would otherwise be time prohibitive.However, there is a concerning trend of students depending too heavily on this technology.Technology provides an avenue through which students can feign comprehension and continueadvancing in the curriculum. The purpose of this study is to look at different pedagogicalapproaches and their effects on student’s self-efficacy and topic comprehension. To address this,we worked with a required course (ESI4221C: Industrial Quality Control) in the Industrial andSystems Engineering (ISE) curriculum at the University of Florida (UF). This course focuses onquality control and builds on statistical fundamentals while also introducing new theoreticalconcepts such as tests statistics, confidence intervals, p values, and

For allother required courses, the extent of utilization of the framework will depend on the objectives ofthe course project. For example, in the structural mechanics course (i.e. CE321), “Step 4” of theframework will be emphasized since the course project involves the analysis and design of amulti-story building.Additionally, the freshman courses, CE101, EM102 and CE111 do not make use of theframework, however, they do form an integral part of the common project platform by providingdata used to create the site plan for the common project platform.This problem-solving

These two phases exemplify changes where there is an initial commitment to includesustainability topics, but the curriculum remains almost unaltered.

This course was intended to meet Loyola’s core(general education) requirements in the fine arts area, while also satisfying an “engineeringelective” requirement for any engineering students who chose to take the course.Different approaches for integrating art and engineering in an educational setting have beendescribed by several investigators. Some incorporated modules or projects into existing art orengineering courses [1-4] or labs [5,6]. Others developed new courses that combined thedisciplines in particular ways [7-12]. Still others conducted studies outside of courses [13] ormodified entire curricula [14]. The aims and methods associated with these efforts were quitevaried. For example, Benson and
