A list of primary research articles were compiled covering a range oftopics including environmental disasters (e.g., hurricanes Maria and Irma), hazardous spills (e.g.,East Palestine), and poor decision-making (e.g., Flint water crisis). Students working in groupswere asked to read different articles from the list, select one disaster, research the event further,and either give a PowerPoint presentation or write a report. A post-project survey and a reflectionpaper were administered at the end of the module. In both the engineering and

to transition into a new field [9]. Therefore,rather than switching undergraduate majors from chemistry to chemical engineering, a morenatural choice would be pursuing a graduate degree in engineering to maximize earning potentialand employment opportunities.According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers [10], a master’s degree canlead to a 20% increase in earnings compared to a bachelor’s degree. The national median salary,national projected growth rate, and state mean annual salary estimates for mechanical, electrical,biomedical, and computer engineering are given in Table 1 below. All engineering majors have aprojected growth rate higher than the national average of 3%, indicating a healthy demand fordegreed engineers

One group isdenoted as Returners, who are defined within this study as those students who have completedtheir undergraduate degrees five or more years before returning to obtain a master’s inengineering. They may have completed other training or another master’s but have waited thislength of time before enrolling in a graduate engineering program. Direct Pathway students arethose who have elected to enroll in graduate school for a master’s in engineering or who havecompleted a joint bachelor/master program concurrent to or less than five years from when theycompleted their undergraduate degree.Research QuestionsThe focus of the overarching

simple, superficial learning approach through anumber of techniques. For instance, using inductive teaching methods8, where students learnthrough somewhat large problems or projects, can stimulate a class. Also active learning8, suchas where students lead discussions regarding homework solutions, can motivate a deep approachto learning. Cooperative learning8 can be useful as well, where class projects, working togetheron homework, or collective discussions of topics and underlying principles. For the polymerengineering course there are opportunities for all of these approaches. Students must frequentlydiscuss their homework solutions as well as the underlying theory and physics related to theproblem. Collaboration also often occurs through these

Common file system principles overlap with those of OS and evenbroader computing systems3. Of the five major topics in OS courses (Processes, Scheduling,Memory management, Synchronization and I/O systems) all are present to some degree in filesystem implementation. Two popular undergraduate textbooks, Tanenbaum & Woodhull4 andSilberschatz, et al.5, each dedicate several chapters to file systems.

These interrelated challenges include the following: (1)Critical STEM competencies and professional licensing capability must be impartedin a traditional four year program of study. (2) Lecture based courses are moreefficient. (3) Many faculty perceive the analytical, math-intensive courses inengineering science to have higher prestige. (4) Individual learning assessment inexperiential, project-based courses is less objective and the supporting assessmentpedagogies for engineers are not well developed.

Our student groups are, by definition, temporary groups. Their time together isseldom more than a semester and usually much less. For these groups forming happens atthe first meeting and since they have a defined short term project, their direction is usuallyset quickly.
