of three-courses and anassociated Qualification Plan. The PFE courses serve as a means to inform and involve studentsin departmental and program activities. Having a sequence of courses that all EE students takeprovides an effective mechanism for getting the word out about innovations to changedepartmental culture to be more student oriented.The PFE course sequence aims to support the development of students’ identities as professionalengineers and to motivate them to persist in their degrees. Originally taken as optional electives,the PFE I–III courses became a required part of the core curriculum for EE majors Broadly, thePFE course sequence teaches ethical engineering principles, identifies areas of careeropportunities for students, and

the following ABET-specified student outcomes: an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data; an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability; an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams; an understandingof professional and ethical responsibility; and an ability to communicateeffectively. We discuss more detail below concerning each outcome:- 1: An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of

-yearCornerstone of Engineering course to address the need for building communication skills forfirst-year engineering students [10]. Even though this skill can be taught and assessed, the resultsof past surveys show that engineering students are inadequately equipped to meet this need. TheUniversity of Houston has a Technical Communication for Engineers class that focuses onengineering communication skills including written proposals, specifications, progress reports,technical reports, individual and group oral presentations, essays on engineering ethics,contemporary engineering issues, and the impact of engineering decisions [11]. Duke Universityoffers an Engineering Design & Technical Communication class for first-year students [12].Sorby and

oftransformation to situate the research and the findings holistically. The department’s effortstowards the transformation are motivated by the need to develop students as “integralengineers” [14] who will possess and demonstrate nine distinguishing qualities. They are (i)competent, (ii) confident, (iii) creative, (iv) innovative, (v) entrepreneurial, (vi) ethical, (vii)self-learner, (viii) team players, and (ix) socially aware.Professional Formation of Engineers (PFE) 1-3 coursesThe PFE 1-3 courses are one credit-hour courses in the program's second semester each year.The major topics covered under each PFE course are presented below. ● PFE 1 – Principles of Lean Launch Pad, literature searches, oral communication skills, technical reporting

aspects such as budgeting and scheduling. As part of the senior design sequence, students are introduced to various project management and engineering design tools, frameworks for engineering ethics, and technical standards and regulations. Teams are given frequent opportunities to hone their oral and written communication skills through team presentations and deliverables such as a project proposal, technical report, and final project report. Projects Day, the culminating event for senior design, is held at the end of the academic year. Teams showcase their projects through PowerPoint presentations, participate in a poster session, and demonstrate the prototypes of their solutions. Student

improvement, such as the holistic ECE curriculum transformation projectat Colorado State University, proposing a new organizational structure that interweavesfoundational focus on math and science, creative focus via research and design opportunities,and professional focus on ethics; this is replacing the existing conventional, lecture-style, rigidECE curriculum [4]. Similar efforts have been funded by the RED initiative at Iowa StateUniversity and Virginia Tech [5]. More specific undergraduate ECE education improvementefforts have included pedagogical interventions, such as incorporating project-based learning [4],[6], as well as practical, tool-based interventions, such as the development and introduction of adebugging simulator at Stanford
