For the control experiments, the system behavior isobserved rather than modeled and the control is performed with National Instruments equipmentand LabVIEW graphical programming language. Students first develop a basic level ofcompetency in the LabVIEW g-code, and then use simple programming techniques to develop anapplication-oriented understanding of feedback control.Control is an integral part of many engineering and applied science majors in the school ofengineering and applied science

for scientific research noris it simply an extension of content and method of pre-professional undergraduate education. Infact, it is different because the aims are different, as are the professional maturity factors,experiences, and objectives of graduate engineers. As Cranch has pointed out, everything can’tbe taught in the already saturated undergraduate engineering curriculum, nor have undergraduateengineering students reached the level of professional maturity to grasp certain professionalissues.10Because of the inexperience of undergraduates, and their stage of professional maturity, many ofthe professional dimensions cannot be developed until later years in graduate professionaleducation and after the graduate has gained an established

The key feature of the NMT Partnership that enables the communitycolleges to offer associate degree programs in nanofabrication is a suite of sixnanofabrication courses taught three times per year (fall and spring semesters andsummer session) at the Penn State Nanofabrication Facility. The NanofabricationFacility staff teaches these six nanofabrication courses, called the “capstone semester,”for the community colleges and other partner institutions. To date, 173 students from 16different institutions have completed the NMT capstone semester.

Instead,students are left to infer engineering as technically neutral through the instructional decisionsthat make up an engineering curriculum (Cech, 2013; Trevelan, 2014).In this study, we focus on how students understand the role of sociotechnical thinking inengineering. Particularly, this study centers seven minoritized students in an introductoryengineering computation class who are pursuing an engineering degree.

For students to become more multidisciplinary in nature, studentsneed to learn how real project teams interact and how they coordinate designs while maintainingtechnical execution. This combination of skills remains an area of study within engineering educationthat still is in need of further development and refinement for different majors (McNair et al. 2011).In looking at Tomek’s (2011) work, it was paramount to distill in the students the understanding ofroles, responsibilities, and the integration of the various disciplines.

The objective of such exposure throughout the curriculum is to catchthe interest of students at an early stage, and thus encourage them to pursue those career paths. The project uses web-based modules to address its goals at two levels. One is to increaseinterest in science and engineering at the lower level courses for majors and non-majors. Theother is to improve retention by offering support for upper level courses. While some modulesare course specific, others are deliberately planned to be independent, allowing for maximumflexibility. All modules are available over the Internet.

Critical thinking also requiresmeaningful and reflective judgement which leads to better logical conclusions of arguments.Critical thinking or reflective judgment is required to solve ill-posed problems [e.g., 26].Five phases of critical thinking include the trigger event, an appraisal, the exploration,developing alternative perspectives, and integration [e.g., 27 and references therein; 28]. In thefirst phase, the trigger event, unexpected events occur that result in a sense of “inner discomfortand complexity”. This means that the problem or situation arrests attention that makes animpression that warrants further attention. During the think phase, to be most effective, thestudents’ task must pique their interest and
