Finally,the number of students requesting a major change between engineering disciplines has fallen.With all these benefits for the freshmen class, the College also decided to use the remotecampuses to increase enrollment in key four-year degree programs.The Multidisciplinary Engineering Technology (MXET) program is one of the newer programsat Texas A&M University [1].

Engineering students at Duke University take theirfirst engineering design class [18], as well as other project-based courses, in a 3,000-ft2makerspace (Figure 1). Students have access to low-fidelity prototypes such as pool noodles,straws, and duct tape, as well as medium/high fidelity tools such as 3D printers, woodworkingtools, microcontrollers, and laser cutters.The incredible resources in Duke’s makerspaces enable nearly limitless prototypes, but this doesnot always produce the best designs.

In holding with the teaching styles of other courses in the E-Lead program, theSIs are encouraged to not rely solely on lectures as their method of content delivery but toexplore other active learning techniques. As a result, the curriculum is continually evolving toaddress the perceived needs of incoming students while maintaining a few key elements.Course Instruction – Before each class period, the teaching team is required to develop a lessonplan.

These educationalopportunities can be classified into several categories: engineering management, systemsengineering, engineering entrepreneurship, and leadership, internship, and other multi-disciplinary programs. Most of these programs are designed to introduce engineers to thebusiness world through courses, project teams, and interaction with business enterprises andbusiness leaders. Most schools also offer minors or individual courses designed to introducestudents of all majors to technology and its impact on business.

To illustrate this point, we may observe trends during the COVID19pandemic, where educators had to resort to Zoom for classes and even engineering labs.

We sought to support diverse students to begin developing professionalengineering identity in a first year 1-credit course.Despite many efforts to diversify engineering, first-generation college attendees, non-traditionalstudents, and students from groups typically underrepresented in engineering are still less likelyto persist. Such students are less likely to have family members who can serve as a source

conventional mechanical engineering curriculum.What is more surprising is the relative dearth of credits dedicated to Dynamic Systems andControls (3.6 credits), historically a major component of many degree programs. However, someof this education might have moved into experimentation or electronics courses (in the form ofmechatronics). As discussed below, this overlap of concepts between courses makes it difficultto make definitive conclusions from the data in Table 2, but the sparsity of the matrix may stillbe instructive. For instance, while Georgia Tech has at least one dedicated class in each subjectarea, Stanford has four subject areas without an associated course. This may indicate that theStanford program’s heavy emphasis on design courses

Third, students can clearly see what the instructor’s expectations are, as now only theexpected performance standards are presented to the class. Fourth, the eye of the typical readerof an analytic rubric is naturally drawn to the left-most column, which can either be daunting (ifit presents above-standard performance information) or provides a false sense of security (if itpresents below-standard performance information).

it has also been the case. The MechanicalEngineering Technology program first began class offerings during fall 2013. That changed alittle bit the % of retention since the demand for that particular program has been higher than forthe other two. Nonetheless, dropping rates still continue beyond year 2 and we can see thatalthough it is earlier for cohorts for years 2019 and 2020 to obtain data, we can estimateenrollment will drop in a similar manner as cohorts for year 2017 or 2018.
