the simplicity to be built bystudents over the course of five semesters. The work is designed to test two hypotheses: 1. A long-term design project that integrates knowledge from multiple courses strengthens student knowledge retention. 2. A large-scale design project requiring tools from many courses improves student problem-solving and design skills.By integrating five semesters of the mechanical engineering curriculum into a cohesive whole,this project has the potential to transform the way undergraduate education is delivered. Beforeand after testing is being conducted to assess: a) Change in retention between courses and b)Change in student problem-solving and design skills.Students at Rowan University have built almost all

Moreover, for section B (Technology TeachingOutcome Expectancy), none of the teachers had a median score of 3 post-enrichment, unliketheir pre-enrichment response. These results seem to indicate that the E3 program was successfulin improving the teacher’s efficacy beliefs and attitudes. However, further hypothesis tests needto be carried out in order to determine whether the improvement in scores is statisticallysignificant, which the next objective of this study as is discussed below.Table 3 provides a summary of the mean scores provided by the teachers to the T-STEM questionnaire.The ‘Pre’ columns refer to the scores given by the teachers prior to participating in the E3 program whilethe ‘Post’ columns
