These and other activepedagogies can improve engineering student learning [2]. Effectively deploying any of theseapproaches entails a shift in curricular culture. Roles, activities, expectations, and artifactschange from one pedagogical approach to another, and so the underlying assumptions facultymembers make about teaching and learning must change as well.Faculty members undertaking such pedagogical modifications sometimes

, textbooks, and peers [2, 4, 6]. Situatedcognition theory offers a theoretical framework for studying this education-practice gap inengineering. Situated cognition theory proposes that the social and material contexts whereinknowledge is learned and applied influences our ability to apply similar knowledge in newcontexts [7]. Engineering education often focuses on transmitting conceptual knowledge tostudents in abstract formats with the intent of providing students a fundamental understanding ofconcepts so that they can apply these concepts to unique situations in their future coursework orengineering careers [5, 8]. Situated cognition challenges this ubiquitous notion of concepts andour ability to apply conceptual knowledge within novel

In some sections of the experimental US1100classes, a design project was completed after design theory was taught. Introducing students todesign early on in their academic careers has been shown to help students develop crucial skillsthat they would need throughout the remainder of their education and well into their career, suchas critical thinking, working effectively in teams, and technical

Working with the schools,LSA prepares events which guide parents to understand education and career paths for theirchildren in STEM and STEM-related professions. LSA does this with the hope that in additionto being better able to advocate for their children, parents (many of whom are young themselvesand un- or under-employed) will see STEM in their own education or career path.

As of 2005, roughly 35% of undergraduatecapstone design projects were conducted in multidisciplinary teams of students (an increase from21% in 1994).6 Evidence has shown, both qualitatively and quantitatively, that students benefitgreatly from working in multidisciplinary settings.
