This is particularly apropos in the capstone designexperience.What Does the Educational Literature Say?Now let’s go to the recent educational literature to briefly examine if there is support for all threeteaching themes. First, let’s examine the importance of introducing students to theory (basicprinciples). Clearly the definition of “engineering” rests on obtaining specialized knowledge inscience and mathematics, as well as the engineering sciences.2 The Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) also supports this concept.

. Skills and knowledge become more and more closely tiedas the student learns to see the world using the epistemic frame of the profession. Examplesinclude capstone design courses in undergraduate engineering programs, medical internships andresidencies, or almost any graduate program in STEM disciplines. Prior work has also shownthat epistemic games—learning environments where students game-play to develop the epistemicframe of a profession—increases students’ understanding of and interest in the profession3-5.

Furthermore,students exiting the new courses emphasizing mechanics-materials links will be tracked in othermechanics courses with regard to their performance, percentage of students using such principlesin capstone design projects, undergraduate research, and percentage of students pursing graduatestudies in the area of mechanics and materials. Thus, the total impact of the developedcurriculum will be known clearly over a span of about 4-5 years.5.

For example, some may choose touse the capstone design process as their primary focus of their assessment process, while othersmay use the Fundamentals of Engineering examination, an in-house developed comprehensiveexamination, a set of core courses, or a portfolio of artifacts. The complexity caused by thisrange of choices is compounded by the multiplicity of ways of judging the artifacts, which mayrange from objective scoring schemes to subjective scoring schemes such as rubrics. Thedevelopment of scoring rubrics can also compound the complexity because of the possibility ofusing holistic

Groups likeKEEN have been supporting and encouraging EML in engineering education, with thepublication of the “The KEEN Framework” that includes examples of student outcomesassociated with entrepreneurial mindset [6]. Most often, these EML outcomes are incorporatedinto first year and capstone courses that emphasize the engineering design process. Courses, suchas statics, dynamics, and thermodynamics, make less frequent use of EML, possibly becauseinstructors feel like they do not have enough class time to include these elements. The aim of the“Clippers Worth the Cost” activity is to incorporate EML with course content in such a way thatstudents’ experience with the content is more
