There is no doubt that these expectations arecritical for STEM majors who are entering the ever-changing, high-tech workforce as well asthose pursuing academic careers. In the Engineer of 2020 (2004), the National Academy ofEngineers (NAE) highlighted the importance of education that prepares students for a rapidlychanging, global, technologically advanced, and innovative workplace. In order to be successfulin such an environment the NAE outlined the characteristics of the future engineer. Amongthese characteristics are strong analytical skills, practical ingenuity, creativity, agility, andflexibility.Creative work in most disciplines is more than having eccentric or unique

From a design point ofview, it is necessary to clearly define our criteria in order to best achieve the optimal outcome.There is a need for some breadth of education, both technically and in the liberal arts. There isalso a need for some depth in one or more specific technical areas. The catch, of course, is thatstudents must be prepared for such a wide array of possible positions following graduation.The vast majority of engineering graduates enter the workforce directly, so programs shouldlogically be tailored to best meet this need.

studentparticipation, and the impacts those activities had on the traditional lecture sessions. 2. Introduction In the past two decades, the extensive research on teaching methods has provided an increasingamount of insight in the most effective active teaching and learning processes1,2. The outcomes ofdifferent studies vary, but a major consensus is that active learning works3: at worst, active learningdoesn’t harm students’ outcomes; at best, it doubles students’ retention4. Consequently, activelearning was incorporated in fields such as STEM,5,6 history and political sciences,7 and business8.Each field, however, focused on different active elements: business school courses are traditionallyknown as mostly case-study based, while engineering courses
