The results suggested that HEI should more aggressively seek ways to better engagefaculty with cooperative education to maximize the co-op student‟s learning experience.Curriculum-Co-op relationshipsAs a co-operative education faculty coordinator, I have come to understand that learning can beachieved in many ways. While there are definitely opportunities to learn in the classroom,learning comes, for many students, from hands-on experiences such as co-op. The co-opexperience can be extrapolated to the mechanical engineering curriculum to benefit all studentsin the program. This will ensure faculty engagement because faculty are passionate

However, like many interdisciplinary fields,engineering education has the difficulty to identify what constitutes ‘interdisciplinary’ work dueto lack of appropriate indicators to measure the degree of knowledge integration. It is thusworthwhile exploring current initiatives to lead the formation of interdisciplinary networks ofengineering education researchers and the changes of interdisciplinarity over time usingbibliometric indicators. To date, interdisciplinarity of engineering education research has beenconceptualized in various ways; for example, by reflecting the international

Current engineering education practiceplaces too much emphasis on detailed analysis. For students to learn to estimate, they have topractice by doing. Nine activities were suggested to help students in developing their estimationskill. Much more needs to be done in rectifying the current deficiency in student’s ability toestimate.Acknowledgements I am grateful for the encouragement I have received from Professors Rahim Khoie andCamilla Saviz in developing my ideas about estimation.

The large degree unitrequirement comes due to the large general education requirement of 39 units, which is the mostamong 125 programs.General Education (GE) The importance of General Education (GE) has increased in the last twenty years.
