incorporated CADD into their CivilEngineering curriculum in the 2007-2008 academic year in a junior-level site design course and asenior-level capstone course. Challenges associated with teaching and learning the designsoftware limited the ability of the student design teams to succeed in using the software to thedesired extent. Improvements for the following academic year involved faculty software trainingduring the summer and additional class and laboratory time dedicated to software learning usingtutorials for students during the semester. Student feedback on the use of tutorials was positiveas measured qualitatively through student feedback and quantitatively through evaluation ofcourse work products and exams.

Theprimary activity of the program was for each of the students to complete a research projectunder the supervision of a faculty. Each student was paired with a faculty mentor and workedon research projects ranging from software design, security and privacy, hardware fabricationto the study of the social implications

This approach is not areplacement for, but instead a supplement to traditional assignments and projects.This paper describes the results of that multi-year study implemented in different types ofelectrical engineering courses.

What may appear to be an unusual struggle withfundamental courses (e.g., math, physics and chemistry), along with the missing linkage ofSTEM practice, results in students’ losing motivation before they experience core curricula(typically at the junior/senior level) that are more directly connected to the subject of theirchoice. In contrast, by engaging in hands-on problem solving, undergraduate students experiencea shift from passive to active learning [21]–[23], improve their design and laboratory skills [24]–[27], ultimately resulting in improved confidence and interest in STEM courses and careers [28].More precisely, for first-year students, hands-on engineering courses retention rates have
