This project was initiated as a part of Senior CapstoneDesign course in August 2005. The fundamental purpose for the BillikenSat project is twofold.First, it will provide the participating undergraduate students with practical experience in thedesign and construction / integration of a real space mission. Second, it will reinforce interestand support for space mission designs within the Aerospace Engineering program, ParksCollege, and the broader Saint Louis University community. It also has the potential for outreachprogram at the K-12 level. This paper gives an overall view of the current status of design andimplementation process of

With the ethical context of the project, students are then askedto develop a relative ranking of the project alternatives using a simple multi-attribute decisionmaking framework to instill an appreciation of the subjectivity involved in identifying theoptimal project, the ethical dilemmas that could arise in such situations, and the ethicalresponsibilities and pressures that civil engineers may face during project development.

Group exercises and team learningenvironments are integrated in the EET curriculum at the senior level to assist in the successfultransition of the student into his or her profession.The faculty within the department has traditionally used a weighted average comprised of gradedhomework assignments, quizzes, tests, and a final exam to determine an overall grade.

The integration of projects across the curriculum provides a better studentexperience and understanding of civil engineering practice. Projects in the classroom should behandled like projects in professional practice with students taking responsibility for planning andexecuting the projects.

We alsosuggest how it may be possible for undergraduates enrolled in an IE program to obtain leancertification before graduation making them more desirable to companies who are pursuing leaninitiatives. Besides providing graduates with skills that are in high demand, certification canserve to emphasize the natural connection between industrial engineering and lean thinkingincreasing the awareness of the value of
