Curricula generally balance introductorycornerstone courses, capstone design courses, and mezzanine engineering fundamentals andengineering depth coursework. The technical depth, especially in mechanical engineering, isspread across the sophomore engineering fundamentals and upper-level depth courses, withmany prerequisite chains covering multiple breadths.At the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, the classes (and faculty research areas) areorganized around Design & Manufacturing/Systems Engineering, Dynamic Systems &Controls/Robotics, Solid Mechanics, and Thermal & Fluid

engaging inexperiential learning by their instructors. In order to better prepare students for the scenarios theywill be dealing with in their careers a more focused research integration mechanism would allowstudents to more easily identify the skills required to address their assignments in the field. Theimportance of early and consistent exposure to the research process is essential to moremeaningful work during training and while completing capstone research projects. If students areengaging in research processes and taught about the process early on, the projects and questionsthey will answer will be more meaningful to them.Conclusion/LimitationsEven though the student responses indicate a limited exposure and emphasis on researchmethodology

Students will analyze and work with bothstructured and semi-structured data, using the python programming language. Students will learn about the types ofsoftware development environments they are likely to encounter in their careers. The capstone of the course is a small-group project that analyzes real-world data to answer a business or research question.ISE 225 Data Infrastructures ( 3 - 3 - 0 )This course provides an introduction to Data Engineering.

right).II.5 Programming & Sensor CalibrationThe Arduino platform has become very popular in college-level education in the past decade, andmost of the literature reports on its use by first-year or second-year engineering students (e.g.,[2], [3], [4], [10]). Our course is senior-level; as such the students are expected to have advancedknowledge about programming and control theory. They may even come across the Arduino plat-form in their senior capstone projects. Hence, we raised the complexity of the programming part inthis course. Instead of using open-source libraries offered by the Arduino community, the studentswere asked to write the code from scratch for most of their lab work. Also, sensor calibration wasadded to the curriculum to

implications of their future work is an extremely important topic. There are many pitfallswith the traditional large lecture format in which ethics is taught to engineering freshmen. It istaught as an abstract philosophical topic, rather than an act of personal decision making situatedin the nuances of complex real-world contexts [1]. Often, engineering ethics instruction is taughtby a philosophy professor rather than an engineer. It is usually included late in the undergraduatecurriculum, such as during a senior capstone project, and is a relatively short subtopic (module)within a larger array of engineering content. As a result, students often do not see ethics as equallyimportant as other topics. They do not see it consistently integrated

A growing body of evidence advocates that LTS may provide significantadvantages to engineering students, but studies to date are quite limited.11-15 Asuniversities play catch-up to these trends, a fundamental question remains unexplored:What motivates engineering students to be engaged in service?2.
