom fundamentals.Additionally, designing a meaningful integrative mechanical engineering experience is anexcellent opportunity to realign the curriculum with the needs of society.

Criterion 3 and Criterion 4 make it clear thatthese integrated parts include knowledge and abilities from the humanities and social sciences aswell as from the technical areas of the curriculum. Since students cannot integrate knowledgeand abilities they do not have, these criteria are calling for course work and educationalexperiences throughout the four years that ground students in the concepts and methods of thehumanities and social sciences. Moreover, since students cannot integrate liberal knowledge andabilities successfully without practice, these criteria also are calling for engineering curricula togive them this practice and thereby develop students’ ability to produce an integratedmultidisciplinary design.
