changes. The iteration aims to ground our work in praxis [12] and transform thecurriculum through reflective action.Conceptualizing the engineering curriculumWe would like to start by clarifying what we mean by a curriculum because the definitions ofa curriculum range from everything that happens in a course [13] to a plan for learning [14]to the materials used for teaching [15], [16]. The word curriculum is often not even defined inthe literature, assuming a shared understanding of this word. However, it is crucial to definecurricula since they are not ahistorical or apolitical. Like knowledge, curricula are sociallyconstructed and reflect the ideologies of those in power [15]–[18]. Dei [18] insists that thecurriculum is “a social construction

anincreasingly essential skill for engineers. This requires not only knowledge of statisticalconcepts related to DOE, but also the ability to integrate this methodology with fundamentalengineering principles toward designing and understanding experiments. However, currentengineering curriculums have not fully adapted to this need in the engineering industry. In the1970s and 1980s, the absence of sound statistical methods in the engineering work place led to acrisis in US industry where a large percentage of the market share went overseas. This crisis wasfirst reflected in the manufacture of automobiles and then in the process-oriented manufacture ofintegrated circuits.1,2 Only with the industrial investment towards quality, largely through the

There are several studies [1-3], including meta studies [4-6], that show theeffectiveness of PBL, especially in terms of increased understanding, motivating students,retaining students, and helping to bridge the gaps between the classroom and workplace​. ​Beingable to work on real-world problems in a group setting is an important, necessary step tobecoming a successful engineer; though, there is more to being a good engineer than simplybeing able to solve problems.

However, all threeengineering factors were significant predictors in that model. Comparatively, the stand-alone model using just the engineering factors explained nearly the same proportion ofvariance in engineering identity as the combined model, 28.9%. These findings indicatethat while students’ math and physics beliefs are important to predicting engineeringidentity, their engineering beliefs provide equivalent explanatory power. Future researchwould be better informed through an understanding of how these three domain areascontribute to our understanding of identity and other outcomes.Introduction Engineering
