roadmaps integrating PCOs and RRCCurricular Priorities into our curriculum [5]. To ensure successful integration, we initiated a pilot implementation on a smaller scale,allowing us to assess the effectiveness of these interventions and refine our approach accordingly. Table 1 lists the courses picked forthe pilot implementation, with their corresponding outcomes/skills/priorities.In most cases, the placement of modules was deliberate and strategic. For example, the combined ‘Mentorship’ module in ECEGR1200 and ECEGR 3110, both fall-quarter courses, was designed to strengthen interclass connections between first-year and third-yearstudents. This experience highlighted the value of being both a mentor and a mentee, both being desired skills in

Many courses require PSpicesimulation verification of calculated and experimental results to be included in the laboratoryreport. The students analyze and explain any variations among the manual calculations,experimental measurements, and simulated results.Freshman YearPurdue's Electrical Engineering Technology students are introduced to PSpice simulation in thesecond semester of their freshman year.

the certificates will use a “1 + 2” lecture/studio format, where students have two hours of hands-on laboratory learning for every one hour of lecture, maximizing students’ experience by integrating theoretical and practical aspects of the subjects. The certificate programs integrate industry competencies from advanced technical fields, aligned mostly with project-based and problem-based teaching approaches. The curricula are designed to allow non- degree seeking students to take individual courses, as micro-credentials in the respective subjects; they can be accrued towards the certificate completion. Also students may take certificate courses as technical electives if they are approved by the respective programs. 3.1

Based on the data collected as part of the NewStudent survey, about half of the engineering freshmen join our engineering program with priorprogramming experinces8. EngE1024 instructors, however, do not take into account priorprogramming experiences of ~50% freshmen while designing programming instruction modules.Therefore, engaging ~50% freshmen with prior programming experience into programminginstruction present a major challenge for EngE1024 instructors. Students, particularly those withprior programming experience, did not enjoy the programming environment Alice offers forlearning basic concepts of

Problems that arise from this educational structure include: (1) lack ofmotivation for learning fundamental material, (2) poor retention of sophomore- andjunior-level material that is needed for the senior-year integrated experiences, (3)segmented learning resulting in a lack of ability to integrate material presented in severaldifferent courses, and (4) lack of ability to extrapolate knowledge and skills gained in onecontext (e.g., thermodynamics) to a different context (e.g., thermodynamic limitations inreactor design). All too often, important material is presented once and assumed to be“learned”. Moreover, the traditional lecture format has not

Shown above in Figure 1 is the schematic of the two-phase wind tunnel outlet and fansection in both SolidWorks rendering and in the laboratory installed atop the water tunnel. The unique shape of the wind tunnel posed a significant challenge in determining theappropriate design and testing parameters. Test-section design parameters and principles wereadopted from a report written by Samardzic [12], that helped validating the specific groundworkfor the wind tunnel construction.
