In this paper, we describe an ongoing effort at Kettering Universityfocused on dealing with the stated challenges. This effort is supported by NSF grant DUE-9851147 and several interested industrial partners. It is stipulated that teaching design can beelevated to a new level of effectiveness by utilizing the technologies described and thecurriculum changes proposed herein. Page 5.670.2II.

Thepurpose of this embedded mixed-methods study was to document student perceptions of learningwhile on co-op and provide student-centered language for these learning experiences.IntroductionThere is a high demand for well-trained engineers that can create innovative solutions tocomplex world problems [5]–[9]. To solve the National Academy of Engineers GrandChallenges [6] or other engineering problems of today, we need the current and next generationof engineers to quickly transition into their full-time roles, work efficiently and respectfully withothers on a multidisciplinary team, be comfortable with large-scale, open-ended problems, andhave a strong understanding of fundamental material that they can map to new problems in

another.7So how do we as engineering and technology educators, practically provide our students with aneducation that includes the approach fostered by a liberal education in addition to technicalcontent? How do we provide technical content and perspective for students pursuing a liberaleducation? Although there may be a myriad of approaches to the problem, an obvious tactic thatwould reach all students is to focus on the core curriculum (courses required of all students) andalso on courses required in the technical major. By focusing on these two elements of thecurriculum we have the potential to provide learning opportunities that can impact and broadenperspectives of both technical and non-technical students.Within curricula of the College of
