Engineering Strategic Plan of 2007 included as one of its strategic goals tomodernize the first year experience. Specifically, this goal was stated as, “All students in theSchool of Engineering will have a first-year Technology course that provides a small-class,hands-on, query-based learning experience that ties technology to society and engages studentsin engineering problem-solving.”Curriculum modernizationWhile ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc.,) specifically requiresthat engineers “meet a general education component that complements the technical content ofthe curriculum and is consistent with the program and institution objectives,” ABET alsosuggests a particular responsibility for engineers to study the social

It taught us teamwork... Unfortunately our cycle failed somewhat but that's part of the process as well We learned a lot about brainstorming, but did not really get a chance to prototype and learn from our mistakes through repetition. I had so much fun and learned so much from foam core. Going into this process I knew that it was essential to plan out our build time, and even with all the planning we did, we still basically ran out of time, which was definitely

The interviewees were selectedrandomly by the participating colleges and universities. Approximately half of those interviewedhad switched majors out of science-math-engineering (SME) programs by their senior years. Theother half of those interviewed were still SME majors as seniors and planned to graduate with adegree in natural science, mathematics or engineering. They found that the greatest contributionto the loss of students in Science, Math and Engineering fields was due to problems associatedwith the structure of the educational experience and the culture of the disciplines.

Again, attempting to teach workplace disciplines, an employee will rarely be expected toattend a design or construction meeting without first reviewing client preferences, plans,specifications, etc. relating to the project.In class, discussions focus more on the students’ experience with and feeling toward the topicthan on memorization of terms and definitions. Students are strongly encouraged to voice theiropinions on the topic. Students are further encouraged to disagree with each other, the text, andthe professor, as long as they do so respectfully.

responding withinthe semi-structured research interview was demanding for the novice interviewer. As a reflectivepractice, we compared the intended goals of the planned interview questions prescribed in theprotocol versus the content of the actual questions asked during the interview, finding that for themost part, the interviewer’s questions did align. However, in examining the underlying function,the IQRT illuminated a few instances where the interviewer introduced, sometimesunexpectedly, questions that detracted from the participant’s flow of thinking. For example, indiscussing the tenure expectations, the participant mentioned teaching, service, and raisingmoney—a ‘pillar’ of tenure that he repeatedly framed as ‘leverage’ for ‘threatening to

al. [37] positedthat teacher beliefs influence teachers’ willingness to adopt new pedagogies and teachingstrategies (e.g., active learning, team-based learning, and discussions). Yasar and colleagues [37]argue that understanding teachers’ views about engineering and engineering practices isnecessary to integrate technology and design into pre-college education effectively. Engineeringdesign challenges are student-centered and require students to actively utilize an iterative processto prepare, plan, and evaluate their solutions at each stage of their design. However, howengineering is implemented in the classroom depends on teachers’ views of how students learn[31]. Hence, for students to understand and engage in the EDP effectively

programs were required to demonstrate they met. The key difference with the prior detailedaccreditation process was to increase flexibility – programs had considerable latitude in defining how theymet the eight criteria and how they planned to improve upon their self-imposed metrics. Subsequentevaluation in the years immediately following the roll-out of EC-2000 indicated that changingaccreditation processes had in fact enacted changes in how degree programs operated and what they did,even down to the level of the classroom [2], [11].Broadly speaking, engineering programs are evaluated on eight separate criteria. Some criteria are relatedto the effectiveness of processes, some to having access to sufficient resources, and others to defining
