Block scheduling, in its simplestform, is transforming multi-semester courses into a single-semester course via extended, con-centrated contact time. These courses have considerably longer contact hours than a traditionaluniversity course so that: (1) students may gain systems insight through integration of theircore knowledge across traditional course and discipline boundaries; (2) the instructors have thetime to include truly multi-scale (from molecular to continuum to macroscopic) descriptionsof chemical engineering content; and (3) the instructors have the flexibility to accommodatediverse learning styles and incorporate active learning more

Perception and Learning OutcomesIntroductionCourses in a large majority of science and engineering curricula are often complemented bylaboratories which provide a learning environment different from a traditional lecture. Theselaboratories promote student engagement through problem-based learning, resulting in increasedstudent performance, increased student confidence in the subject material [1], and greaterenjoyment of the subject material by the students [2]. The lecture courses which theselaboratories supplement are often substantially different in size, with one lecture linked tomultiple smaller laboratory sections.

For example, the benefits of learning through teaching are well known [17-18]and instructors develop a much richer and deeper understanding of the material they teachthrough their curriculum design process [1-3, 5, 9-10, 19]. Therefore, the authors believe it isworthwhile to provide students opportunities to develop their own learning activities or aids tofoster student growth in understanding of previously learned content.

In many schools, colleges and universities the availability ofpractical, hands-on interaction with computer numerical controlled machines (CNC machines) islimited due to the expense and operational complexity of these machines. Many of the higher endCNC machines are reserved for expert machinists. As a result, students do not experience mod-ern manufacturing beyond the “black-box” interactions with a machinist.

Similar to the writing acrossthe curriculum movement of years past, EAC proponents integrate the study of ethics intocourses in the major, rather than farming it out to a philosophy department.

Additional Motivations and Attitudes in Engineering items focus on assessing student perceptions of their metacognition (a proxy for problem solving) and goal orientations.
