When the students arrive to the in-class session, they are given a short multiple choice andtrue/false quiz that covers the general topics of the prerecorded lecture. The quiz questions are simple andderived entirely from the prerecorded lecture. Any student who watched the lecture should be able toanswer the questions correctly. After the quiz, the lecturer gives a brief overview of the prerecordedlecture topics and provides time for student questions. The class then transitions to a discussion ofpractical applications of the lecture content with the lecturer asking the students questions to provokediscussion.

To achieve this goal, the network has defined theentrepreneurial mindset in the context of engineering as the combination of curiosity,connections, and creating value, coupled with engineering thought and action, expressed throughcollaboration and communication, and founded on character [2].

methods such as Construction Management at Risk, Design/Build,Lean Construction, and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) now account for most constructioncontracts.1 However, the use of these increasingly collaborative project delivery systems does notensure collaboration. For example, although Lean Construction proponents frequently employthe principles of IPD, success does not occur on every project. The reasons for failures areconsiderable, but one commonly cited cause is the inability of the construction managers, onthese projects, to manage conflict in a cooperative manner or adjust their mindsets to operatewithin a collaborative framework. Although individuals with strong records of success onprevious projects are often selected to manage

However, maintainingstudent engagement in the classroom has become increasingly difficult in recent years.

. Nevertheless,not many studies have focused on in-class engagement. One example is a study that, using alimited sample of students in a mathematics course, investigated whether different engagementdimensions can predict student achievement in the course [5]. A different study, conducted in achemical engineering course, dug deeper into in-class engagement and explored it throughout onelecture period [6]. Student engagement here was measured generally, i.e., students simply ratedtheir overall engagement at different time points of one lecture. As a result, the author identifiedsix student engagement types: (1) students who engaged strongly at the beginning of the classperiod and then slowly disengaged; (2) students who were disengaged at the beginning

It leverages thedepartment’s small size and close ties with industry to create a culture of “Engineering withEngineers.” Details of the program changes in progress can be viewed as part of the 2018 and2019 ASEE NSF Grantees’ poster sessions and papers [1], [2].

However, recent research [1] indicate that there areseveral knowledge deficiencies in the learning outcomes of students who graduate fromcomputer science and software engineering courses. Many students don’t meet industryexpectations for technical proficiency. This outcome can be traced to a lack of comprehension ofprincipal programming ideas leading to the creation of poorly developed software.
