responses between the start and end of senior year.We hypothesize that this is due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on higher educationand the broader economy in the 2021-2022 school year. Despite the lack of significance in othercohorts, we have made some general observations that we are interested in exploring with furtheranalysis :1) On average, 10% more students pursue a masters degree (either MS or MEng) in BME or aclosely related discipline directly after graduation than plan to at the start of senior year. We arevery interested in the causes of this shift (both positive and negative.) Since these students plansat the start of senior year are evenly split between PhDs/professional degrees (5%) and industry(5%), some potential

The Project-Basedcontext provided by the Consortium structure exposes engineering students to meaningful, real-world challenges. Industry provides the project topics and technical mentors, while projects areself-selected by students based upon a match with their background skills and educational goals.The educators (both academic and industrial) are present to assist as facilitators rather than as aprimary source of knowledge, and
studentacademic progress and shows how learning outcomes can be used to provide focus for ISprograms. Achievement of learning outcomes enables academic institutions to monitor andimprove information systems programs. Two sets of learning outcomes are identified to providefocus to the curriculum. The college major learning outcomes form the basis of the curriculumand serve as a focus for curricular design and improvement. The University learning outcomesare an overarching set of higher-level outcomes. A master course syllabus that includes thecourse contribution to specific learning outcomes is developed. Instructors use the mastersyllabus to design course content and build learning experiences that are used to address adesired learning outcome. Students

The main role of the Scrum Master is to act as an interface betweenthe Scrum Team and any distracting influences, which both implies to keep order in theScrum Team and ensure focus but also implies to handle contact with, for example, theProduct Owner. The Product Owner is a representative of the product to be developed, whichcan be an external customer or somebody with an interest of the final product [4].The Scrum Team works in short development cycles, called sprints. Each sprint spans aperiod of typically a couple of weeks or a month. Each sprint starts with a preparatory task todefine the tasks to be undertaken in the sprint and ends with a delivery to

Now that Marcus is driving he can tell howsmooth his car drives with no problem. Driving his car from sunrise to sunset, Marcus washaving a blast being able to drive himself to and from work and anywhere else he pleased. Asweeks and months started going by his car started leaking brake fluid because of defects in hisbrake master cylinder, but Marcus never knew it because his car has yet to give him anyproblems during his drives on the road or highway. So he kept driving his car without knowingto let anyone look at it to see if there was anything wrong with the Camry. One day while

-based or competency-based course where the topics aredifferent skills that a student is expected to master. Skill-based courses, like programming andmath courses, could be graded with a scheme where each skill presented is rated and used toform an overall course grade rather than an overall grade based on the assessment types.Additionally, the ACM/IEEE Computing Curricula Report in December 2020 [1] suggested atransition from knowledge-based learning to competency-based learning in Computingundergraduate programs including Computer Engineering. Recognizing that skill-based courseslike programming need to be evaluated differently, and with this shift to redefining courses andcurricula in a competency-based model, the grading, assessment, and our

Wealso encourage teams to enter competitions such as Cleantech Challenge [6], where teams pitchtheir project ideas and the most successful ones get additional funding.A unique aspect of our Cornerstone courses is the use of the Scrum PM approach. Previously, wehave described how we use and assess it across the ECE curriculum [7], [8]. We largely followthe usual Scrum organization [9] but have made some adjustments to accommodate theeducational environment, including [8]: 1. Roles of Product Owner and Scrum Master are flexible and adjusted to specific level and course contexts. 2. Students are required to use a kanban board to track and document their planning and progress in implementation. 3. Teams are formed by instructors. 4

SystemsEngineering is such a discipline. It has been in existence for a considerable time and it has grown out of a hostof methodologies that have emerged over time to support Systems Design Engineering as a key element ofcomplex design teams. This paper reports on our recently developed Graduate program in SE focused toward development ofcomplex systems. Each such complex system requires a clear Systems Engineering Master Plan, a set of SEMethodologies, appropriate tools, a rigorous requirements flow-down technique, and a comprehensive ProjectManagement Plan to
