Since the FCY curriculum was implemented in Fall 2020, the faculty member(s) of each newly added course to the FCY curriculum gave a presentation to Dean, associate deans, department heads, and disciples in Fall 2021. They presented their evaluation of students’ attainment of each course objective and the mapped ABET student outcomes, an example is shown in the later section of this paper. Also, they presented samples of students’ projects and presentations. At the end of their presentation, they presented what went well and what did not since this was the first experience of the FCY curriculum. The disciples provided feedback to faculty members of the FCY during and after the presentation. Furthermore, the

intackling problems, particularly ill-defined or ill-structured problems which typically lie outsidethe educational domain of the sciences and the humanities. Such problems are more likeproblems, issues, or decisions encountered in everyday life [1]; Fox (1981) refers to this type ofproblem engagement as ‘real-world problem solving’. Reference [3] likens this intrinsic value ofdesignerly knowing to the educational value of critical thinking. To extend this idea further, Iwould argue that [3]’s analogy presupposes the reflective nature of design. In the followingsections I will present three aspects of the nature of design (i.e., reflective, ill-defined and open-ended, and social) and discuss how they can contribute to an engineering education rooted

The focus of the conversation wasthat the author felt a recent 4.4% cut in the College'·s budget andcontinued rises in enrollment were eroding the quality of his education.The Dean asked the author to define a quality education. A list ofvarious criteria such as class size, advising, faculty competence, andup-to-dateness of lab equipment quickly came to mind. However, thelist was incomplete and quite myopic. The Dean pointed out two problemswith the list: 1. It was only one person's perspective, i.e., another student would probably generate a different
