This lead to the premise that exposing students to basic constructsof programming across multiple programming languages could lead to an increase in their abilities andconfidence to engage in complex problem solving contexts involving computational modeling. Thispremise lead to identifying two to three programming languages to develop students’ programming skillsinvolving interesting engineering contexts to support learning and interest in engineering as a career. Python was selected as the first programming language for students for several reasons. First,Python can be used for a wide range of applications including numerical modeling, database

class.In order to underscore the explicit connections between spatial skills and other undergraduateengineering courses, careers and industries, a team based research project was introduced in Fall2016. The reasoning behind this addition was to encourage students to look more deeply at someclass, field, or hobby they were interested in, and explore the connections between that topic andspatial thinking. The students then report their findings to their classmates in the form of a finalteam project presentation. Less formally, the hope was that students who had this deeperunderstanding of the benefits of spatial skills instruction would then become ambassadors toother students, encouraging them to take the class to better prepare them for

Students determine the 2nd order modelingfor a linear time invariant system. They exercise how the location of poles can be changed basedon the variation of damping ratio and natural frequency parameters. These responses illustrate asover damped, under damped, undamped, and critically damped. They learn about the impact ofdamping ratio and natural frequency responses on the step and the frequency responseperformances.

Knowledge of both domains, it is argued, will helpstudents to become critical consumers of scientific information, to understand the impact of scientists’ andengineers’ work on daily life and how this work addresses major societal challenges (e.g., treating ofdiseases, addressing climate change or generating sufficient and affordable energy), and lead them toconsider a career in a STEM field.

This drives student engagement, asthey become invested in the lab, and the open-ended nature of the problem promotes the idea thatstudents must continually strive to update their skills throughout their careers.
