, academic engineering curricula tends to focus on developing thetechnical skills of the students, overlooking the soft skills or 21st century skills that are just asimportant. The 21st century skills include critical thinking, communication, teamworkcollaboration, metacognitive awareness, and creativity. Developing such skills will enable futureengineers to effectively engage in interdisciplinary endeavors and adapt to changes in nationalpolicies and emergent technologies. This paper presents a project that integrates 21st century skilldevelopment (i.e., metacognitive awareness, constructive thinking, and communication) into amanufacturing systems course. In this course, students learn about manufacturing systemsthrough a series of teamwork-based

well.IntroductionDigital logic design is a topic required by most ECE programs, based on curricularecommendations of IEEE and ABET. In such courses, students are taught how to design digitalcircuits to produce a set of output signals from a set of inputs through use of logic gates,registers, multiplexers, and other fundamental components. Students are also taughtfundamentals such as Boolean algebra, sequential logic, finite state machines, and combinationallogic. These skills are required to learn more complex concepts, for example, computerarchitecture, networking, and electronic systems. Thus, an early exposure to digital logic isnecessary for engineering students.As technology advances, universities and colleges struggle to prepare students for the tools

techniques to study these materialsare pioneer in the field of materials science and engineering and most of them are still in theresearch stage. For most students, realizing these advanced materials and technology is their firsttime. Therefore, it is a challenge to for students to understand the course material in depth. Inorder to overcome this challenge, experimental studies are introduced as part of the coursethrough an active learning platform. Overall, four labs are designed and conducted to investigatethe properties and performance of piezoelectric materials and shape memory alloys.

students’ academic careers.IntroductionThere are several studies which detail the benefit of student collaboration and networking [1],[2]. However, there are not always adequate opportunities for students to network andcollaborate with other students and faculty outside of their home institution. Therefore a summerprogram was developed by the FEEDER (Foundations in Engineering Education for DistributedEnergy Resources) Consortium, in hopes to not only increase the ability for students to networkand collaborate, but to expose the students to a wide variety of technologies that they could notsee otherwise. This strengthens several of the soft skills that are very important in thedevelopment of a young engineer’s career, but are often times

Multiple factors contribute to retention issues, such as poor teaching and advising, the difficulty of the engineering curriculum, and lack of motivation resulting from poor connections to the engineering community. Statistics indicate a large drop in the continuation rate between the first and third years among Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) students. As students encounter increasing course difficulty in the early stages of their programs, they often lack motivation to persist because they have weak connections to their majors and potential careers in STEM.
