demonstration of the prototype to an audience thatincludes the client, users, faculty, staff, students and community at the Fall or Winter DesignExpo. These Expos are part of the Design Institute’s Fall and Winter Expos that showcase thework of students in multiple Graduate and Undergraduate design courses and clubs. The DTC2presentation involves a demonstration of the prototype to a smaller audience including theclient, user(s) and other teams that are working on the same project. Unlike DTC1, DTC2projects are distributed to one team per section and across two to four sections. In both DTC1and 2 presenting is an opportunity for students to develop an appreciation for how much theirtechnological and engineering literacy on a specific topic has changed

the US and even around the world. This accreditation certainly ensures highquality of the engineering education that is provided to the students. However, with ABET’sapproach of accrediting individual programs, universities (and departments) tend to develop theirengineering programs largely in isolation. There is likely to be a strong overlap between thecollege-level math and basic sciences courses that are required by ABET, but the courses onengineering topics may or may not be common across multiple programs. There could certainlybe overlap based on the history of how these courses were initially designed, the programs theywere initially offered under, the faculty member(s) who designed and/or taught them, scheduling,etc. Universities and

themselves come from a demand forinnovation, not just an interest or conventional idea for an encapsulating project. Generally, theprojects come from one of two places. Most commonly, MUSE faculty (along with theconnections they have made in their previous endeavors and continued careers) generatepotential projects that will push students to innovate and create new solutions for real-worldproblems. Alternatively, students have the option of finding their own project to work on bycontacting companies for industry-based projects. As long as the project is approved by thestudents’ advising professor(s), the project can be pursued. The requirement of finding actualvalue in the project, outside of being a grade, is an essential start to creating a real
development program [1], [16]. This paper provided a brief overview of theprogram’s construction and content. We then discussed how our preliminary results showed thecohort’s overall strengths and weaknesses, and also that their professional reputation for somecompetencies varies between subordinates, peers, and advisors. Insights like these will helpparticipants interpret their reports, and design the best development goal for well-roundedgrowth.AcknowledgementsThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under GrantNumber 1545211.Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are thoseof the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science

Since then, their documented use and the study oftheir impacts has grown.

Our instructional team consistscompletely of teaching professionals (non-tenure track faculty) with a variety of backgroundsand industry experience. In order to make mentoring 10 to 20 teams tractable, all students teamscomplete the same design challenge. Creating a “good” design challenge is crucial, as the coursedoes more than simply teach the design process (see Figure 1). Teaming and leadership skills,project management, ethics, and technical communication are important outcomes for the course.All of these “Soft-skill” areas are made more palatable to our students if our design challenge isengaging and fun.With eleven different engineering disciplines
