Next steps will also be presented.Overview In an environment of increased scrutiny and accountability, engineering educationresearchers are being called upon to describe and defend the tangible impacts of their work on aregular basis. Having a shared language around the impact of engineering research will enablemembers of this community to effectively communicate it to diverse audiences and advocate forits support using consistent messages. Furthermore, a shared understanding among engineeringeducation researchers and practitioners of what impact looks like in our field lends itself to moreproductive conversations on how research can influence practice. Unfortunately, there is verylittle scholarship

By centering around a contemporary, complex, and open-ended problem, the learning experience relies on both technical and non-technical perspectivesfor feasible solutions. Therefore, students from all three areas of study offer necessarycontributions and have access to the skill sets, methods, and perspectives of their counterparts inthe other fields.

This extra burden on students is minimized throughthe effective use of CBT tools that can adapt to the student's instructional needs. Theintroduction of CBT tools into the curriculum brought with it the ability to impact other aspectsof the course and student learning. The interactive movies, games, quizzes, virtual world, andother resources offered on the instructional web sites developed for each involved class focusedon course fundamentals that are problematic for students.

Because CSU campuses offer one new, as yet not ABET-accredited, BMEprogram (San Jose State, 2015) and only three ChE degrees, students with these interests maynot be attracted to these campuses even though faculty in other disciplines teach courses, mentorprojects and do research in related topics.
