In most laboratory classes, students arechallenged to find solutions to authentic problems using a more hands-on or student centeredapproach to problem solving. By contrast, students in the lecture setting are usually giveninformation they will need as a basis for what they will learn in the laboratory setting. Forexample, in a robotics programming class students learn the actual language the robot uses in thelecture setting. Sample programs are shared with students to illustrate how the language works.Then, when entering the laboratory setting

In support of this endeavor, our engineering education Ph.D. program has afundamental course in the first year that are designed to introduce new engineering educationstudents into the research community. In this course, faculty are invited to share their researcharea and pathway into engineering education research. Another example of sharing “pathwaystories” is the Engineering Education Pioneers project (Atman, Turns, & Yasuhara, 2017) thatoffers a contemporary collection of rich stories and profiles of researchers and educatorsidentified as “pioneers” in the field of engineering education. The project is an example ofstorytelling to “shed light on past change efforts in engineering education in order to facilitatecontinuing

Those supporting the idea arguing on the one hand that it would “smooth therough edges of engineering students” and on the other hand that certain courses would bevaluable for careers”. Arguments for the “special value of everything from foreign languagesto literature, political science to philosophy” were given. Thus, some form of generaleducation (liberal study) came to be built into the engineering program and compete forsyllabus space.

Students are organized in small problem-solving design teams. Traditionallectures and evaluations are replaced with web-based instruction and hands-on projects. Computer toolsare employed where appropriate, and students are evaluated on both individual comprehension and groupexecution of the project.
