Theengineers of tomorrow must be able to apply concepts from STEM, the humanities, and thesocial sciences in order to win and remain competitive in the marketplace.The unfortunate truth is that many college graduates enter the workforce without significantinterdisciplinary experience. In fact, some professions have traditionally excluded populationsfrom participation within their own community practices [5]. Even those college students that areexposed to a diverse curriculum often lack the ability to communicate effectively with audiencesoutside their discipline and to integrate their in-depth understanding of their area of expertise intoa broader, multi-disciplinary context to solve problems.

Othershave argued for game-based projects, and some have integrated gaming throughout theircomputing curriculum [15, 16]. Alternatively, some educators have introduced hardware into theclassroom. For example, Mahmoud uses mobile devices extensively through many computingcourses, enabling students to work with their own, personal devices [17]. Others have attemptedusing robotics in their curriculum, but have experienced varying results in student success [18].Overall, it is apparent that many educators are concerned with the current state of computingeducation, and are

. In fact, many of the ideas presented by theassociation are extracurricular in nature, which has been found to be ineffective for reachingengineering graduate students, according to meta-synthesis [1]. While librarians are oftenspecialized in the areas engineering graduate students lack and seek personal mentorship in, theyare often stuck in providing that support by ineffective means. The typical engineering curriculum does not have courses on research methods, few havecourses on research integrity or publication ethics, proposing research, writing, peer reviewing,or how your worldview influences your research [4, 5]. Published engineering literature, in fact,often leaves many of these important aspects of research as assumed [5

Theapplication of recursion to the teaching of writing and re-writing is almost intuitive.Curricula designed under this pedagogical model sequence activities so that learnersreturn periodically to a previously covered topic to study the concept within the contextof information they have learned in the meantime.
