This assessment follows a similarassessment study at a large public university in six unique capstone courses. Reliability andvalidity analysis during the first year contributed to upgrades to the assessment tools currentlybeing implemented. Qualitative feedback from student and

There are fivesuch courses at our institution – ENGR 199 (freshman level), ENGR 200 (sophomore level),ENGR 350 (junior level), and ENGR 400/450 (senior level capstone). In the SPIRIT meetings,ENGR 199 participants were paired with ENGR 350 participants, while ENGR 200 participantswere paired with ENGR 400/450 participants. However, group work and project managementdiscussions involved participants from each grade level. Groups were asked to record theminutes of their discussions and respond to several pre-prepared discussion prompts.During the semester-long projects, ENGR 350 participants were required to deliver an alphaprototype and to

In the rare cases of existing labs, such hardware based teaching labslack the flexibility to evolve over time and adapt to different environments.Supported by a NSF TUES type II project, we have developed a series of software defined radio(SDR) based mixed signal detection laboratories for enhancing undergraduate communicationand networking curricula. In our previous NSF funded CCLI project “Evolvable wirelesslaboratory design and implementation for enhancing undergraduate wireless engineeringeducation”, we have developed and demonstrated the first nationwide example of evolvable SDRbased laboratories for three existing undergraduate courses.In this project, we are developing new lab components that can be adopted by

Her research contributes to the advancement of labor and personnel issues in engineering broadly and specifically in the construction industry through two research areas: untangling the complex relationship between activities people become involved in — operationalized as engagement — and the technical and professional out- comes gained — operationalized as competencies. The broader impact of this work lies in achieving and sustaining productive, diverse and inclusive project organizations composed of engaged, competent peo- ple. Dr. Simmons’ research is supported by awards from NSF, including a CAREER award. She oversees the Simmons Research Lab (www.denisersimmons.com), which
