Specifically, we provide a matrix of 22concrete ILOs for WSP literacy, as well as two different approaches to assessing (some of) themin engineering education. We expect that engineering educators will find these ILOs andassessment strategies valuable for adopting a constructive alignment approach for WSP literacyin their teaching.Study overviewThe study reported on in this paper is a collaborative action research project in which theresearchers have worked together with different groups of interested engineering educators tomake sense of previous empirical research about engineering students

This map couldalso help to identify emerging disciplinary fractures.Defining blended learningBlended learning and instruction are ill-defined in research studies9 .

Kirchhoff’s voltage lawis always true despite its obvious violation of Faraday’s law of induced EMF. The danger of thispremature specialization of engineering education becomes apparent when engineers from onediscipline work in teams with engineers from other disciplines and find they have no commonunderstanding of problems outside of their own engineering discipline. 2The authors have collaborated in teaching an advanced survey course on the physical sciencefoundations of engineering to graduate engineering students in an engineering leadershipprogram. The elevator speech on why such a course is needed goes as follows: 1) mostengineering students take all of their basic science courses during their Freshman year, 2) mostof them don’t like those
