have formeda collaboration to develop a new vision of engineering education called the CDIO Approach(www.cdio.org).3 CDIO is designed to deliver the knowledge and skills needed by industry. Itprovides an education stressing engineering fundamentals, set in the context of the Conceiving,Designing, Implementing, and Operating process. The goals of the CDIO approach are toeducate students who are able to: ≠ Master a deeper working knowledge of the technical fundamentals ≠ Lead in the creation and operation of new products, processes, and systems ≠ Understand the importance and strategic impact of research and technological development on societyThe CDIO approach identifies and implements 12 Standards of Effective Practice

Given the high attrition rate and declinein enrollment of engineering students, the researchers are particularly interested in the impact ofengineering-focused FIGs on academic success, retention, and graduation of students initiallyinterested in the field of study.This concern with freshmen interest groups (FIGs) for engineering students complements themore general concern of how to increase the quality of undergraduate education and studentretention.

One of themore interesting aspects of ASDSO’s conference (as opposed to other engineering conferences)was the emphasis placed on the communities impacted by dams. Civil engineering is a relativelypeople-oriented field to begin with, but ASDSO interacts with the public in nearly every aspectof dam construction, design, maintenance, and decommission.”Another noted, “As a student I was still unsure of my plans after graduation, but after attendingthe conference I felt that dam safety was the correct path for me.

The result is that many students haveexcessive difficulty with the subject and do not develop a "feel" for the topic or the associatedreal-world equipment2,3. Felder et al. have summarized this best by stating that without studentinterest or a belief in the need to learn the material, a course “stimulates neither interest normotivation to learn. The fact that many students in these courses appear apathetic and dopoorly…should not come as a surprise”.4The relevant educational research and literature is clear in the belief that greater student impact,understanding, and retention can only be achieved with greater student engagement5.

Systems thinking is a holistic approach to design that requires understanding the connectedness of engineering projects and decisions to broader social, economic, and environmental systems. In systems thinking it is understood that the components of a design act differently when isolated from the environment or other parts of the system. Thus, there is an inherent need for interdisciplinary collaboration to best understand the impacts and tradeoffs of engineering design decisions.
