design courses deserve a renewed sense of importance as students strive to concludethe academic experience and prepare themselves for transition to professional practice [10, 20,28]. It is an ABET accreditation requirement within AE Programs that graduates have a synthesislevel of knowledge in one of the four traditional AE disciplines (HVAC, Lighting/electrical,Construction, or Structural), with appropriate levels of application and comprehension of the otherthree disciplines [30]. Capstones provide excellent mechanisms for developing new leadersamongst the cohort of graduating students in these areas [26,30].Many researchers such as Dutson et al. [12]; Labossière and Roy [21]; and Todd et al. [32] haverevealed that there is significant

Ourongoing analyses are currently being used to inform design decisions. The Studio 2.0 progressdescribed above provides a good example of this. Based on observations of student engagementduring the early versions of studio tasks, a group of faculty began meeting to develop

It is hypothesized that providing such a summary willbring additional coherence to the field, along with practical guidance on good instructiontechniques for identity development. Moreover, it is intended that this research contributes toASEE LEAD strategic goals in Design, as it outlines nine evidence-based practices that may beused in “...designing, implementing, and sustaining EL programs.” Moreover, these practicesmay be used to assess how well existing programs support identity development.DefinitionsWithin the field, the use of the words leader and leadership have not yet coalesced around clear,consistent patterns of usage (see [4] for one example of this ambiguity) [20].

We should be able toaccomplish preparing our graduates for a career in industry if every professor will endeavor toincorporate these industry practices into their courses as they go along. As globalization andrapid technology innovations continue to rise, financial constraints continue to make itincreasingly difficult for colleges and universities to provide all the resources needed cope oraddress these changes and impart the necessary competency.One approach that is being used to address some of these problems is the Problem-based learning(PBL).

In Out of Poverty, Polak details how agrassroots, entrepreneurial approach can help people out of poverty by focusing efforts onunexploited market opportunities through the development of innovative, low-cost tools. Several“win-win” examples are given where locally produced and distributed devices (which providethe builders and distributers an income) allow the purchasers to earn more money through theirown efforts. These examples illustrate to students the impact of engineering solutions in global,societal, environmental, and economic contexts, as called for in ABET EAC Criterion 3h.Finally, there is an intangible asset when working on problems that affect those in need, which isperhaps best expressed through a

allows a gateway to improved learning andbroadening participation as engaging in SoTL requires faculty to think more critically as they adoptand disseminate research-based practices. However, the vast majority of disciplinary engineeringPhD programs (e.g., non-Engineering Education programs) do not prepare graduates for teachingand/or disseminating best teaching practices through the scholarship of teaching and learning(SoTL) [7]. As a result, the limited teaching preparedness of new college and universityengineering educators has the potential to turn students off from engineering [8], which directlyimpacts retention and completion rates [9].Several factors potentially contribute to this problem.

The role of engineers in all of this is critical; projections indicate that this rolewill evolve over the next few years to run and manage the huge industrial plants being built, toacquire and retain the new technologies being implemented, and to have enough innovations tocreate opportunities in a dynamic and changing economy.

Accordingly, education 4.0 is aboutpreparing students to thrive in a transformative world by exhibiting creativity, innovation, arange of problem-solving skills, people management; being able to coordinate with other people,negotiation and reasoning flexibility [e.g., 6; 7]. High employability for graduates includecreativity, originality and initiative, a range of thinking skills, innovation and originality,technology design and programming, system analysis and evaluation, and judgement anddecision making [e.g., 5; 8; 9; 10]. Students who possess these skills have behaviors that arecharacterized by a pursuit of academic goals despite any setbacks through active learning andlearning
