[22], [23], have found that engineering students seem tostruggle with and resist social context and engagement with public welfare concerns andsocial consciousness in engineering– which are factors relevant to their engagement withhuman-centred designing.This paper stands with these ongoing calls for the engagement and integration of such notionsin a civil engineering curriculum, and so we propose a psychology-informed approach. Thisis to facilitate these integrations, but with the intention of bypassing the possible resistance –by

Using the promotion of the ITOW workshop as a model we will examine whatone can do when trying to introduce a new idea (i.e. workshop, program, etc.) to anacademic body such as an engineering faculty. In this paper we describe the process ofimplementation of ITOW by facilitators on three different college campuses, the impacton those campuses, and document implementation problems and solutions. Two of thecampuses are majority institutions and the third is a minority institution. We will comparethe experiences of each of the facilitators and discuss the problems each campus faced inrunning a workshop of this nature and how these issues were resolved.

A reviewof institutional data regarding the graduation rates of rising juniors in the College of ETCS from2006 to 2015 reveals that only 27.5% of new juniors completed their degrees in two years; 58%completed their degrees in three years; 64% in four years; 72% in five years; and 82% in six years.The ranges of percentages within the college and the corresponding weighted averages are shownin Table 1. Some of these students get discouraged and quit altogether. Therefore, the significanceof this project is that it will shorten the time it takes students to

way of determining aconcept’s importance.Keywords: cognitive domain, mental models, undergraduate engineeringIntroductionLearning is an integral part of our lives. Each one of us learns the same things differently based onour preferred way of learning. We can learn by building mental models; through feelings,emotions, attitudes; and by physical movements. Based on this, the domains of learning are broadlycategorized as cognitive (knowledge), affective (attitudes), and psychomotor (skills) [1]. Eachdomain of learning focuses on one of three ways the brain can be engaged in learning. Thecognitive domain is focused on mental processes or thinking, the affective domain focuses onfeelings, attitudes, and behaviors, and the psychomotor domain

A recent study with high school students foundthat PjBL was especially beneficial to the lowest-performing students, enabling them to improvetheir mathematics test scores more than middle- and high-achieving students [2]. At the sametime, PjBL places additional burdens on instructors, lab spaces, and departmental budgets,particularly when a hardware component is involved.
