The hope is that the Learning Community cohorts mayhelp reduce the drop-out rate from key science, technology, engineering, and math courses.Currently available data: bachelor’s-granting institutionsThe task of identifying students on the engineering pathway is more easily done at institutionsthat grant bachelor’s degrees, where students may be identified as engineering students throughtheir applications and acceptances into an engineering program. Measured outcomes at four-yearschools include persistence along the pathway for their major and being granted a bachelor’sdegree in engineering [6].

, fraud, or other kinds of greed, have a significant impact on society and people. Thefinancial sector functions on trust and credibility since the products are not solid objects and notdemonstratable like video games. Most offerings are futuristic but play a substantial role in anyeconomy. Once honesty is removed, their futuristic products cannot be trusted, and the businessfails. In most cases, the executives face legal issues due to the breach of ethics, laws, andregulations. While engineering graduates may not work directly in finances, they may becomepart of information technology teams and software developers as employees of suchcorporations. Students may not be directly involved in unethical practices or be aware of them,but they still
program into academia and industry.2. A Need for ChangeScience is generally based on experimental methods that allow the formulation of generaltheoretical constructs. Applied sciences focus scientific theory to purposeful activity.Technology and engineering, on the other hand, put applied science to work efficiently in aprocess context. While science seeks basic understanding, technology and engineering areprimarily goal-oriented activities in response to societal needs [4,5].Technical and engineering knowledge can take three forms. Descriptive knowledge describesthings as they are, usually rules, general concepts, and principles in a narrative manner.Prescriptive knowledge is the technical know-how gained from repeated application ofdescriptive

Intracourses can be used to address severaldifficult curriculum design challenges. Rapid technological advances routinely create demandsfor new technical competencies within fixed engineering curriculum boundaries. Current trendstoward increasing general education requirements reduce available time and other resources forspecialized engineering courses. Intracourses allow for novel new curriculum design solutions insuch constrained environments. Each intracourse also provides engineering students with directexperience in exploring the boundary between two

At Rose-Hulman Instituteof Technology chemical engineering students are introduced to process simulators in theirsophomore year and use them on a limited scale in most of the required chemical engineeringcourses. The objective in this course is to ensure that simulation enhances student understandingof the physical process, rather than simply generating numbers. The inner workings of steady-state flowsheet simulators are discussed throughout the course and the pitfalls created byincompetent use of the simulators are repeatedly emphasized.The final two weeks of the course are spent on capital cost estimation.

The American Association of School Librarians and Association for EducationalCommunications and Technology (1998) note that “‘information literacy’—the ability to findand use information— is the keystone of lifelong learning.” Likewise, The American LibraryAssociation (1989) states that “ultimately, information literate people are those who have learnedhow to learn”. Students that have acquired this skill will be more confident learners because theywill be able to find and use the information they need to solve novel problems.
