This was submitted to our collegecurriculum committee, and we will be provided feedback that we will have the opportunity toaddress before the plans are sent to the provost’s office.Summary of lessons learned • Keep the whole process student-centered. There were several other constraints that came up as concerns from a variety of people (e.g. faculty workload, lab space, ownership of certain courses). When these issues came up, they were often very concerning and stressful for those who were worried about them

At thesame time, graduating engineers are moving into an increasingly interdisciplinary workplace thatvalues the ability to work broadly across a range of contexts. More work is needed to betterprepare students to adapt their knowledge and skills to new situations and to demonstrate howthe various courses and concepts within their curricula relate.In this study, we ask students, teaching assistants and faculty to “think aloud” through theirsolution to an engineering statics problem that requires mathematical knowledge to betransferred in order to be solved.

However, both pedagogical approaches need to interface with problem-basedlearning methods. The author argues that successful students overcome task difficulties byusing a layer proposal to address multidiscipline concerns ranging from stakeholder analysis,social and life cycle assessment, and big issues such as climate, resources, waste etc. Theproposal effectively measures students’ progress towards achieving their task.

In some lectures, historical figures or case studies are only discussed for about 10 minutes. Additionally, we've reduced the number of in-class quizzes to make room in class periods for adoption of new materials.• Several student ideas, such as integrating history into lab experiments, highlighting key figures in chapters, and using videos to spark curiosity, can inform recommendations for future course development.• One student suggested creating an optional open discussion forum on Brightspace for sharing

For this study, to avoidconfusion with other definitions of course interventions, we defined an intervention in highereducation as follows: An action or change conducted by an instructor to address an area ofconcern, to test for possible improvements, or to study the effects the action or the change onstudents. These interventions can be recognized when they are researched, documented, andpublished, such as through the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) conferencepapers and journals.While there have been many published ASEE conference papers on Statics course interventions,we could not find a systematic review
