Central to contemporary pedagogical approaches such as problem-basedlearning and entrepreneurially minded learning is an aim to engage students in authenticexperiences which integrate technical knowledge with workplace skills connected toprofessionalism, communication, collaboration, and leadership. This aim, however, is oftendifficult to incorporate into the design of engineering curricula, which frequently separatetechnical learning from “soft skills” coursework in interpersonal, professional and technicalcommunication. Recognizing this persistent divide, this paper reports on a descriptive case study[8], [9] employing a backwards design approach to integrate professional

One strategy of Rowan Mechanical Engineering is to keep exposing thestudents with the subjects by integrating them into the curriculum and keep refreshing theirmemories with topics that are interested to them. We have developed or modified severalcourses under this strategy, such as the introduction of a new course Mechatronics andimplementation of many hands-on projects (called Junior/Senior Engineering Clinics) co-sponsored by the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

For instance, some courses attempt to introduce experiential leaning throughinter-disciplinary projects.4 Others teach loosely related topics using a unifying theme in fieldssuch psychology5 and biology.6 However, most inter-disciplinary courses usually focus on thedepth of specific content in a couple of disciplines rather than the breadth, i.e. integration ofcontent across a variety of disciplines. More specifically, all students taking such an inter-disciplinary course are required to master the skills and the content equally well regardless oftheir core discipline. An immediate shortcoming of this approach is that it severely restricts thediversity of student participants with respect

. Our curriculum has gone through two major redesigns in the past decade, in response to the needs of industry and graduate schools, while facilitating the implementation of the latest pedagogical innovations in engineering education. Our most recent redesign focused on integrating opportunities for active learning by adding more lab experiences to our already very hands-on curriculum. We believe that student engagement, active learning, and collaboration go hand in hand. Because students are admitted directly into the department, they never compete against each other. On the contrary, they see value in collaborating with each other by organizing study groups and working on team projects. Student responses indicate a

In this paper, we discuss students’ attitudes toward teamwork, teamwork self-efficacy, and interest levels in developing teamwork skills and abilities. Although literatureprovides guidance on how to gauge teamwork self-efficacy, the level of interest towardteamwork and students’ positive or negative teamwork attitudes, the relationships amonginterest, efficacy and attitudes toward teamwork are not clear. We argue that assessing students’interest levels should be an integral part of teamwork assessment because interest is a construct,which can predict students’ long-term dedications to grow professionally in a domain.Therefore
