Bucciarelli21 highlights this issue: “The way we structure our curriculum andteach our subjects all conspire to instill in the student the idea that engineering work is value-free. Object-world work may be, but that is but one part of engineering competence. Whileteaching the “fundamentals” of science and mathematics, and the engineering sciences, remainsnecessary, we must do so in more authentic contexts, showing the uncertainty and ambiguityinherent in problem setting as well as solution, and how social and political interests contributein important ways to the forms of technologies we produce.

Theglobal theme was found to be particularly strong within U.S. programs: the ability to workeffectively across cultures in an international sphere was seen by many as an increasingly vitalattribute of an engineer-leader, and is reflected in many of the programs.

Retention rates amongcollege students are frequently employed as a metric for gauging institutional accountability andsuccess. Moreover, these rates are increasingly utilized as a basis for allocating resources.Gaining insights into the factors that influence college student retention has become imperativefor institutions of higher education. The ongoing issue of low graduation rates among students inengineering programs remains a significant cause for concern within the higher educationlandscape.

Whendesigning our curriculum, we are concerned with what an exceptionally competent engineerought to know about a range of disciplines and methods.

AbstractService-learning is a pedagogy which strives to integrate student learning with communityservice. In an engineering context, service-learning provides a project-based experience in whichstudents are confronted with real clients and problems, often of immediate need. In the context ofcourse development, however, many engineering faculty seem to feel that service learning isinfeasible in technical and/or large engineering courses, and that the overhead and opportunitycosts associated with service learning exceed the benefits received by students.This paper contemplates two years of service

These include structured discussions, grouptasks, and nurturing a collaborative environment beneficial to learning. Incorporating activelearning into discussions, assignments, and assessments can support effective student engagementin online or blended courses.Active learning can be defined as the process of "seeking new information, organizing it in a waythat is meaningful, and having the chance to explain to others" [4].
