graduates to be inadequately prepared in these areas [9]. Efforts toremedy this deficiency have identified a number of approaches for integrating contextualcompetence into the curriculum. For example, students‟ immersion in a real-world communitycontext is a key component of Purdue‟s NAE-recognized Engineering Projects in CommunityService (EPICS) [10], which involves students in long-term, real-world design projects. Similarly,evidence indicates that Smith College‟s TOYtech project [11], in which students are tasked withdesigning toys that introduce children to the principles of technology, helps develop students‟recognition of the importance of working well in teams and considering the societal impact ofengineering practice.The framework for

Texas at Arlington (UTA) embarked on a study to identify where theirengineering students were struggling over three years ago in an effort to address student success,persistence, and retention. In this study, the committee identified that students were ill-equippedin engineering problem solving methodology and basic engineering computer programming. Toaddress these concerns, a new course named Engineering Problem Solving was created utilizingthe Student Centered Active Learning Environment with Upside-down Pedagogies (SCALE-Up)method. This class has aided in improving student retention and persistence in engineering.However, to further enhance this effect, Supplemental Instruction (SI) was added to the existingjust-in-time tutoring model

. Then the paper presents a broader impact of thecourse: two transferable modules (one on correspondence and one on report writing). Finally, thepaper concludes with thoughts about a formal assessment of this new approach. If found to besuccessful, this new approach would present an alternative paradigm for teaching writing in largeengineering colleges.Background: Although the course goals and structure are similar with traditional coursesin technical writing, the connection with the design course deepens the content Like many traditional technical writing courses, our pilot course (Effective EngineeringWriting) consists of goals specific to engineering writing. These goals include targeting theaudience, learning strategies for types of

Of the 37 interviews, 31 discussedchallenges (or lack there of) and were able to be transcribed; this sub-set is the focus of thepaper. Analysis of the data indicated that barriers to effective instruction fell under fivebroad themes: students, faculty, institutional, curriculum, and engineering skills. Of theinterviewees, 23% encountered only challenges, 64% described both challenges andaffordances, and 13% described not encountering any challenges. Despite the obstacles, theinterviewees expressed the importance of integrating ESI into engineering education andproduced examples of teaching these topics in a range of settings with a variety ofpedagogical approaches.

Similarly, a blindfold could potentiallyfocus a student’s attention on features of the part that would be typically overlooked if seen.ConclusionsThis study supports two conclusions within the limitations of the case: 1. It is possible for a blind person to learn and use the conventions of engineering graphics as applied to orthographic and isometric views. This ability includes both generation and interpretation of these graphics. It should be noted that the student continued to progress throughout the entire course and that her graphic ability at the end was limited only by the length of time in the course; the curriculum did not exceed

commitment,including individuals’ willingness to coordinate efforts across the degree program and teach ESIin their own courses. Given shrinking credit hours for engineering degrees and an increasingnumber of topics, it can be challenging to find space in the curriculum for standalone ethicscourses [9]. These courses can be offered outside of the engineering department as part of thegeneral education or liberal arts requirement, but this approach can be met with a lack of studentengagement if the topics appear disconnected from their engineering preparation [10].Given these considerations, micro-insertions of ESI have been promoted as an effective approach[11]. Micro-insertion is the integration of ethics in technical courses “without substantial
