and Future WorkThis study presented an alternative approach to understand students' perceptions of engineeringby using visual methods, arts-based data collection methodology. Our results provide anoverview of what students think engineering is at the beginning of their first semester in college.We were able to identify some aspects of their perceptions that we had not been able to identifybefore, after many years of asking them to verbally or through surveys express what engineeringis. Some of the aspects that we could identify that were new included the perception thatengineering is a collaborative discipline that requires interaction among people, and that forsome of them, engineering should care about holistic issues and how the discipline

senior management engagement within a business is one ofthe main drivers of industry-academia collaboration in curriculum design26,27, suggesting thatindustry itself is most poised to affect the changes it requires. Personnel in engineering andengineering technology recognizing differences in their approaches, however slight,collaborating with industry to appropriately modify their curricula, and developing andmaintaining relationships to continue this collaboration would likely result in similar outcomeswithin their respective fields as those seen in computing.Before that can be done, though, a more complete understanding of what students in these fieldsneed and how those needs should be addressed is required.

Any effort to alter this current practice requires a shift in the instructionalcontent and instructor motivation in K-12 education.

resulted in curriculum compression – sometimes to extreme levels.Faced with pressure to add material, reduce time, and satisfy the demands of the (sometimesarchaic) industry hiring practices, academe too often resorted to a balkanization approach incurriculum development.One possible solution to our overall dilemma is to make the entry level requirement forprofessional practice a 5- or 6-year program. This is at best only a partial solution to theproblem. While science and mathematics provide the engineer much of the basic tool andknowledge suite needed for practice, it is design, and more recently its abstraction into systemsengineering, that is the essence of our profession. In educating engineers for our future, we needto think in terms of a

The ability to operate outside the narrow limits of onediscipline and be ethically grounded in solving the complex problems of the future will also beneeded. To address the competencies of the future engineer, undergraduate education must trainstudents to not only solve engineering challenges that transcend disciplinary boundaries, but alsocommunicate, transfer knowledge, and collaborate across technical and non-technical boundaries.One approach to train engineers in these competencies is teaching biomimicry or bio-inspireddesign in an engineering curriculum, which offers

The attractiveness of this approach with regards tomaterials engineering has been noted in a report from the National Science Foundation,9 whichconcludes that "the attractiveness of chemistry and physics…could be enhanced by greateremphasis on materials-related topics which would help students better relate their studies to the'real world'."With this in mind, we have developed a new course, titled Materials Chemistry. The goal of thiscourse is to provide engineering applications of basic chemistry concepts at the freshman level.This paper describes the role of this course within the engineering curriculum at the Universityof Florida
