uninteresting. The central concept which I seek to convey tostudents is the realization that All science was new at some point.With the vast attention to detail in many engineering classrooms, this truism is easily forgotten.This is reflected in the often omission of historical context of topics in both engineering textsand lecture halls. Some texts1 make attempts to provide brief sketches of famous scientists whomade fundamental contributions to the discipline, yet these descriptions are often superficial incontent and rarely enter discussion in the classroom. The proposed course will use excerpts fromthe original publications written by the magnates of science and mathematics who have madefundamental contributions to modern science. Since this course

Our initial data indicate that U.S.universities continue to struggle to define themselves at this nexus.It is also evident that the various “structural” features that we reference in our study designfunction in complex, interdependent, and generally non-deterministic ways that approach thecomplexities of an ecosystem. For example, while much of the focus on professional skill sets—especially teamwork, communication (writing and presentation), and design—have occurredwithin

ofwhom were already aware of the recent regional events that inspired the design challenge.IntroductionCommonly, first-year undergraduate curricula in design fields like engineering and communityand regional planning involve fundamental science and humanities courses; rarely are studentsprovided with real-world problem solving experiences. However, it is through such practice thattheoretical knowledge can be learned and understood in a professional context. This is especiallyimportant for diverse students who do not have much prior exposure to their fields of study. As aresult of traditional introductory curricula, such students are more likely to drop out of theprogram when they encounter decontextualized and difficult theoretical knowledge

With financial help, there would be a huge burden lifted and most of what a student would have to worry about is either studying for a test or how to apply for internships or jobs, instead of working external jobs or taking extra loans that will probably bite them in the ass in the future. Honestly, the financial help is a godsend.Similarly, another student offers: Another big part of Endeavour is the financial support that it gave

The data was collected through interviews and focus groups thatallowed us to understand how each group of participants understood the role of engineeringdesign education.

According to Ladson-Billings, the teachers who were able toeffectively teach students of color, upheld a sense of responsibility towards preparing students tobe academically successful [41]. She further explained that the embodiment of CRP “requiresthat teachers attend to students’ academic needs, not merely make them feel good.” [41, pp. 160].In her later work, Ladson-Billings [44] explained that academic achievement does not equate tostudent achievement on
