potentialimpact of the learning-centered pedagogies on students’ developing interests, life-long learningskills, and retention in engineering.Engineering students need more practical, first-hand experiences in their undergraduate years.Interning in industry is one way to give this first-hand experience to the students. However forthe engineering students to intern, they often need to be upper division students in their programof studies. The timing of the professional experience students receive as they intern iscounterproductive to the efforts to retain engineering students in their early college years. Themajority of the college students transfer from one major to another during the first years of theircollege education and students who leave

Main difficulties3.1 The facultyWe found that, due to their own training, there was great resistance within the faculty to theimplementation of this model. This resistance consisted partly of technical objections raisedmainly by teachers of core subjects such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, among others,who being unfamiliar with engineering problems were reluctant to support and integrate theprojects. On the other hand, there was also behavioral resistance from those teachers alreadyaccustomed to a routine of ready-made lessons who did not want to leave their comfort zones todevelop and implement new classes integrating the specificities of each

Furthermore, before students may be taught tothink holistically about the interdependency of physical sciences and the social sciences, arts,and humanities, faculty must build their appreciation for crossing discipline boundaries tointeract [4]. In engineering education, interdisciplinary learning is encouraged by theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Still, the reality of curricula formost institutions is that the social sciences, arts and humanities remain a separate-but-equaleducational process, and their relevance to engineering practice and decision-making often isminimized in the classroom.
