competent.Students agree that this course helps them practice and improve the ABET Student outcomes.We assess their technical and soft skills using different rubrics and also compare the grades withresults from subsequent years. Even when the course has been recently developed, we find thatthere is a trend between the grades of different courses. The tendency shows that if students areproficient in this project course, they will do better in further theoretical courses.IntroductionA critical goal of an engineering program should be to expose students to state of the art andemerging technologies in order for them to achieve and develop all the skills and abilitiesrequired in industry. Today, easy access of information and knowledge through the internet

use, and the patience to listencarefully and overcome the communication gaps. One interesting finding is that for those who reportedthoughtful prompt results and active engagement, their communications were often not limited toprompt interviews but covered topics not directly related to the course content. For example, studentsdiscovered that the KFC menu in China and American are very different, from there they became moreinterested in learning what shape the differences/similarity between two cultures. These experiences, though not always positive, have made students realize that communicationis not just a “soft skill”, but the core of global engineering practice: Through communication studentsdiscovered nuances of how engineering

. But Fair and enjoyable. The difficulty depended on the rest of the classmates and how engaged they were.3. Comments on academic preparedness • While there were certain areas in the course that I knew little about the benefit of working on a multidisciplinary team meant that there were certain areas where I was better equipped to do the work and somewhere another student was better equipped. Overall though I felt prepared for this class. • Academically I was very prepared. I think this course hit hard on soft skills that are not easily obtained or perfected through courses at a university. What helped people to be prepared to take the course was life experience of working at a real job or a lot of

to professional development: “It gives you so much freedom. I haven’t goneto IR in maybe two or maybe one rounds just because right now I already have it all lined up….While everyone else was trying to find jobs, I’m getting experience…I already have an offerbasically every semester and then I can just work on other soft skills while I’m working…. Sothat sounds like a win-win to me.” Non-co-op students also associated a co-op with commitment,but they described this commitment in different terms from co-op students, as the followingsection explores.RQ2: What reasons do students give for not pursuing co-op participation? A. While non-co-op students list characteristics of co-ops and internships in similar ways as co-op students, non-co

. Ourresults show that industry team students had the lowest presentation anxiety among all the otherteams. The fall data states that they were confident to present in comparison to students of theother teams. Soft skills play an equal role in the success of an engineer to the technical skill sets.Industry teams get an extra layer of exposure to overcome presentation anxiety and thus wehypothesize that it does plays a significant role in the overall motivation of the senior capstonedesign students.Thus from the ANOVA analysis performed on the cohorts of senior design students, the industryteams started their senior capstone design course with lower cognition and lower self-regulationthan the non-industry teams. They also started with lower

addressing the“soft skills” that are often absent in the typical engineering curriculum. Respondents 1 and 2mention the ideas of project and time management as applicable skills gained from thecontest. Respondent 1, 2, and 3 all mention gaining practice in presenting their research toothers, through the proposal and the pitch. Respondents 3 and 5 talk about being able to developtheir ideas, both through iteration and through research. This aligns with our plan for the contesttimeline to be an entire semester, rather than a compressed hackathon. These students indicatethat researching and writing proposals is useful practice as a professional skill. Perhaps evenmore inspiring is that Hack Dibner seemed to spark true commitment and enjoyment in

This study follows fourth-year mechanical engineeringstudents in their capstone design course and explores the effects of different students’ learningexperiences on the outcome of their capstone design project.

content. Further, an increase inproficiency in multidisciplinary design teams was sought by immersing students in alternateproblem-solving strategies of their peers, while simultaneously encouraging the development ofteam interaction and other soft skills. The primary objective of DMTL is to provide students andinstructors with an effective technological and pedagogical framework for use during large groupinstructional sessions. In addition to the benefits to the learner, DMTL provides the instructorwith a dynamic view of the learning process, student conceptualizations of content, andchallenges associated with specific topics. This information allows the instructor to intervene andreiterate, elaborate, and reinforce concepts that require
