An additional grant from NSF’s CourseCurriculum and Laboratory Improvement (CCLI) program was recently awarded for theimplementation of this curriculum.IntroductionWe are living in a service economy and our educational system has failed to keep pace toprovide employers with graduates meeting the demands of the service sector. Over 80% of theeconomic activity in the United States is within the service sector1 with similar high rates inother developed countries.2 This sector

This is discussed later.Capstone Experiences Capstone experiences are where students are supposed to apply what they have previouslylearned to a comprehensive, usually design-oriented, problem. Therefore, this is a very logicalplace to assess what students have learned. Furthermore, since these experiences are usually Page 12.548.4done in teams and they usually involve written reports and oral presentations, the professionalskills (teamwork, communication, global/societal context, life-long learning, contemporaryissues) can be assessed similarly.

In thesecond course (EET-410L, Senior Project Laboratory) students implement the project plan bybuilding and testing a prototype. A typical project involves a solution to a software/hardware-based engineering problem. The process of developing and implementing a solution to theproblem offers a learning opportunity for students to gain new insights and competencies as aresult of “constructivist” and “deep learning” teaching/learning approaches.
