This course proved to be verysuccessful in attracting all students (male and female) in both engineering and non-engineeringmajors.IntroductionIn recent years, there has been a growing interest in bridging the gap between science and art.Several organizations have emerged with the aim of promoting the integration of art and science,including Art & Science Collaborations, Inc. (ASCI), International Society of the Arts,Mathematics, and Architecture (ISAMA), and International Society for the Arts, Sciences, andTechnology (ISAST).

Best Practices: Spring 2017After four years of implementing vertical integration activities, a few best practices emerge: • Align projects; Project scopes and components must overlap such that upper- and lower-division students understand the usefulness of their own expertise and the usefulness of the expertise of the students in the other course. • Reward utilization: Students, especially lower division students, need incentives to provide information to, and utilize information from, another

On the other hand, there is the tendency to have more project sponsorsfrom outside the academic environment. Both tendencies have been created with the intention ofpresent real life situations to the students, and there have been growing pains, but such practicesare gaining acceptance6.The EDT program.

This approach emphasizesthat students need to: (1) have the requisite knowledge or information to start writing; (2) askthemselves some leading questions such as, what is the main idea that I need to communicate?(3) write down the points they want to cover; (4) order the information in a logical manner; (5)link sentences and paragraphs using tools such as transition words.

These responses provided insight into student learning styles. Two themes emergedfrom the student responses. One theme was that “real world examples,” “more hands on stuff,”and “more practical stuff” would enhance their learning. The second emerging theme was thatthe students thought more examples, as indicated by responses such as: ". . . more examples . ..," and ". . . do more problems/examples," would help learning.
