In each case where engineering was added to a lesson or unit, it sprang to life,allowing for more critical engagement and inquiry as well as the influx of new content—andactivities to explore that content. Engineering made Montessori even more hands-on, moreinteractive, more dynamic and engaging to students. Work with the design process allowed fora more interdisciplinary approach—any number of connections could be made

Insight: First practice class, few of the participants asked questions ofthe instructor, even though the class was very discipline specific (different from their own area ofexpertise). Second practice class, there was very engaging instruction with numerous questionsfrom the “students” – the ideal experience when students learn that asking questions is

course summaries arean important communication tool to assist faculty in their development.Faculty ImpactThe typical assessment methods, such as quizzes and tests, more commonly measure lower levelcognitive activities; consequently, a common pitfall to implementing a structured assessmentsystem is the reduction of the curriculum to the “lowest common denominator” in the level ofstudent learning. Perhaps the most dramatic change with our ABET approach is to counteractthis effect. There has been demonstration of the simultaneous engagement of faculty to directstudent learning towards higher cognitive processes and metacognition. For example, in hiscourse summary, one instructor wrote: “Assessment strategies for 2006 continue to refine the

AsDavis points out1 there is a need to relate analysis skills to the real world. Other authorshave done this by incorporating design into the circuits lab2, 3, 4 or by integratingcomputer tools into the lab5, 6. An additional strategy is to challenge the students with acircuit identification task, one where they have to design test procedures and from theresults synthesize the unknown circuit. Most lab experiences consist of opportunities tobuild circuits from homework problems

As a result, teaching introductory programming concepts to youngfuture engineers can be a challenging task.One common tool to aid in teaching beginning programming theory is to program an automatedassessment.

The criteria writers concentrated onwhat it was that all engineers should be able to do which resulted in eleven desirable outcomes,no matter what the discipline. The criteria can be divided into two categories: “hard skills” and“soft skills” or what is becoming increasingly better known as “professional skills”. Six of theeleven outcomes address the professional skills including:10• an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams• an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility• an ability to communicate effectively• the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental and

A variety of assessment processes were used to evalua te theeffectiveness of the course. Among the findings, the final data show that without follow-on PBLexperiences in the remaining academic program, the problem solving skills initiated in thefreshman course are of little value to the students.

In contrast to orienting computer science education aroundthe needs of industry and security, which are often framed around assimilationist language ofdiversity and inclusion, Vakil elaborates upon a vision for computer science education thatcenters the critique of power; engages macro-ethical issues (instead of just micro-ethical ones[13]); and tends to politics of
