BlackBoard™course statistical analysis shows that students spend substantial time on-line at late hours3 whenprofessors and classrooms are not available. This encourages non-linear education to occur,supporting learning objectives that depend on activities outside the classroom4.

students is the peer- level interaction. For example, the collaboration on homework projects and other assignments is believed to lead to the development of critical thinking skills and a better understanding of the concepts as the students share ideas and information in working these projects together. This teamwork is a required part of the freshman integrated curriculum. It has also been adopted to a certain extent in many of the sophomore engineering courses. So it is likely that by the junior year, those non- integrated students have begun to acquire this particular skill introduced to them in their sophomore year and are using it to their benefit. 3.

Nevertheless, supervisors and managers have theauthority to guide engineering work but must also respect the moral convictions of engineersworking on projects they supervise.In this regard, it has been claimed that ethics cannot be taught to college students and adults.However, there is evidence that formal/informal presentations are well received and numerousindustrial firms and universities are now stressing the study of engineering ethics andprofessionalism in their organizations.

Webelieve a foundational understanding of core science and engineering concepts early in thecurriculum is more critical than ever for students to succeed in upper level engineering coursesand improve their problem-solving abilities for multidisciplinary projects. Therefore, we believepreventing and eliminating student misconceptions can be a key strategy to increase retentionrates in engineering degrees.AcknowledgementWe thank the National Science
