Because the topic of systems engineering was new to all the students and many of thefaculty involved on the project, the team members needed to be taught how to perform every step inthe process. Essentially, no background experience could be assumed. The primary lead instructorson the Scorpio project had the responsibility of ensuring that the students understood every step ofthe systems engineering process and completed them correctly.

part of electrical and computer engineeringexpands, it is necessary for us to explore how curriculum design should be addressed. If we areto prepare students for a career in modern industry, it is imperative that we reconsider the skill-set that an undergraduate needs to succeed.19 Virtually none of our undergraduates go intosingle-topic specialties with their undergraduate degrees; they are members of multi-disciplinarydesign teams and are frequently in leadership-track positions in which they must considertechnological problems with concerns for the complex relationships across topics - theboundaries are fuzzier than ever.At the University of Virginia we are addressing this with a new breadth-first curriculum thatplaces a strong emphasis on

IntroductionIn Fall 2021, when I was assigned to teach the Geotechnical Engineering course, a third-yearrequired undergraduate class in Civil Engineering, I was concerned. Students generally perceive thiscourse as challenging, leading many to delay taking it until their final year. And for some, it is thecourse that stands between them and their dream job.

. Implementation of this experience was motivatedby low retention rates for electrical engineering students. Students who failed to remain in EECSfor their sophomore year apparently were handicapped by a lack of an intuitive feel for electricalengineering and a lack of understanding of how and why the various required courses would fittogether to form a well-rounded curriculum.To address these issues, EECS at SDSU is implementing a new FOCUSED (Focused OngoingConcentrated Undergraduate Sequence in Engineering Design) in the Electrical Engineeringprogram. Three years of our department-wide (both EE and CS) freshman robotics experienceand two years of our EE specific EE 102 class have now been completed. Retention going intothe sophomore year has

Whatteachers do, however, still matters for they are the ones creating the learning opportunities, but itis the students who are the concern of those faculty using student-centered teaching. If theintention is to produce deeper learning, there is evidence that ‘learner activity’ and ‘interactions

(A)From the responses provided by the students, several emergent themes regarding changes inattitudes or beliefs can be identified:(1) Increased Environmental Awareness: Many students expressed a shift in their attitudes toward environmental issues, particularly regarding climate change and sustainability. Some students admitted to previously underestimating the severity of climate change but have since developed a deeper understanding of its magnitude through their experiences in the program. They acknowledged the urgency of addressing environmental challenges

Instead, therating scales were designed to provide information about the prevalence of activities, amount ofovert guidance provided, or perceived balance of responsibilities. For example, rather thanasking students to rate the quality of the instructor’s technical advice as excellent, good, fair, orpoor, the supplemental evaluation asked: “When you discussed design and technical issues with the instructor, they: • told you exactly what you should do • tried to convince you to take particular actions • provided suggestions but did not make decisions for you • listened to your concerns but gave no suggestions • did not seem

Instead, the goal is to evolve the curriculum inmachine design to address the contemporary needs and goals of our students.2.1 Development History:The development of an evolved machine design course occurred, first, at the United States AirForce Academy during the Fall of 1997.
