face once they enter the workforce. Typicalquestions that an employed young engineer can face include: How should I invest my money?What issues will I face now that my work has sent me to a foreign country? How do I negotiateand when is it acceptable to negotiate? How do I create my own company? Although anacademic course is unable to address all of these issues in an in-depth manner, exposure to theseand other non-technical issues will be of great benefit to students. To address these voids in student knowledge, a 3 credit hour course at the University ofMichigan at Ann Arbor, entitled Problem Solving, Troubleshooting, Entrepreneurship andMaking the Transition to the Work Place, was created to address some of these aforementionedissues

Current instructors are seeing a massive difference in the atmosphere between onlineand in-person modes of instruction. Many students find the online class settings daunting due toa lack of social interactions and difficulties concentrating [23]. They face additional challengesas many instructors are not properly trained to adapt their curriculum to an online setting [16].To combat inefficient classroom settings many researchers have studied the

A significant emphasis was placed on developing a conceptual understandingthroughout Engineering Thermodynamics and, given the high percentage of reflective learners inthe class, this approach was likely appreciated (at least in terms of learning) because a thoroughexplanation of the correct answer was given for every concept test implemented in the course.Case Study 2 indicated a possible significant change in thinking by Student Y from pre- courseto post-course regarding learning from a correct answer.

We replaced one question from each of the sixhomework assignments with design challenge deliverables. Students worked in subteams on oneof the three algal production phases (i.e., growth, harvest, extraction). They also developedindividual accountability through jigsaw sessions in which they explained their subteam’s workto students from other production phases. They built whole-class consensus through “parley”sessions that involved decision matrices.We describe the design challenge and our study, in which we investigated how a designchallenge threaded through a sophomore course might provide students with a picture ofauthentic
