computational con-tents to a thermodynamics class not only increases students’ understanding of the class materials,but also increases their confidence of doing computational simulations overall.In the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, our faculty team has developed a program to integrate computational modules intoexisting core classes of the undergraduate curriculum. With such a scheme, we provide computa-tional training without adding additional classes to the curriculum.[4, 5] In this paper, we reportrecent progress of this program, we analyze feedback obtained from the students, and we discussthe impact of the program on senior-level elective classes that focus entirely on

Many from this groupare immigrants and first generation college students. As a collective group, they have had verylittle exposure to mechanical systems. This limited exposure allows for conceptual gaps in theirunderstanding of mechanical systems. To address these conceptual gaps, we implement twoInteractive Engagement strategies. These strategies “promote conceptual understanding throughinteractive engagement of students in heads-on (always) and hands-on (usually) activities whichyield immediate feedback through discussion.” 1 The positive impact of student engagement

ABET statesthat by graduation students should have "a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage inlife-long learning."3At The Ohio State University’s Engineering Education Innovation Center (EEIC), students areoffered a wide range of engineering courses through the first-year engineering program and asenior-year multidisciplinary capstone program.

The customers like the hamster habitat cages that are currentlyoffered, but they have been asking for a way to expand the habitat cages so their hamsters canhave more room to run and explore. The pet store owner elicits students’ help by asking them toshare their ideas on how to expand the hamster habitat. Throughout this curriculum, students engage in the engineering design process, as theyask their client questions, help their client define the problem, and identify the criteria of theproblem to be solved.

Based on informal feedback from students'journal reflections and my own observations of students writing and classroom talk, students feelmore engaged with and invested in the Technical Writing course because they clearly see theconnection to requirements and expectations for student writing and communication in upper-level engineering courses.

Despite the growingpopularity of the flipped classroom model in higher education, this model has received less attention inengineering [2]. The need for engineering graduates to be able to solve real-world problems and work in teamssuggests the merit in flipping engineering courses.
