believe they can do so3. Students will bewilling to generate solutions for complex engineering problems, and that is of interest forengineering programs because that is one of the ABET learning outcomes21. There are benefits toimproving students’ self-efficacy, and the difficult task is quantifying it and identifying whatenactive experiences are most effective in improving efficacy.With the topics of active learning and self-efficacy in mind, at Slippery Rock University (SRU) amulti-cohort design project has been implemented in the mechanical engineering curriculum.Through this project and their capstone design courses, data will be collected and analyzed onstudent achievement of learning outcomes and engineering self-efficacy. This is done to

alone.Point 2: Master’s topicA nice feature in many engineering curriculums is a general engineering course where studentscan experience different engineering fields in their first year of study. Many students think theylike the idea of engineering, but don’t really know what an engineer does or what the differentdisciplines are. Many can identify Computer and Mechanical engineering don’t know aboutchemical, aerospace, industrial or Product Design and Manufacturing engineering. After thesecond year of study, students must commit to an area of engineering they prefer. Even afterthis, students change their mind as they learn more about each program.In the 3rd or 4th year, as graduation gets closer, is a student ready to select an area to master?What is

student team were partiallyachieved. The engineering design process was loosely followed, but the design selection processwas not discussed and final designs were not specifically defined. Their designs consideredsustainability factors; however, they were not fully justified with mathematical models and data.Each student collaborated effectively with their other team members, but their technicalcommunication was inconsistent and incomplete between their presentations and reports.Observations of Student LearningOverall, the expected student learning outcomes were observed to be achieved. Most studentteams applied the engineering design process to produce sustainably minded solutions andsupported their designs with mathematical models of the heat
