Given that the focus of this study was just the engineering design challengeportion of the unit, instances of EBR that occurred during the Process of Design were given oneof three codes: Plan, Implement & Test, or Evaluate. Implement and Test were combined becausethese steps were difficult to distinguish as they were done concurrently by students due to thenature of the design challenge. The iteration aspect of the design process was also accounted for;these three codes were also noted as occurring in the initial design phase or within the redesignphase.The third step was to take a close look at how students

The overallgoal of the project is to increase the number of well-educated STEM graduates for the benefit oflocal and global economy. One of the primary obstacles students face in degree attainment is lackof engagement with peers, faculty, campus services and career opportunities1, 2.

Discrete Simulation models may be used aspart of other courses (i.e. Production Planning, Design of Experiments, etc.) however, if studentsare expected to develop their own models, at least a whole course for a full semester would benecessary. The authors believe that it is crucial to teach modeling and simulation in engineeringtechnology particularly, at graduate level. The main reason is that the majority of graduatesassume managerial/supervisory positions as they grow in their field and modeling and simulationis a useful technique that helps them make better decision when
