the purpose of the papers was given. Students were told the purpose of thesepapers was to help us determine how well their experience in Seminar was helping them learnthese important principles. Students responded well to this explanation with the result that theoverall course evaluation score went up to 5.6 among these students, statistically the same asstudents not required to write the papers.Individual learning competencies based on the outcomes presented at the beginning of this paperwere also evaluated using student evaluations. The competencies evaluated are presented inTable 2.Table 2. Learning Competencies Evaluated Q 1 Know the steps necessary to become a licensed professional engineer. Q2 Understand the role of professional
