. Page 26.127.4BadgingBadging, or microcredentialing, is a process by which students can be evaluated on skills and knowledgeat a more granular level than a whole course. In our current educational model, when an employerreviews the transcript of a student who received a B in a class, that employer cannot distinguish whetherthat student did everything in the course pretty well, or is particularly good at some skills yet unable tocomplete other tasks12. The concept with badges, and why there is increasing interest in the potential usein education, is the ability to measure particular skills that are encompassed in a class.Moreover, badging also works to incentivize students. In Kapp’s The Gamification of Learning andInstruction[14], the argument

given by professors in the humanities. As the newFYS director in 2012, the second author inherited the challenge of a program staffed primarily bythe faculty in the college of the arts and sciences. In 2011-12 there were 74 sections of the then-equivalent of FYS 112;b only three of those sections were taught by faculty from the professionalschools (one from the college of engineering and two from the college of education and healthsciences). The second author was concerned that students perceived this lack of participation inFYS by the faculty of the professional schools as a lack of endorsement for the value of liberaleducation.c She wanted the lecture to emphasize the significance of FYS as a foundation for allareas of study at the University

Europe. Of special interest tothis text was the idea of interdisciplinary institutions that would function around a particularconcept. For example an institute was established for the sociology and politics of work. Itspurpose was to establish a theory of work1. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation andDevelopment (OECD) schematized this approach as follows:1. “A single complex problem.2. Disciplines noteworthy for their viewpoints (a) The variety of their viewpoints. (b) The possibility that the fields overlap.

From this perspective, thesocial good of an international bridge expansion, or a new line of cars, or the delivery of drinkingwater to a large metropolitan area cannot be assessed, and certainly cannot be celebrated as amodern social feat, without taking into account the following: a) whose interests are served fromthe improved vehicle access to the customs plaza, or the determination of insufficient evidence toconduct an investigation into driver complaints, or the invalidation of high lead-in-watermeasurements, b) what the self-defined needs are of individuals who are excluded from thedecision-making table but are suffering from asthma, or experiencing their car engine shut downin the

characteristics of engineering literacy from existing literature, we constructed theEngineering Literacy survey (see Survey Design section and Appendix A) to provide aninstrument to determine student perceptions of their knowledge, skills, and valuing ofengineering. The survey was designed to address several questions: (a) What are students’ levelsof engineering literacy, in general? (b) Do students from science backgrounds differ from Page 26.1304.3students with liberal arts backgrounds with respect to engineering literacy? (c) Do male andfemale students differ on their engineering literacy perceptions? (d) Do more advanced students(e.g., juniors and
