collaborative research. First, from an engineering education perspective, he emphasizes the importance of communicating essential knowledge to non-engineers. The second per- spective comes from the mathematics education research literature. There is a well-established paradox: students often fail to apply familiar methods when they attempt to solve novel problems. Coordinating these perspectives has facilitated the collaboration across disciplines.Ms. Malissa Augustin, FAUSantiago Aguerrevere Page 26.1242.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Precision Low

This modelinvolves three phases for each unit that is taught: 1. The instructor decides what concepts and topics should be covered in the unit and articulates a collection of learning objectives that will eventually be assessed. 2. The instructor uses class time to present information on the main
