past several decades, there has been an increasing emphasis on the importance of engineerspossessing important professional skills, including global readiness or awareness. In 2004, theNational Academy of Engineering (NAE) described the Engineer of 2020 as being proficient in“interdisciplinary teams [with] globally diverse team members” (p. 55).1 As the NAE stated,“While certain basics of engineering will not change, the global economy and the way engineerswill work will reflect an ongoing evolution that began to gain momentum a decade ago.” (p. 4).Engineering graduates will be called to solve increasingly global problems and to work in teamsthat contain members who are either from international locations or are globally distributed.Across the
University of Alabama Civil Engineering Department from2005 through 2015. During this period, the department and its programs were expanded andtransformed through: (a) adopting a new set of Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) andStudent Outcomes, (b) the addition of three more undergraduate degrees, (c) the development ofa single set of harmonized PEOs and learning outcomes for four programs, (d) the developmentof shared capstone design classes across multiple degree plans, and (e) the use of an integrated,multiple program ABET Self Study Report. As we present this case study, we will analyzecommon challenges, extract lessons, and make recommendationsWhile a complete vision for a new multi-discipline BOK is beyond the scope of this work, wewill

This composite score provides an easy means to compare results between groupsof students, or between current and prior groups of students, and may be used for classroompurposes as well as program purposes.The flexibility of the EPSA Method allows it to be readily adapted for use in courses at all levelsin the curriculum. The course instructor plans on using the EPSA method in subsequent years asa means to assess the ABET Professional skills at the program level.At Norwich University, the
].Additionally one way for students to become independent and highly competent at findinginformation using limited resources is by integration into the engineering curriculum[9].In collaboration with the course instructor this study was initiated with the goals ofunderstanding the (1) use of standards by students during the design process and (2) acquisitionand organization of standards and codes within corporate engineering firms. The end result beinga foundational guide for library instruction of engineering standards literacy.Student Standard UsePrior to their final year of coursework, engineering students have little to no knowledge ofengineering standards. The students typically have limited knowledge of standards acquiredthrough internships

developed and calibrated Monte Carlo simulations of free-molecular aerodynamics to determine drag effects in ELEO orbits. An example of non-technicalinvolvement is business students who organized events to promote campus awareness of ELEO-Sat. Moreover, the senior capstone course involves local high school students consideringSTEM careers through outreach programming including participation in high altitude balloonprojects. Similarly, the project provides outreach opportunities to local elementary schools usingspace science curriculums developed by Taylor University elementary education majors.Working on projects like ELEO-Sat equips students from many disciplines with skills they needfor the future. Collaboration between non-capstone students
