. In particular, the sustainability of earthen materials was highlighted (e.g., low CO 2emission, better thermal properties, low energy demand, etc.). An experimental testing lab session,“compression testing of compressed earth blocks,” was introduced to the students. Theresearchers/instructors collaborated with ECI for the acquisition of earth blocks and the design of thetesting procedure. The experimental testing of specimens was conducted by the students and theywere required to analyze the results and prepare a technical laboratory report. The inclusion of thisexperimental testing offers students hands-on (experiential) learning opportunities to enhance theirunderstanding of sustainable construction materials and how they can be

, while puzzle games primarily enhancemotivation and critical thinking skills [27].Physics EducationGamification for physics education is commonly implemented in the form of non-serious playwhereby lectures are supplemented by online laboratories. Physics Education Technology(PhET) is one of the most used examples of this [28] [29]. PhET consists of a set of manyindividual simulations that allow the user to modify various elements, such as the coefficients asystem operates on or the elements included in the simulation. One example, of many [30], ispresented in Figure 3 whereby experimentation of capacitor variables can be explored. Thesesimulations represent a method for educators to easily allow students to experiment safely [29

Can a Body Do? How We Meet the Built World, the artist, design researcher, and OlinCollege professor Sara Hendren writes, “Engineering is not the science of the laboratory alone…It is fundamentally applied, which means its results live in the world. It belongs to people, notjust as ‘users’ but as protagonists of their dimensional lives” [1, p. 23]. Hendren’s invocation of avision of engineering as radically human-centered provided the philosophical and humanisticcore to our interdisciplinary teaching team as we embarked on designing a new course forfirst-year students at Boston College (BC).

focus beyond the skillsand theory needed for laboratory work detracts from the focused nature of the program. In thiscontext, our ABET visit was used as a catalyst for change. Beyond the reflection engendered bythe process, following the visit one concern was that curricular limitations did not allow studentsto take a sufficient number of electives. This finding resulted in faculty more broadly looking atthe curriculum rather than just specific, focused changes in existing courses.The second and third factors—a new chair and young faculty—were simply coincidental since anew, external department chair had been hired less than two years before the ABET visit at atime when 70% of the faculty in the department had been at PALACE for less than a

The USMA graduateexceeds what is expected from the undergraduate experience in the BOK in the areas ofcommunication and leadership, largely due to the additional opportunities they have to practiceboth in realistic settings.The areas where USMA students fall short according to the initial assessment are in Outcomes 2(Experiments, Analyze and Interpret), 5 (Solve Engineering Problems), 12 (Specialized Area),and 9 (Lifelong Learning).
