We propose that shifting some of the focus onto the process of learning that occurswithin the student and leveraging multiple known connections from educational psychology canresult in more effective engineering education. Here we define “effective” engineering educationas that which leads to greater retention of knowledge, accelerated skills development, andenhanced motivation for life-long learning. We have developed a curriculum design tool tofacilitate this shift. It is a diagram that makes explicit the connections between properties of the"learning environment" or "cognitive activity
