A well-designed, relevant, and engaging curriculum will provide ample opportunities for rigorous exploration of the concepts. We believe that aligning the curriculum more closely with modern practices (i.e., emphasis on software, real data sets, etc.) and integrating oral and digital communication principles into this course represents a natural progression for an engineering statistics curriculum.

Increasingly, there is so much forstudents to learn about their chosen discipline that there is little space in the curriculum forcoursework that deals directly with these kinds of issues. It is hard to find space in the typicalengineering curriculum for a course in teamwork skills.

The importance ofSTEM education as a driving force for economic stability and growth is unquestionable and has been acatalyst for change across the globe in recent years. Given the growth of technology and digital computersin the 21stcentury and the demands for professionals and engineers with computer science and problem-solving skills, computational thinking (CT) has gained
