subject matter [1]. It is administered by the National Councilof Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES). The FE is typically taken around the timeof graduation; passing the FE is a requirement for becoming an Engineer in Training in the UnitedStates. After several years of work experience as an EIT, an engineer is eligible to take thePrinciples and Practice of Engineering exam (PE), which is a requirement for licensure. FEexams are available for chemical, civil, electrical and computer, environmental, industrial, andmechanical engineering; there is also an “other disciplines” exam. Some subjects, such asMechanical Design and Analysis, appear only on the FE Mechanical; other subjects includedifferent topics and are assessed differently on

Although much important research has been done since thepublication of that paper in 2005 on the methods of engineering laboratories, research continuesto be scarce on the purposes of engineering laboratories and the kinds of knowledge students areexpected to acquire in laboratory settings; however, literature from adjacent fields like physicsand chemistry is more developed in this regard.Zwickl et al. present an instrument known as the Colorado Learning Attitudes about ScienceSurvey for Experimental Physics (E-CLASS) [2].

A series of introductory seminars targets freshmen and sophomore studentsspecifically to expose them to research areas within a department. Other departmental seminarsconsist of weekly talks given by invited speakers from industry and research, thereby enablingstudents to learn about a broad range of engineering applications. Seminars are typically one tothree units and may be graded on a pass / fail basis.Students at SPri also have the opportunity to take independent study units to participate inresearch projects with faculty and their

engineering students at the University of Texas.9 In that study, Kolb’sLearning Style Inventory (LSI)10 consisting of four learning styles (convergent, divergent,assimilation, and accommodation)11 was used to determine the students’ learning styles. Theoverwhelming majority was almost equally split between convergers (learning stylecharacterized by problem solving, decision-making, and practical application of ideas) andassimilators (learning style characterized by inductive reasoning and the ability to createtheoretical models). Another example study was done at the University of Cincinnati under agrant from the U.S. National Science Foundation.12 Again, most engineering students were foundto be assimilators or convergers.

Allendorfer et al10 explore the ideathat a sense of belonging is a fundamental human motivation and is directly linked to academicoutcomes in higher education, including student persistence in a program. Family, clubs, andother outside communities strengthen a student’s engagement with his or her studies. Rodgers etal11 found that lack of belonging

Another would be to understand organizational change models 55,56,57 . Yet anotheris the integration of the liberal arts into engineering to form a T-shaped engineer 58 .

It could just as easily be driven by lectures,problem/project based or other inductive methods, a flipped classroom or could form the basis fora MOOC.6.4 Outside of Engineering and AcademiaThere are other possible applications for the PAC outside of traditional curricular offerings, outsideof engineering, and perhaps even outside of academia.

by student responses, the professor’s strategic decision to intentionally work step-by-step problems during class, greatly aided students’ understanding of theoretical concepts andtheir related applications. Moreover, this pedagogical technique helped to address and mitigatesome of the obstacles of remote learning and instruction.Instructional and Pedagogical Supports (Question 3)As mentioned in the previous section, the professor implemented several pedagogical andinstructional strategies to respond to the new learning environment. This included the decision toreduce the number of homework assignments and removed a semester project withoutcompromising academic standards.

This new graduation is centred on the student’s need to develop thenecessary professional skills, namely in areas like production, industrial maintenance andindustrial management. Curricular structure is strongly based on mathematics and physics.The adequacy of the graduation revealed the need to reinforce practical application ofknowledge, to intensify the use of problem based learning, to design new laboratorystrategies, to promote team work and to develop the fundamental skills in engineeringtraining. The new graduation design also resulted from analyzing similar graduations in referencecountries in engineering, such as Germany, the United
