This leads us to wonder what the impact is upon women students’ interest inan engineering career from taking a course such as ours, compared to the impact upon women’sstudents’ interest in an engineering career where the outcomes of the design process are moretangible.A second line of research may also be suggested by our course. It has been shown thatengineering students have difficulty connecting the dots between what they learn about ethicaltheory in their classes and engineering design problems (for example, see Michelfelder andJones, 2016). There is some debate within the engineering community as to whether or not ethicsis best presented through case studies or as ethical theory. Does emphasizing the process ofthinking like an

affects student learning andoutcomes [4]. Traditional grading schemes, such as a points-based scheme and grading on acurve, act as a competitive goal structure in which students are expected to outperform their peers.This structure generally does not promote grades as a metric for individual mastery orcompetence in the course’s learning objectives. Course grading and goal structures often promotemastery-oriented learning, in which students seek to improve their competence and seekchallenges, or performance-oriented learning, in which students seek favorable scores of theircompetence [5]. Both goal orientations are important but have advantages and disadvantages.Goal structures have been studied in engineering courses. For example, researchers at

The course has been taught five times by aprevious instructor with the objective of introducing advanced engineering mathematics.The project was included to address a concern that students were not prepared forcomputing in later courses.The content of formal lectures was a mix of advanced applied math and practical lectures.Some unique lectures were delivered on topics such as the role of computing in thedesign process. A second lecture was delivered on how computing can be partnered withexperiments and theory in the research process. Several cases were shown wherecomputation either was, or was not, a good tool to move a research or design programforward. There were also short lectures on good programming habits

, ASCE made a motion that the EAC take action to clarify the issue of outcomes attainment, but this motion was defeated [21].• Lower bound on technical curriculum content – During this same period, ASCE identified a concern about the definition of “one year of study,” as it was specified in the EAC Criteria at that time. The wording of the definition (“one year is the lesser of 32 semester hours…or one-fourth of the total credits required for graduation.”) was problematic, because it placed no definitive lower bound on a program’s math, basic science, and engineering content [21]. It also unfairly penalized programs that require relatively more total credit hours for graduation. In April 2010, ASCE sent a letter to ABET

IntroductionA downward trend in enrollment in graduate and undergraduate electrical power engineeringprograms has been observed over the last decade or two 1-2. The causes have been attributedto shifting interests among the student population and stalling electrical load-growthdynamics, among others. Efforts to remedy the decline in interest have resulted in the wideruse of computer simulation tools.

The majority of students understand the statistical application better if they conductstatistical experiments rather than just solving theoretical problems from textbooks. Since

When transfer oflearning happens, students can effectively apply new learning to the solution of problems unlikethose experienced in the classroom environment. As a National Research Council report notes,“A major goal of schooling is to prepare students for flexible adaptation to new problems andsettings.” [1] This is particularly true for engineering graduates, who will likely encounter manyreal-world situations that are vastly different from the types of problems they learned to solve asstudents. Thus transfer of learning should be a explicit objective of engineering education and anintegral component of instructional design.All too often, however, it is not. Engineering educators generally
