Especially as experiential learning becomes increasingly prevalent in curriculum designand further emphasized as an important educational tool, engineering technology is beginning togain traction as both a career path and a field of study, particularly among those seeking to spendless time in the classroom. For instance, in 2014, there were over 34,000 students who graduatedwith 2-year engineering technology degrees, versus 4,409 students who graduated with 2-yearengineering degrees, even though the number of graduates with 4-year engineering degreesremained substantially higher than those with 4-year engineering technology degrees [1].As this growth continues, it is increasingly evident that more research needs to be done

In order to increase engineering exposure, to improveretention, and make a connection between the first year courses to engineering practice, wecreated an interactive project-based engineering design course, called Engineering Exploration,at Rutgers University – School of Engineering (RU-SOE) as a replacement to the traditionalfirst-year introductory course.9,10 The traditional course is an attendance based lecture typecourse that surveys the engineering majors.

students attribute to it. A component of course quality is thedelivery or presentation of the course content. This study focused on developing strategies toimprove this aspect of course quality. Often in engineering, instructors focus more on what theybelieve is good for the students (and they are often correct), but do not adequately take intoaccount the students’ point of view on the instructional delivery methods and the entireeducational experience. This often results in gaps or mismatches between student expectationsand learning preferences, and faculty expectations and teaching preferences. Stedinger [1] illustrates how these gaps can be overcome if faculty members helpstudents to better articulate what is working and not working for

waswell aware of the need to develop a program around an engineering science and not around aspecific given technology.The exploratory committee felt that these opportunities available to a student graduating with aBS in robotics engineering needed to be in two areas. The first required area of opportunity forgraduating students must be with industry. Does industry see the need, and does it also value anddesire to hire students who possess such a bachelor degree? Lawrence Tech found that inconsulting with its industry advisory board members, and also with numerous representativesfrom industry who were not on the school’s industry advisory board that there was anoverwhelming interest in graduates with such a degree.

As mentioned previously, the course is taughtin a flipped classroom modality so students work on their system maps during class, enablingrich conversations between faculty members and the design teams. These conversations serve asopportunities to illustrate to students how their engineering work recreates existing social issues.For example, one team wanted to build a system to test water in
