framework was based upon theories in cognitive load, transfer, and instructionalresponsiveness. Through the exploratory case study design and pre- and post-interviews withcourse instructors, three main themes emerged: (1) cognitive challenges were often related to theabstraction and transfer of engineering concepts and skills; (2) comprehension was facilitated byfostering collaborative learning and autonomy; and (3) there were frequent timing issues withinstructional pacing and differential rates of task completion. Findings suggest that STEMintegration requires content mastery, pedagogical content knowledge, and attention towardstransfer, particularly in the teaching of engineering design to reduce cognitive load.

Finally, the research also provides insight into future curriculum strategies fordeveloping engineering education for sustainability.1 IntroductionEngineers have consistently been recognised for their ability to solve problems that addressbasic human needs. These abilities have framed the profession’s fundamental mission toimprove the quality of life and contribute to a sustainable future [1]. However, before the 21stcentury, engineering was considered “the art or science of making practical application of theknowledge of pure sciences” [2]. This definition raised the importance of technical andproblem-solving skills in the engineers’ profile [2], prompting a

-focused laboratory report writing.Introduction Engineers need to have strong communication skills to carry out their day-to-day workand to advance in their careers. Engineers spend almost two thirds of their overall work time onsome form of written or oral communication [1]. Of that, half the time is spent on writtencommunication – preparing proposals, reports, memos, feasibility studies, white papers,operating manuals, engineering specifications, business letters and responding to emails. Rhodes[2] summarizes it well in his paper that “Long after most professional engineers have ceased tointegrate a differential equation, they are still required to write technical reports”.

degree.Additionally, it helps students avoid waiting for a missed course to be re-offered in a latersemester. Forbes [1] has reported that the average bachelor's degree graduate in the United Stateshas roughly $38,000 in student loans upon graduation. Reports like this reveal yet another reasonthat proper academic advising is crucial. Well-executed advising helps students avoid wastingextra time and spending unnecessary money by ensuring they take only the required courses fortheir degree and avoiding extra ones. This also enables students to join the job market faster,thereby helping to reduce their debt burden further.

This pathway begins at the undergraduate levelwhere engineering students are expected to devote their time to theory and problem sets.Information retrieval leans heavily on textbooks. Emphasis on efficiency means students aretaught to find answers quickly, and potentially compromise the fit of a resource in order toquickly move forward to the next task [1]. A Listening First approach utilizes the basic tenets of user-centered research, or user-centered design. User-centered research is the process of gathering information about the users ofa product or service in order to inform the design and development of future products or services.Typically, this process includes interviews, surveys, usability testing
