engineering educators to make changes intheir curriculum to provide engineers who are career ready when they hit the workforce(Agrawal 2016). One possible such change is toward student-centric learning, which can take avariety of forms. The most common of these is experiential learning, in which a student learnsthrough an experience that either consists of or mimics a “real-life” experience, such as aninternship or an industry-sponsored project. Another less common student-centric tool isdifferentiated learning or differentiated instruction, in which some aspect of the classroom istailored to the needs of specific student groups.For years, experiential learning has been at the core of engineering education through capstonecourses, labs, and real

The new approach adds twonew learning outcomes and removes one from the earlier approach.
