On one hand, there was a recognition of the importance of social and politicalcontext across students’ disciplinary backgrounds. However, this did not necessarily mean it wassimple or straightforward for students to integrate these perspectives into their work. “There was certainly a belief that I was on the team to ‘do the social stuff’ required on the course, from both myself and my fellow team members. There was an underestimation of the significance of the social science, in the fact that social science principles must be applied to any development project, in a sense they

Students must consider thecivil engineering aspects of timing a traffic light at an intersection that would be most functionaland provide the greatest level of safety for motorists and pedestrians when coding the timing of thelight at the intersection. Students must consider the behavior of humans at an actual intersection inorder to correctly create a functional model.While mathematics has been a part of the middle school curriculum since the onset of formal edu-cation, the use of computational thinking is relatively new and is not commonplace

Over the course of the semester, the mechanical engineering student team workedclosely with members of TSATT, the C-9 team, and faculty members to develop a plausibledesign.7 The ME 450 team worked with the S3FL Machining team to fabricate the design andwith the C-9 team for component and integrated systems testing.

Today, most engineeringand engineering technology curricula include a senior capstone course [2-8]. Two majorsources that led to this status are the Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology (ABET) and industry [9].

If ourcurriculum did not already include an introductory course that addresses the profession andcareer paths and the curriculum, and that connects students with alumni/practicing engineers,these important topics would be included in the intervention as well, to address the “weakinstitution and/or course match” driver.

Many introductoryproblem solving courses provide the students with a 4-6 step method, but do not emphasizeexplanation and hard problems to develop the cognitive skills required, and facilitate transfer.We believe an emphasis on hard problems and explanation is critical for transfer of skills.For successful transfer to occur, the students must understand well how to solve problems, andnot back off when confronted with a difficult problem2. To achieve transfer, several factors areimportant: i) Self-Efficacy, or students’ confidence in their ability to solve
