employed the use ofscenarios for classroom discussion. During Week two, students were given engineering-relatedscenarios to decide if plagiarism occurred. There was also a short exercise on when to cite.During week five, students identified parts of and types of citations. Since students were incomputer classrooms, they were also directed to find citations online. Citations were chosenfrom various engineering databases to reflect current engineering topics. During week eleven,students were asked to “Name that Trademark” and search for patents on the USPTO website.Some engineering trademarks were chosen as well as popular trademarks. Patents wereselected from the National Inventors Hall of Fame as well as from campus patents andapplications.In

University Core courses expose students to multiple literacies, technologies, andsensitivity to diversity, as reflected in the particular course content. Another goal of theUniversity Core is to engage students in developing a sense of their place in our urbanenvironment and in the greater global environment. Thus, when submitting ENGR 3400 and3600 to the Core Committee, the reasoning was that goals and objectives of these engineeringcourses would fit well within the mission of the University’s General Education CoreRequirements and satisfy core curriculum requirements at the University level.
