different atmosphere is critical. No longer is this the normal, learn material and repeat that material; this is discovery of material that has not been seen before and the importance of conveying the findings to an audience that is not looking for regurgitated material but material that is fresh and new. The preparation for this activity has taken four years. During the student’s undergraduate years, communication activities have been an integral part of the engineering curriculum. As is shown in Table 1, the student has been provided with multiple opportunities to investigate and practice his/her communication skills within all of the required mechanical engineering courses and many of the elective courses. By the time the student takes the

approach is a concept called “backward design” where “one starts with the end—thedesired results (goals or standards)—and then derives the curriculum from the evidence oflearning (performances) called for by the standards and the teaching needed to equip students toperform” The initial step in the process involves the identification of a set of “enduringunderstandings.” These are the core concepts, the large, robust ideas that are considered essentialto a discipline. With ProBASE, the project team focused considerable time and energy during theinitial stages of the project on an analysis of the Standards, to “boil” them down to the coreessentials for a solid pre-engineering curriculum.

Some of the curriculum materials used in currentexisting introduction to engineering courses may require modification to better meet thetechnological literacy goal of a broad understanding of a wide range of technology.An additional consideration regarding introduction to engineering courses lies in acknowledgingthat not all students enrolled in an introduction to engineering course will persist to completionof an engineering major.
