They learn not only that good communication leads to more effectiveengineering but also that an engineering education can help them become more effectivecommunicators. This is often a surprising notion to students pursuing math and science—andwho sometimes assume that engineers can’t write, or won’t have to.EDC owes part of its development to the national resurgence of interest in design3-6 and drawson the strengths of innovative freshman and sophomore design courses from other institutions,such as Clive

For example, is thesharing of a homework with a peer who was ill before the due date more or less “wrong” thanasking an earlier section of a course what is on an exam before walking in to take the exam?

Theuse of such systems allows instructors to maintain the focus on class discussions.One last factor that contributed to the use of a module-based approach is the mathematical natureof the material. It was assumed that when teaching mathematical concepts, instructors willnaturally gravitate toward using familiar examples and techniques in order to explain thematerial thoroughly. Approaching ethics using a micro-insertion approach would mean eitherrelying on individual instructors to develop several of their own ethics-based problems, orprescribing problems for instructors to

For example, theinstructor of the AST introductory course asked students to write a short reflection on theirparticipation in the mentoring program. The BE introductory course has specific points allocatedbased on participation in the program. In retrospect, some consistency across the courses wouldhave been preferable.
