instructor andtextbook are usually the sources of authority, communicating knowledge down to the students.Research shows that students must engage in real-world uses of knowledge in order to transferclassroom concepts to practical problem solving in everyday situations.10 Students need toexplore, question, experiment, and formulate their own solutions. In prior courses, students areconditioned to solve problems with one “right answer,” and resist open-ended problems that aremore typical of future work environments. In transportation, students are often presented pre-established formulas or models without having the opportunity to develop their own modelsthrough data collection and analysis.As students listen to lectures about concepts, theories and

To address these challenges, a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded project wasinitiated to enhance the fundamental math skills of pre-engineering students at XXX and acommunity college in the Southwest (YYY). Conceptually-rich applications were developed todemonstrate the practical application of fundamental math concepts in engineering and computerscience fields, aiming to bridge the gap between abstract math and real-world engineeringcontexts.Two Canvas applications, "Let’s build" and "Viva Las Vegas" were created to illustrate theapplication of elementary functions, such as linear and quadratic functions, in civil andmechanical engineering.

Therefore, the curriculum ofengineering education must match the needs to resolve real-world sophisticated and authenticproblems. Moreover, the curriculum of engineering education needs to cultivate students’capability not only of deep perspective to a particular problem but also divergent thinking.This view is supported by the theory of Conceptual Learning and Development (CLD), whichsuggests that taught theoretical concepts should be linked to related engineering problems 2.With the rapid change in the structure of the competitive market, those talents who arecapable of embarking on independent design and skillful in innovation

In return, many of the companies rely onPNW for interns or future employees.Since 2019, there is a 18% rise in projects involving industry within the CEMT program. This isattributed to the growing involvement of the industrial advisory board, combined with a revisionin the Senior Survey course to force students to branch out to different faculty members who canshare available projects they have with industry partners.

As a result, many studentsbecome “indigestive”, even though with high scores, often do poorly when it comes to thepractical application of what they have learned [4]. In order to improve this situation, Chinesemechanical engineering educators have used the educational reforms of other countries forreference.

Also, by implementing differenttypes of controllers they learned to evaluate the performance of each controller, and obtained a bettersense of the characteristic of the different controllers. Overall, qualitative comments of students indicatethat the addition of the team based-project have been a positive addition to the control systems course,that have allowed them to have a better understanding of what a control system is, and how it can beapplied to the real world applications.

First, delivery is asynchronous, so the student can view the lecturewhenever it is convenient, and as many times as necessary. Second, if properly designed, itallows the student to choose the order in which material is presented. For example, somestudents prefer theory before application. Others prefer application before theory3. A well-designed web-based lecture can have links to both theory and application, side by side, and the Page 5.620.2student can select the order. A

If we define engineering as the application of math and science in service to humanity, these tenets must include study of the human condition, the human experience, the human record.4When the engineering mindset is complemented with a broader education in the humanities, itbecomes a valuable asset for assessing various views of the world, and greatly informs problemsolving activities.
