concept.  Materials on ‘soft skills’ such as communication, teaming, and project planning may be more universally transferrable.  The application of the engineering design process is sufficiently unique for each course to potentially require individualized university-specific introduction videos.  In-class exercises need more context and definition.  Quizzes need to address higher levels on Bloom’s Taxonomy rather than just recall, understanding, and comprehension.  There is currently no consensus on best practices to achieve high compliance of participation for out-of-class activities (watching videos, completing quizzes).Through collaboration with other engineering faculty at the FYEE conference

assessed anintegrated student project that is the overarching theme of engineering curriculumcontextualization at sophomore level. The project is part of the Sophomore Unified CoreCurriculum for Engineering Education (SUCCEEd) program, funded by the National ScienceFoundation that seeks to integrate classes in the engineering core curriculum. The paperdescribes a house remodeling project that is used to integrate four lower division engineeringcore courses, namely, statics, programming, matrix algebra and CAD, and how it can be used tomeet soft skills required by ABET. The manuscript concludes by including program assessmentand recommendations based on what has been learned during project implementation.IntroductionThis article describes the
