In light of the compact period, a very detailed plan Figure 1: PERT chart for the Reverse Engineering project is vital. PERT and Project Plan are introduced as the tools of project management to accomplish the RE projects on schedule. Apart from managing the time- bound RE projects, the freshmen benefit by learning hands-on time management skills, which is essential

responsible for the design of building systems from initial planning stages through final project inspection and completion. Julia was involved in new and retrofit projects including hospitals, health clinics, assisted-living and nursing facilities, education facilities, office buildings, retail facilities, dormitories, and churches. In July 2003, Julia accepted a faculty position with K-State in the Architectural Engineering and Construction Science Department. She completed her Master’s degree in Architectural Engineering (2005) and her Doctorate (2010) in Education both from K-State. She is a Licensed Mechani- cal Professional Engineer in Kansas and Iowa and holds two ASHRAE Certifications - High-Performance Building

. Thanks to a grant from the Michigan State University Federal Credit Union, CoRe offers sustainability competitions. For the competitions, students are ask ed to investigate various campus departments for wasteful practices and to present their plans for improvement to a panel of professional engineering faculty, staff and Michigan State University Federal Credit Union judges. On the day of the competition, students are asked to submit both a technical and business plan with their general proposal. They are judged on their communication skills, PowerPoint presentation, and their ability to answer questions posed by the judges. Three top teams are awarded cash prizes and their presentations are sent to

encouraging.Using available tutoring data, the researchers found the number of tutoring visits by ENGR 101students increased from 22 visits in fall 2016 to 44 visits in fall 2017. This increase was expectedsince attending tutoring was required during the pilot study. Although researchers expected anincrease in total number of indepent tutoring visits during the pilot study, it was originallysurmised that once students were over the awkwardness of an initial visit then they would bemore likely to use the resource again. It was disappointing to find no change in the number ofstudents with more than one tutoring visits. Fall 2016 had 17 students while fall 2017 only had16 students visit tutoring more than once. For future semesters, the researchers plan to

As teams transitioned from their design justexisting in CAD to a physical manifestation of their ideas, they participated in a second designreview where they presented a draft of their educational materials and plans for manufacture.Two out of three of the parents that participated in the first design review returned for the seconddesign review.

Strategic Plan:  Goal 1: Transform lives through meaningful learning experiences  Goal 2: Inspire, nurture and empower scholarship, creativity, discovery, innovation and entrepreneurial initiatives.The Project CollaborationOne challenge faced in the first year of the project collaboration was that the art and engineeringclasses met on different days. This meant that aside from one scheduled meeting outside of classtimes, the students were strongly requested to meet several times over the length of the projectoutside of class times. This did not work as hoped. While some teams did meet, othersencountered difficulty finding times to meet as a full team or reported a breakdown incommunication. There was a general sense of frustration

higher on the EERI thanthe DIT-2 (small p values and moderate/large effect sizes). This phenomenon may be explainableby the situational nature of the EERI, in which students are exposed to exclusively engineering-specific situations. However, the hypothesis that engineering students are better primed for atargeted test such as the EERI needs to be investigated with a larger pool of subjects.Next Steps This pilot serves as a test run for a longer longitudinal study of ethical and moral reasoningutilizing the DIT-2 and EERI tests that the authors plan to initiate in the Spring of 2019. Based onthe comments from the focus group and other in-class observations, the ethical interventions andtesting scheme will be continually modified moving
