Asseen in Conger et al., students were excited to begin their engineering programs at the university,but there was a disconnect from what they learned in their courses to their professional practiceafter graduation.26 MDP is but one piece of the university’s commitment to prepare engineersfor the 21st century and beyond. Recognizing the need for cooperation and collaboration amongdifferent disciplines in the design process, a common experience for all engineers, MDP, wascreated to allow students and teams

Videos, articles, blog posts, and open educational resources (OER) areavailable on many platforms and with varying levels of both production value and (notnecessarily connected) accuracy. Particularly in the fast-changing technical core, how do weassure the credibility and accuracy of content? When faculty are using content as part of theircourses, it is reasonable to place the onus on the instructor. When students are doing independentstudy, are we helping them develop their own capacity for ensuring credibility of their sources?How do we help students build their own

Science and engineering fields report thelowest retention rates among all academic disciplines. Approximately 50% of students enteringhigher education in the sciences or engineering change majors in the first two years. Moreover,women and underrepresented minorities leave science and engineering programs at a higher ratethan men and non-minority students.6 For the 2002-2003 academic year at UT’s College ofEngineering, first year retention of women (69.4%) and minorities (69.4%) was lower thanretention of all engineering students (74.3%).

While the results of these tests may not behigh stakes in terms of sanctions on a school, district or individual teacher, they certainly havehigh stakes for the students as their scores determine whether or not they will graduate from highschool. As a result, there is an ongoing tension between STEM-related reforms, often initiated byfederal agencies and universities, and test preparation practices K-12 educators perceive willresult in higher scores on standardized tests. To further complicate matters, standardized testsconsist of largely multiple choice questions and are therefore not necessarily reliable indicatorsof students’ reasoning and problem solving skills (Burkhardt, 2012).

These methods were well-suited for teaching prospective scientists and engineersbecause they focus on cooperative sharing of ideas as well as healthy discussion and resolution ofproblematic issues [10, 11]. PBL-structured case studies promote higher-order learning skills, suchas application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
