could find solutions to increasingly complex societalproblems [12]. Dym et al. [12] explain that a report in 1997 by the National Science Foundationoutlined the need for engineering curricula to place more emphasis on teamwork, project-basedlearning, and industry connections, which influence retention, student learning, and diversity.Although these changes had a positive effect on students, a disconnect still lingered in the area ofdiversity. Active learning, a form of interactive teaching, emerged as a method to center students inthe learning process, have them engage in activities to foster critical thinking, develop activeparticipation through hands-on activities, mentor students in the learning process, and utilizeteaching tools to

As such, there is a need todiscuss the current state of quantitative methods used in engineering education, and how topromote the broader use of appropriate advanced quantitative methods (Chou & Chang, 2010;Godwin et al., 2021; Malmi et al., 2018). Given the rapid development and evolution of engineering education, it is essential torecognize, review, and critique the collaborative efforts made by quantitative researchers inrecent years with a systematic literature review.

This leads to a wide variety of project topics, which thus has different effectson the lessons learned and experience gained by our students. However, all projects have incommon that the team orientation promotes the development of certain generic skills stronglyrequired by industry, like the ability to

There was a strong push from upper division courses and industry to developbetter computational skills [14]. In most institutions, education in computer programming isrelegated to a single course in the curriculum. In some, that course has become a casualty ofreducing the number of credits required to earn a degree.There were two primary motivations for incorporating computing projects in the courses. First,to do so is a step toward computing across the curriculum. To develop computationalcompetency in students, they must view computing

[5] is distinct from a common – but harmful– public understanding of technologies as disembodied machines, mere tools or neutralinstruments. As Erik Schatzberg [6] and David Nye [7] have shown, this popular conception oftechnology is relatively new, having accompanied the modern era of industrial production. Whatmost people have considered technology over the last century had been understood as craftworkand mechanical arts for centuries previous. This distinction is not merely semantic. Craftworkand arts were processes, ways of doing things, and activities. They were dynamic and labor-based, rather than static and product-oriented. The twentieth-century movement toward thinkingof technology as objective and asocial propagated the inaccurate
