Also, some ofthese “advanced” topics are not taught as part of the core undergraduate curriculum, noreven as part of special electives. The issue is then how to provide exposure to theseemerging technologies to engineering students without introducing new courses. Wehave been attempting to solve this problem through our interdisciplinary capstone designcourse with the help of faculty working in these emerging

Stolk’s research aims to understand how students experience different classroom settings, particularly with regard to how individuals express situ- ational motivations and develop their own beliefs about learning.

This approach has been documented in several publications [17][18] [19].While this approach provided to be highly successful at first, problems began to develop as thecourse was taught multiple times. There were timing issues with the course, as the BE studentshad already made many of their fundamental design decisions prior to determining therequirements, which made an appropriate elicitation process impossible.

Within threeyears, approximately 22 percent of students graduate, and within four years, the rate stands at 28percent. Thus, developing and implementing successful practices for increasing graduation andtransfer rates have been and continue to be problematic for academic leaders concerned withpromoting the pathway to the baccalaureate degree for 2-year college STEM students.Research conducted by Olson et al3 indicates that student persistence towards a STEM degree isassociated primarily with intellectual engagement and achievement.
