and Manufacturing Systems Engineering Department, Iowa State UniversityAbstractIn this paper, for the capstone design course, we first show how we demonstrate that ourIE majors attain the ABET outcome items (c) and (h) where (c) is an ability to design asystem, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such aseconomic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability,and sustainability and (h) is the broad education necessary to understand the impact ofengineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context. Toachieve this, we utilize rubrics that are primarily filled out by the instructors and surveysthat are filled out by graduating seniors, Year 1 alumni
