Searching for an alternative method of integrating these new competencies, ateam of researchers at North Carolina State University has constructed a junior-level discipline-specificteaming, writing, and speaking (TWS) module and consultation series.

potentialinfluences, and some students may be uncertain about what constitutes academic integrity andwhat constitutes plagiarism if they are new to the English language and or western educationalstandards.[1, 18] In summary, the reasons for plagiarism are many and complex.[9]Engineering educators may debate the relevance of plagiarism to the practice of engineeringtoday. The reality is that many master of science degree programs in engineering fields rely onthe development of technical and problem solving skills in their respective curriculum. As aresult, students may not be required to develop and refine writing or research skills. Often, theprimary objective most masters programs at the Case Study University, is securing full-timeemployment. Because of the

research and course work is one method of developing a new type of researchprogram.At this time there are approximately 400 undergraduate and 30 graduate students in the NDSUECE Department. Contained in this group of students are very talented and bright individualscapable of thinking independently, taking initiative, and leading groups of people. One methodof challenging these capable students is to integrate active research programs directly into thecourses currently being taught in the ECE curriculum. Over the past few semesters, the authorshave been working to bring research activities into the courses in electromagnetics that werementioned earlier. In particular, research topics associated with flexible antennas, microwavecircuitry, and

Different modules of the course are outlined andthe integration of simulations and experiments into the curriculum are described. Thestudent learning and the suitability of the course website in helping the student learningwere assessed. The results showed that the availability of the course material andcomputational modules on the website were very helpful to student learning, and studentsat multiple campuses could take the course simultaneously. The student evaluations ofthe experimental course suggested that the hands-on component was very well receivedby the students. The associated experience of

together to more fully address morecomplex design problems.There is a diverse set of engineering design experiences, skills and knowledge that pre-collegestudents acquire. As students matriculate, one of the main skills that engineering collegegraduates obtain from their education is the ability to efficiently and effectively solve a problem[17] . When students with pre-college engineering exposure enter the college engineeringclassroom, they may experience the tension of trying to reconcile previous experiences withthose taught in college [1]. Regardless of their previous experience, there has been an increasingfocus on encouraging design exploration and reducing fixation [18] while also teaching students tobetter integrate mathematical

universities attempt to accomplish this through a distribution of elective coursesin the humanities and social sciences, connections between the technical content of theengineering curriculum and the values and paradigms of the humanities and social sciences arenot typically developed or emphasized. Engineering students often do not appreciate theirhumanities and social science electives and have difficulty relating them to their education andcareer goals. In addition, incorporating additional liberal arts courses into an already crowdedcurriculum is difficult for many engineering and engineering technology programs.4 Similarly,students in the humanities, social sciences, and other non-science fields may not fully appreciatethe influence of science

Our survey results indicate that our engineeringstudents engaged in this project developed better teamwork skills, communicationsabilities, and interests in community-based projects. These attributes are fundamental toABET accreditation process. Based on student responses, it was evident that the service-learning activity had a direct and profound positive impact on the students.
