resources of educators and students, a technological solution is proposedto address the problems with concept learning in individual courses. A set of software tools hasbeen developed to design, deliver, and evaluate course material through the Internet. Thesoftware tools also provide a means of relating material between different courses to promoteconceptual learning within and between courses. As such, these tools employ the concepts ofcurriculum integration and are termed the Integrated Curriculum Delivery System. Thus, byintegrating the knowledge content of distinct courses into a unified whole, the IntegratedCurriculum Delivery System seeks to provide information to educators and students in a mannerthat will support deeper conceptual

We assessed whether the project achieved the content and skill-oriented objectives bysurveying students quantitatively and qualitatively. Our quantitative and qualitative data suggest that students achieved many of theseobjectives. Notably, student perception data suggest increases in: their appreciation for coding,sensing, and data analysis for CEE; their ability to integrate sensing and data-informed decisionmaking; and their understanding of the potential impact of smart cities.

Understanding technical literature is challenging even for the very engineerswho are versed in the vocabulary and procedures of their discipline. Hence, training non-engineer students to use this literature is a substantial challenge. Over the course of several years,the ACRL framework for information literacy in higher education has been integrated into theengineering curriculum.
