. Students, who could pick any of the sections based on their course schedule make tworotations during the semester. They spend a total of three weeks in each of the experiential learning facilities(laboratories and other learning environments), and working with a dedicated teaching team to get exposed tovarious project-based approaches in each field of study.Following this model, a set of one-credit courses are also designed to be offered in the second semester,focusing on each particular undergraduate program. Therefore, in their first year, students not only know aboutother programs of study in the school, but also get experience with a deep-dive, program-specific survey courseas a follow-up in their second semester of study.

Students with this learning style benefit from theoreticalcoursework that is heavily reinforced with hands-on laboratory experiences. Although there areseveral lab components in these courses, they do not always address the core concepts that thestudents are struggling with. Classroom exercises are developed to help students betterunderstand certain important concepts in thermal-fluid sciences.

There is alsosome confusion between the jobs of professional engineers and other technical personnel such as,for instance, car mechanics and electricians. This is likely to make the profession less attractiveto women 7.

This decision was driven principally by equivalency concerns, since the course wasto be listed in the student’s transcript as if the course were taken at USMA. Thus, it was decidedthat the content and workload must be similar to that of the students at the home institution. Thelaboratory component posed a problem, but it was judged that the lab load was relatively light,with only 4 laboratory periods (one of which was principally a demonstration), and could thus bewaived. Further, the principle laboratory experience for the student within the major wouldcome in the follow-on semesters.The second driving decision was “How will we evaluate the student’s work?”.
