and group projects, and case studies within four major units of inquiry: 1) Learning to Listen, 2) Responsible Conduct of Research, 3) Responsible Conduct of Practice, 4) Witnessing Wrongdoing and the Obligation to Prevent Harm. A major motivation in developing this course was to prioritize listening as a core component of engineering practice and to consider the perspectives of non-experts (i.e., non-engineers, non- scientists, non-architects, etc.) in conventional decision-making processes [1], [2]. The course provides practices in and reflection on empathetic and in-depth listening. Some of the major questions that guide the

Students assembled andtested stages starting with the audio output stage. They worked backwards towards the receiverfront-end. They simulated some stages in the receiver, but needed more information on thetransformers.

The curriculum for these courses (engineering analysis, design, computerprogramming, technical communication, the engineering profession) is applicable to allengineering disciplines, however, the six credit hours that they occupy are in high demand inevery degree program.According to Christopher Rowe (Rowe, et al., 2005), “Approximately 40% of the first-yearengineering students at Vanderbilt University are unsure of their major upon entering theuniversity.” To help students make an informed decision before getting

Once the students understandthe fundamental concept of the curve matching in Theis method, it can be easily performed usingthis tool. Since the entire method can be performed exclusively in EXCEL, the instructor maydemonstrate the use of this tool following the step-by-step procedure described in the previoussection by projecting the laptop screenshots on to the large screen in the class room.

The literaturesuggests that through these methods students engage higher-order thinking tasks which in turnpromote stronger development of necessary problem solving skills5. Students who learn by thesemethods have been found to have better overall achievement as well as improved criticalthinking skills4. These skills thus better prepare the student for life-long learning when comparedagainst a traditional lecture-only approach. By asking students to complete an assignment wherethey had to identify a system or object in static equilibrium, it was intended for the student tobegin to look beyond their textbook and relate the course material with their surroundings.Similar work by others has demonstrated success in

Engineering educators faced aparticular challenge in providing a virtual substitute for the lab-based, hands-on experiences andteamwork that their discipline demands8.The immediate challenges in the transition to remote research were to learn how to focus on thetopic of investigation, to work in an online team environment and to manage time efficiently.

Thus, our approach also emphasizes the characteristics of thecohort rather than just the those of the individual students. Our cohort criteria are (1) The studentsshould come from different schools. We have learned that group dynamics can suffer if a subset ofstudents is from a single school. (2) The students must plausibly fit within a range of possibleresearch projects because we cannot place all the students in just one or two research labs.

IntroductionFor an engineering degree to be generally accepted, it must come from an institution whose degreeprograms have been certified by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).One of the essential major components to achieve program accreditation by ABET is the approval ofits capstone design activities, which are commonly referred to as its senior design courses. We havefound that a student’s successful completion of his (her) engineering design project is muchdependent of his (her) engineering mathematics background.
