By implementing and assessing hands-on engineeringdesign project assignments at the sophomore and junior levels, we have improved student designknowledge, confidence, and achievement prior to capstone design.IntroductionAn undergraduate biomedical engineering (BME) curriculum should prepare students toapproach complex problems confidently. To achieve this, BME programs can offer curricula thathelp students develop into technically adept engineers, effective communicators, and skilleddesigners that account for social, economic, and ethical responsibilities.

Body of Knowledge is a valuable resource for junior engineers to recognize the skillsand training necessary to enter the civil engineering profession, yet the resource has notnecessarily been adopted among civil engineering faculty in a deliberate way. The authors of theBOK specifically identify the senior design course as the likely opportunity for students toacquire knowledge in specific professional categories supporting full development intocompetent civil engineers. The BOK’s language identifies the course as one component of the“typical pathway for fulfillment” for the Social Sciences, Critical Thinking and Problem Solving,Teamwork and Leadership, Professional Responsibilities, and Ethical Responsibilities.

Because these courses represent the foundational aspects of thecurriculum, core courses are often spread across the curriculum and are very carefully sequencedthrough the use of prerequisites. This expectation is confirmed in Figure 7.What was surprising about this constellation is that one of the core courses was taken very late inthe curriculum (circled in red).

Another common occurrence is that engineering lab classes often encompass a widevariety of learning objectives [9]. For the purposes of ABET evaluation and assessment, it is notuncommon for lab classes to be used to assess student outcomes beyond experimentation, andincluding student outcomes having to do with communication, teamwork, ethics andprofessionalism, and life-long learning. Communication, in particular, is a component in labclasses that often results in the majority of time being spent on the preparation of written reportsrather than on actually doing the experiment or in reflecting on the results [10].

Part of the issue with plagiarism in computer programming is a lack of consensus on what isand is not ethical to copy and use without acknowledgement when it comes to computer code.Many programmers gladly share code openly, and being able to find examples of code that canhelp you write a program can be a valuable and valid skill for a programmer.
