OneMidwest university in particular reported on a self-study exercise in which each section of thecourse was classified. The intent was to use the classification scheme as a tool to pinpointpotential gaps among sections of a common course.3 This exercise was performed for

Discovery becomes more widespread, new applicationsare constantly being found.ResultsIntegration of an instrument such as the Analog Discovery into undergraduate courses helps toalign the EE curriculum with outcomes for students specified by the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET). Three of these outcomes are listed below, along with abrief description of how the Analog Discovery is relevant to them: “an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering” -- To engineer an electric circuit in theory, students uses the science of Kirchhoff’s Laws and mathematical techniques such as calculus. To engineer a circuit in practice, students may use the Analog Discovery to build and verify

began to change in the 1920s as a number of the people whowould later become major names in the field of engineering, such as Stephen Timoshenko andTheodore Von Karman immigrated to America from Europe, bringing with them an emphasis onthe science and theoretical bases that support engineering practice.2 These individuals assumedpositions of power in academia (and trained a new generation of followers of this approach) andsubsequently engineering research began to be practiced and emphasized more in engineeringprograms. The approach spread to programs across the country and gradually the “shop-based”emphasis was phased out and world events such as the Second World War forced the nation tocome up with new technologies to help the United States

Lent et al.18 used the SCCTmodel on students in the computing discipline. However, in both those two studies, outcomeexpectations failed to be precursors of interests and goals contrary to what the theory postulates.The numerous studies with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) majors havebeen conducted which lead to meaningful findings. However, because of specific differences inSTEM fields in terms of disequilibrium—supply-demand—in the labor market, Lent et al.9suggested that specific fields within the STEM should be researched separately.

Deeper levels of learning can be gained as they work together and impact each other. • Analysis and Reflection: This is a key component and vital to connecting the service to the academic content, in order to really gain the most benefit. This extends from relating the academic content to the service, the implications of the social context of the work, all the way to seeing the role of engineering in society.The learning benefits are also discussed in the book by Lima. “The connection to the communitycan provide

Educators seek to evaluate how well we are preparing a diverse workforce to meetthe demands of that sector. A growing body of recent research shows that diversity is animportant component of the STEM workforce, sparking creativity and innovation through variedperspectives [3], [4]. With systematic and structural biases continuing to marginalize women andminorities seeking STEM degrees [5], we fail to achieve the level of
