that would provide a high interest classroom project basedupon sound curriculum. The challenge for the project was to refine an academic competitioninvolving a simulation-based video game relating to Industrial Engineering. The project wasdivided into 2 divisions, one for junior level students in grades 6 – 8 and one for senior levelstudents in grades 9 – 12. Obviously, a major issue was designing the competitions with aproper level of difficulty for both age groups while keeping the subject matter relevant tomeaningful engineering concepts and instructional frameworks.The competitions were intended to help students acquire fundamental problem solvingcapabilities as well as a basic understanding of some tools used in Industrial Engineering

included the broader quantitative and information literacies [4].In response to major changes in accreditation outcomes in the late 1990s (a.k.a. ABET 2000),many engineering schools began programs to integrate writing into their technical courses.“Writing across the Curriculum” replaced or supplemented technical communications courses.Engineering faculty were reluctant to participate, as they felt ill-prepared to teach writing, andfelt that writing instruction would take time away from important technical content [5]. With nospecific requirement for graphical communications in the new ABET accreditation requirementsand pressure to address other criteria, graphical communication courses fell by the wayside atmany universities.Defining Visual
engineering in a writing class appears to yield an excellentfocal topic for a technical report; to motivate students to strive for a “best effort” and to seewriting not as a separate discipline, but as something integral to their overall engineering tool kit;and to demonstrate that using so-called prescriptive, recipe-based pedagogy (sometimes frownedupon by factions within the Rhetoric and Composition discipline) does indeed work well withengineering students learning how to write reports. Furthermore, this kind of assignmentcontributes to engineering students’ mastery of system-level thinking and problem solving;brings a STEM component into writing program classes; and, based on the results of theassignment’s first trial, causes a flicker in the

Compared withthe results collected in Fall 2017, it can be found that the Fall 2018 class has made progress indeveloping 9 out of the 11 ABET student outcomes (a, c, e, f, g, h, i, j, and k).

contenthelp in the education and later in the performance as an engineer? - the creators of the theorybegan to discuss with professors of mathematics courses, professors of specific courses ofengineering programs and even professional engineers. In these conversations they found adifficulty in communication due to the specific language used in each training, often usingdifferent languages and different symbols for the same mathematical content.From these concerns and the need to have a curriculum more appropriate to courses that useMathematics as a tool, according to Camarena [15], the TMCC curricular phase emerged.In this phase, a methodology was developed to design study programs, firstly of mathematicsfor engineering programs, called Dipcing
mental models andconnecting the model to prior knowledge. They posit that the ability to extract key ideas fromnew material and integrate it into existing mental models leads to development of mastery overcomplex content.In the context of an undergraduate course on computer networking, topics such as configuring,securing, troubleshooting, and managing routing across subnetworks in the computer networkingarea require the student to develop a practical hands-on understanding of network models,protocols, hardware, cabling, subnetting, routing and switching. This encompasses a large set oftheoretical and practical competencies. While there are several resources available for learningabout these topics, according to [3, p. 9] commenting on the
