Even morementioned the value of grit and growth mindset in obtaining their goals and having a successfulcareer. The discussion of mental wellness is not easy, especially for engineers and engineeringstudents. There are a lot of societal stereotypes around mental wellness and openly admitting tomental health struggles is frowned upon.To measure the success of this curriculum shift, we cannot base it on statistics and sample size.We have to realize that

The use of theresearch-to-practice cycles, while an encouraging development, has not made a large enoughchange in the ways engineering education researchers think about framing their results for useacross the broad varieties of practices. We posit that the common understanding of the research-to-practice model is one of impeding factors and that resituating the research-to-practice model isa necessary, though not sufficient, step towards transforming engineering education practice. Theobjective of this paper is to examine the limitations of the current research to practice cycle andexpand the conversation to include a broader and more nuanced understanding of whysustainable change in

The paper describes the building blocks of the program, focusing on curriculumand student outcomes. The IET curriculum is based on a learning-by-doing approach andincludes intensive hands-on activities. By partnering with the industry, students are exposedsince their freshman year to real industrial tools, hands-on activities and simple engineeringdesign, which helps in engaging and motivating them to persist in the program. Student outcomesare analyzed according to specific knowledge, technique and skills

It is not tied to a specific class; itdraws from and integrates concepts from several electrical engineering courses. An advantage tothis approach is that students can more

engineering as a creative field of study. Students see engineering asmath, as an abstraction, as disconnected from reality. Freshmen often look at the dauntingcurriculum and see an abundance of work with little or no reward. What is not apparent in theunderclass-engineering curriculum is the amount of creativity that is necessary to solve industrialproblems1. This becomes more apparent in advanced courses, such as senior design, but we mustbe able to retain students until that level.

These essentialfeatures imply that students must have responsibility for their own learning. They also show thenecessity of student collaboration. Additional features on the list include self-efficacy and peer-evaluation, and regular evaluation of student progress learning. To conclude, problem basedlearning must be the pedagogical basis of the curriculum, rather than part of a didacticcurriculum.
