“…69 For example, faculty and students who engage in collaboration with community-based entities to effect positive change while concurrently challenging engineering students in an academic setting have experienced learning outcomes benefiting students, faculty, educational institutions, and community partners 70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79 . Such service learning has proven so overwhelmingly successful that the Kellogg Commission concluded that it "should be viewed as among the most powerful of teaching procedures, if the teaching goal is lasting learning that can be used to shape student's lives around the world 80 ."…”

-This is the first of a series of papers which seek to elaborate upon the cognitive and metacognitive skills which industry has identified as needed by engineers and the descriptions of the pedagogical tools to better prepare the prospective engineers for the careers that lie ahead of them. The papers describe an alternative way of conceptualizing the engineering curriculum by shifting the focus from learning engineering as a body of disparate knowledge consisting of science courses, engineering science courses, and analysis courses to understanding engineering as a way of thinking -promoting deeper conceptual understanding of core fundamental ideas and preparing students to be lifelong learners. Focus is placed on the pedagogy for enhancing the cognitive aspects of thinking including adaptive expertise, selfregulated learning, problem-solving skills, critical thinking skills, metacognition and workplace thinking -incorporating engaged scholarship at its core.
