combined with the Project Team Builder (PTB)1 Simulator is used in the field ofIndustrial Engineering.In 1987, Grieshop listed some of the benefits of games and simulations: 1. Emphasize questioning over answering on the part of players. 2. Provide opportunities to examine critically the assumptions and implications that underlie various decisions. 3. Expose the nature of problems and possible solution paths. 4. Create an environment for learning that generates discovery learning. 5. Promote skills in communicating, role-taking, problem solving, leading, and decision- making

that makes easy the assessment of the some of the trickier ABET Student Outcomes to measureIntroduction This paper describes a one-year nuclear engineering capstone designcourse that is rich in assessment data to evaluate student achievement in severalABET (previously known as the Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology) Student Outcomes (SOs). Efforts in the course begin about sixmonths prior to its start by engaging students with a course overview, generalguidance about design project options, and a requirement for students to provideprofessors with their topical interest areas. Over the summer, professors work toalign student interests with faculty capabilities and with possible external projectclients. Students are

funding is available, provides best chance of success.  Students learn many skills not available in curriculum such as programmatic in writing proposals, cost estimates, planning and scheduling.  Often much time in graduate school is wasted trying to figure out a project and executing setup of an experiment. Number one problem leading to delays in graduation.US Government agencies have identified betavoltaics as a disruptive technology that is neededand should be pursued, as evident in reports and solicitations. In October 2013, the DefenseScience Board (DSB) issued its report on Technology and Innovation Enablers in 2030. TheDSB technology report specifically addresses the use of radionuclide power to lighten thesoldiers
