In response, curricular reforms are underway at many institutions,including Michigan Technological University (MTU). 3-11To address some of these deficiencies, we are implementing a revised BSEE program at MTU.We require our students to take a course in creative problem solving during their first year. Inthis course, we set the stage for open-ended problem solving, high standards of professionalbehavior, and teamwork. Also, design, ethical concerns, and practice with communication skillshave been integrated into core courses required of all undergraduate EE majors. Finally, wehave set aside approximately 50% of the

According to Gorman, Richards,Scherer, and Kagiwada (1995), reflection is important particularly for first-year students orinexperienced designers. Reflection provides these students with the opportunity to contemplateproblem-solving strategies and problem representations and to develop new ways of reaching asolution that might be apparent to more experienced students. Students can reflect on the designprocess in diaries, journals, or notebooks.How faculty teach designEngineering faculty tend to use at least one of four approaches to teaching design: lecture, facultyas guide or coach, case

Engineering's “hidden curriculum” covers things like professional norms,confidence-building, and ethics, taught indirectly in early foundational courses, makingadaptation difficult for transfer students [5].Mentoring has been identified as a valuable strategy for decoding the hidden curriculum andsupporting students in navigating the implicit messages and norms present in educationalsettings [3], [4], [6].
