responsibility, develop and implement complex systems,communicate and function within multidisciplinary groups, and understand impacts of theirdesigns in different societal and environmental contexts.Achieving these outcomes requires a pedagogy that not only holistically broadens non-technicalaspects of engineering design, but provides a conducive learning environment that is responsiveto the changing professional industry landscape. At our University, we have endeavored tofacilitate innovation and professional efficacy by closely tying our capstone course with currentindustry practice. The course begins with as a traditional lecture course in parallel with theproblem-based learning format during the first five weeks to rapidly prepare learners for

Most projects have external sponsors - typically a government agency thatappoints a senior engineer to serve as the customer. These customers provide project ideas, inputon scope and requirements, and financial support for equipment and travel.We have formulated an iterative “agile-waterfall” design process combining the traditional“waterfall” design practice found in engineering with agile methodology common to softwaredesign [8], [9]. This process encourages rapid prototyping and short term goal-setting (through aseries of “sprints”) and requires our students to

The design isunderpinned by Merrill’s First Principle of Instruction [6] which suggests the following fivephases for instructional design:1) Task centered: learning is promoted when learners are engaged in solving real-world problems,2) Activation: learning is promoted when existing knowledge is activated as a foundation for new knowledge,3) Demonstration: learning is promoted when the new knowledge is demonstrated to the learner,4) Application: learning is promoted when new knowledge is applied by the learner, and5) Integration: learning is

practices. Human capital analyses are problematic in explaining women’s location in the workforce and perpetuate the deficit model of gender inequality. (p. 156-157)Taken together, these three sets of critics point out major methodological flaws in using pipelineas a metaphor for structuring research studies: • Most studies do not articulate what counts as a “successful” scientific or engineering career. Must a person remain in the same profession for her entire working life for her to be considered “in” the pool? Or might there be more “kinds” of scientific-related careers that should “count” than that of bench scientist or design engineer?18 • Assuming that “gender effects” on career choices can be studied

The types of responsesvaried, but many recurring themes emerged, including math or science interest or ability,enjoyment of problem solving, a desire to impact the world in a positive way, preparation foranother professional field, among others. Frequency counts were tabulated, and compared toretention numbers as these students are now seniors. Response frequencies were also comparedby gender and discipline, indicating that women were more likely to cite “better world” and menwere more likely to cite “innovative / creative, how things work, or build things” as motivationsfor studying engineering.

The projects are all centered on different realcivil engineering systems and present a discussion of how to create a simple model for thatsystem. Particular emphasis is paid to the assumptions made in the modeling process.MATLAB is then used as the framework within which the numerical solution will be achieved.The students are given template MATLAB scripts that must be customized to their particularproblem. A co-requisite for this course is a numerical methods coursed where MATLAB is alsoused, exposing our students to the necessary skills to use this tool. The student teams arerequired to evaluate
