Both these interventions produce quantitativedata about student behavior, such as timeliness, which we used to predict subsequent studentperformance. A timeliness measure, obtainable as early as within 5 weeks of the semester, is cor-related (r = 0.4, p < 0.001) with a cumulative score computed at the midpoint of the semester.This facilitates the early identification of at-risk students, and could avert further performanceproblems in the semester. The interventions and data-driven techniques described in this paper are easy to administer andscalable to large class sizes.Key words: assessment, educational innovations, instructional design.SUMMER 2020 VOLUME 8 ISSUE 2

paper can be used by Universities to focus their recruiting practices.Background:About a decade ago, leadership within the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and AppliedScience (RCEAS) at Lehigh University recognized an emerging trend amongst our graduatingengineering seniors. A number of these students expressed interest in graduate school, throughwhich they could obtain more in-depth technical knowledge within their field of study, garnerhigher starting salaries, and launch advanced tracks to leadership positions within the industry.While these individuals acknowledged the value of a graduate engineering degree, many of thesestudents were deterred by the research project with thesis requirement of the traditional Master ofScience degree

Not only must the education be placed on an expanding base of sound learning; it mustalso produce substantive communication among engineers, other professionals, and the servicepopulation in all of its complexity.The efforts at updating the Civil Engineering (CE) Body of Knowledge (BOK)iii required for li-censure as a professional engineer, have embraced sustainability as a fundamental outcome. Thisimplies that every civil engineer must have mastered this minimum BOK acquired through dem-onstrated and approved channels prior to licensure

Working with other people and just seeing where those people are – helping other people and explaining – working in a group really helps…It’s like, “Well, if they can get this then I think I can get it too.” And definitely having other people explain sometimes really helps because they might have a different way of going about it than the book and [the professor] have gone about it, and it’s like, “Oh, gosh, that makes a lot of sense.”Shift in perception of mastering material.

Both the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) have supported a B.S. inEngineering as an FPD, indicating also the importance of life-long learning and that manyengineers seek additional formal education.Since graduate programs in engineering are very well established, it is natural that these havebeen recommended as FPD14, 16, 18, 20.

natural pedagogy of choice for capstone courses. Since most students recognize the need tomanage their capstone project well, they are internally motivated to learn the PM material inorder to reduce the difficulty of their capstone projects. Considering the need to apply projectmanagement skills to effectively master them, and the natural correlation between PM anddesign skills, it seems that PBL is also the natural choice for teaching PM material. However,the use of PBL to teach PM is significantly less documented than using PBL to teach design.Course HistoriesThere are three EE courses at SDSU related to the senior design sequence: EE422 EngineeringEconomics and Project Management, EE464 Senior Design I, and EE465 Senior Design II.EE464 Senior
