Introduction Introductory software programing is an important first-year course that brings students to thedoor step of the CS major, which we consider as a CS1 course based on the definition given in[1]. It is also a requisite course for many students majored in Science, Technology, Engineeringand Math (STEM). The majority of the curriculum of this course is to teach a specificprograming language without any introductory concepts of

transitioning from a typicallecture-based approach to an experiential learning approach while describing associated benefitsrelated to engineering and technology student leadership outcomes.IntroductionIt is increasingly apparent that today’s engineering challenges require a higher order of thinking.The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) states that engineeringprograms must demonstrate that their baccalaureate students attain certain outcomes forgraduation. A set of 11 student outcomes1 are described in General Criterion 3 that can bedivided into two primary categories: five “hard” technical skills and a second set of six“professional” or “soft” skills2 as indicated in Table 1 below.Table 1 - ABET General Criterion 3.

Engineering educators should better prepare students for careers in innovation. Indoing this, they must “undermine their students’ blind commitment to the engineering paradigm”[3] which is centered around the scientific approach to knowledge making. To accomplish thischallenge, the exploration of paradigms such as ones used in the schools of business,communications, and political science is suggested. Incorporating this exploration will allow theengineering and technology student to critically reflect on and debate the beliefs, practices, andvalues of their paradigms and

As such,when a project is completed, it is finished and is not repeated or duplicated.Classic example of a temporary, unique and progressively elaborated project is building a homeor constructing a factory or production unit. These projects have a beginning, an end with specificsteps. Also most of these are longer term projects which work against any type of improvement.PMI BoK emphasizes that different time frames, owners, etc. make projects unique and that “thepresence of repetitive elements does not change the fundamental uniqueness of a project’s work”(PMI BoK [section 1.2.1]).

2020 the National Academy of Scienceschallenged educators with a goal it stated “to reengineer engineering education” [1]. Thatreengineering involves asking the questions: “How can we make our processes more effective,more quality conscious, more flexible, simpler, and less expensive?” [1] One potential approachto making our processes more flexible and less expensive is by satisfying multiple requirementsof the ABET general criterion 7 for facilities with a single space. Criterion 7 states, “Classrooms,offices, laboratories, and associated equipment must be adequate to support attainment of studentoutcomes and to provide an atmosphere conducive to learning [2].” Educating the Engineer of2020 states, “Although its form may change from one
