The Introduction to Engineeringcourse is a prime venue and opportunity to help cultivate many of these skills forstudents.Two main resources were used in helping students develop these skills. One of theseresources is the textbook for the course “Studying Engineering: A Road Map to aRewarding Career” by Dr. Raymond B. Landis37. This book covers many of the topicslisted above in the context of beginning and pursuing engineering study.

The course lecture resources should be flexible for use by a variety of instructors (novice and experienced) in a variety of delivery formats (e.g., flipped, online, blended). In particular, although the initial implementation and testing of the curriculum was in a “traditional” flipped format, future implementations were planned in which students from two or more different courses would be simultaneously performing student-centered activities under the guidance of a single instructor.
