The interviews were conducted between Fall 2016 and Fall 2017. Thus, the changes tothe ABET criteria were under consideration during this period and were approved in October2017. The revised criteria went into effect during the 2019-2020 cycle. The broad aim of theinterviews was to understand the participants’ practices and perspectives related to ethics,including the influences that shaped their teaching. Examples of interview questions

This study investigated how team multidisciplinary (denoted“disciplinary diversity” of the design team) affects the communication strategies employed bysenior-level engineering design students at a large, public university.MethodsContext and Data Collection. This study was conducted on transcripts of student presentationsgiven for the Fall 2019 Senior Design Showcase at a large R1 university in the Mid-Atlantic UnitedStates. The Senior Design Showcase projects were scoped to solve real-world engineeringproblems experienced by industry sponsors.

Entrepreneurial mindset can provide students withthe necessary knowledge and skills that will help them in their professional careers including theability to recognize opportunity, manage ambiguity, and persist through failure. To measureundergraduate students’ knowledge and perception of entrepreneurial mindset, a concept mapstudy was performed at a mid-size Atlantic University.
