For example, thecoursework enables each colleges’ disciplinary expertise to converge through establishing a“mission” for carrying ideas beyond the classroom and supporting them financially (business),understanding the “meaning” behind the problems people face and how solutions can bedesigned to fit their needs (liberal arts), and bringing ideas to life through the “making” andimplementation of designs (engineering/technology).

teaching CSECcurriculum, is balancing the need for learners to have not only the knowledge, but also the skillsand abilities [13]. To address this problem, we can turn to competency-based education (CBE)[8], [13]. CBE is not a new pedagogical concept. It has a relatively long history in K-12education and higher education [14], [15]. According to Geravis, 2016, CBE can trace its originsin US education back to the Morill Land-Acts of 1862 and the notion of applied education.CBE focuses on having students demonstrate the mastery and application of knowledge andskills beyond the confines of the classroom (i.e., in the real world). CBE is also known asoutcomes or problem-based learning [16]. The goal of CBE is to better balance the expectationsand

Similar to othercourses across the nation, students write a teaching philosophy, design a syllabus andlearning plans, and complete a micro-teaching experience. While the
; many students wereeager to take part in the discussion of figures and figure principles, and seemed to relish theopportunity to develop and express an opinion about figure design.A particular highlight of the class discussion was when the facilitator presented a single dataseries expressed through several different figures. The student participants were eager to discussthe differences between two of the figures, and discuss which one they felt told a better storywith data. Through this discussion, students seemed to have little trouble understanding andaccepting that a figure could not be evaluated on an absolute scale, beyond a certain threshold ofclarity and function. They engaged readily with the idea that changes in a figure’s design
