Literacy is an important goal of the liberal arts education. Students need to understand and appreciate the modern world to be able to make informed decisions about critical issues. • Students who understand the big ideas of engineering (for example, recognizing real-world constraints, trade-offs, and considerations of economics, environment and safety) may later understand their own discipline better.Others agree that engineering should be a component of the liberal arts education.

The theory and knowledge gained by students in each of thesecourses culminates in the thermo-fluid design capstone. This curriculum expects students to bringtheir combined aforementioned knowledge and technical skills to develop and produce a workingsystem as part of a team collaboration that meets the needs of their respective customers.

Although this alignment was unintentional, it ended up being an integral aspect of the interview process that allowed for greater comfortability and vulnerability in interviews. We believe that this aspect of shared identity amongst the researcher and students helped foster richness in the data and a deepened understanding of student experiences during analysis.

way of determining aconcept’s importance.Keywords: cognitive domain, mental models, undergraduate engineeringIntroductionLearning is an integral part of our lives. Each one of us learns the same things differently based onour preferred way of learning. We can learn by building mental models; through feelings,emotions, attitudes; and by physical movements. Based on this, the domains of learning are broadlycategorized as cognitive (knowledge), affective (attitudes), and psychomotor (skills) [1]. Eachdomain of learning focuses on one of three ways the brain can be engaged in learning. Thecognitive domain is focused on mental processes or thinking, the affective domain focuses onfeelings, attitudes, and behaviors, and the psychomotor domain
