For these students, practice effects may impact their performance [23].We look forward to discussing this program’s design, evaluation methods, preliminary findings,and study limitations with colleagues at the 2021 Annual Meeting.

not encourage creativity or innovation[1]. Innovation can bedefined as a new and valued product, process, or concept that has been introduced to the marketor society[2]. Engineering educators should better prepare students for careers in innovation. Indoing this, they must “undermine their students’ blind commitment to the engineering paradigm”[3] which is centered around the scientific approach to knowledge making. To accomplish thischallenge, the exploration of paradigms such as ones used in the schools of business,communications, and political science is suggested. Incorporating this exploration will allow theengineering and technology student to critically reflect on and debate the beliefs, practices, andvalues of their paradigms and

Only the sustainability ALM regarding Life Cycle CostAnalysis was covered for both semesters. For the spring semester, the in-class activity consistedof an example problem where students used given information on multiple design alternatives,and asked to compute the life cycle cost analysis for each alternative. Upon completion of the in-class activity, students engaged in an instructor-led group discussion on the results of theactivity. For assessment methods, only the in-class activity work was collected.CE 320 is only

This paper presents our current progress on theCCLI project. To study the impact of the CPBL model in freshman/sophomore level courses, aseries of interactive in-class projects was developed that: 1) stimulate students’ learning andmake them more engaged in the classroom; 2) tie the theory taught in class to real-world designexperience; and 3) provide a clearer insight into possible engineering careers.

Though many students fare through this type of education,a lack of connection between students' lived realities –culturally and linguistically– excludesyouth from engaging in engineering and science [6] and [7].
