, based on feedback from our industry partners and alumni, we saw that thestudents performed very poorly in software design. When they were tasked with writing a smallscript to accomplish a specific goal (e.g., computing the Fibonacci sequence), students performedjust fine. However, when given a larger design specification and asked to build a completeend-to-end system integrating both hardware and software, students did not even know where tobegin. Some might argue that those skills should belong only to computer scientists, but that issimply a fallacy. For the vast majority of engineering professions today, good programmingskills are no longer an option but a prerequisite.With these insights in mind, we designed a sophomore-level course that

Along these lines, engineer 2 mentioned “Even though Ihave the technical skills, I prefer to stay away from public policy because I am not familiar withpublic policy process”. This proves that one of the obstacles of engineer’s participation andinfluence is the lack of public policy knowledge. By reviewing engineer’s education curriculums,in the USA educational system, engineers are not exposed to any course related to public policy.The integration of public policy courses into engineer’s education is vital, especially that engineersrecognize that the technical details matter in many policy issues. To further illustrate this point,we refer to studies discussing the relationship between knowledge and

In response to the driving question, students are prompted to start askingconceptually-based questions that motivate subsequent active learning modules. Thus the goal ofthe EFFECTs framework is to create an integrative, rather than additive, module based approach.The most non-traditional component of this teaching (student centered learning) model is areflective writing assignment that usually occurs after each module in the form of a journal entryand which is featured as a significant component of the final report.

Curriculum Enrichment and Development – While the Texas Essential Knowledge Skills (TEKS) provide a nationally recognized example of a results-oriented standard for improving STEM content in K-12 education, there are only a few courses at the high school level in the Texas Education Agency’s (TEA) inventory that can be viewed as having any substantive engineering emphasis or content. This lack of approved engineering curriculum discourages schools from developing and offering individual courses or magnet programs with an engineering orientation because they are largely restricted to awarding local credit for these offerings–––which may not always be transferable. In addition, there is confusion as to what teacher

. Dym and colleagues11 assert that “the purpose of engineering education is to graduateengineers who can design, and that design thinking is complex.” Because of the importance ofdesign in engineering education, efforts are ongoing to integrate design throughout theundergraduate curriculum, rather than reserving it for a single capstone course. Many studentssupplement their in-class design activities with non-required participation in designcompetitions. Focusing on the ABET learning outcomes, Lattuca, et al.6 found that studentparticipation in design competition significantly and positively influenced students’ self-reportedskills and abilities, including design and problem-solving skills, experimental skills, and life-longlearning skills
