The pilot interview was qualitative, semi-structured, and open-ended in nature.2,3 Theinterview protocol is listed in table 4.In order to explore students’ ability to recognize and identify mechatronics, instrumentation, andexperimental design concepts without biasing their answers at the initiation of the interview, theprotocol followed a specified format. The first stage of the interview allowed the students toexplain their senior design project (i.e. their roles, problems faced, and stage in design).

The outcomes and skills go hand in hand with the vision for thefuture of professional licensure and the associated educational requirements. Led again by theASCE, ongoing public debate resulted in the issuance of Policy Statement 465 on October 5,2014 supporting the concept that an MS or its equivalent is required to practice civil engineeringat the professional level 3.

All of these classroom techniques certainly emphasize skill-basedlearning outcomes (e.g., determine the size of a pump), but they do not always emphasizemindset-based learning outcomes (e.g., identify an unexpected opportunity).
