reform efforts require effectivemethods for assessing student sustainable design abilities. One approach for both stimulatingstudent learning and facilitating assessment is the use of rubrics. Rubrics can be used byinstructors to evaluate the quality of student work, but can also be used prior to assignments tohelp students learn about different dimensions of sustainability, establish expectations forsustainable design, and self-assess how well principles were applied to design projects.The goal of this project is to develop and validate a sustainable design rubric that can be easilyadapted and applied across engineering disciplines or for interdisciplinary problem-solving. Asustainable design rubric was previously developed based on the Nine

Students benefitfrom seeing the relevance of their academic work to real world problems, exposure to industryprofessionals and employment opportunities, and exposure to equipment the institution does nothave. The industry benefits from access to the pipeline of future employees and great marketing.This paper presents how one university develops and uses industry

Effectivecommunication skills are inherent to all the skills in the professional domain (BOK 7, ABET g).These skills are commonly addressed in engineering programs in separate courses and/or an end-of-program team project design course, i.e., capstone course. However, simply having arequisite capstone course with these skills included does not guarantee successful developmentof these skills, and potentially a negative experience could be detrimental in an individual’sprofessional development. Many programs recognize this challenge and try to address thedevelopment of these skills through passive knowledge infusion within the capstone course.Several techniques commonly used to provide information to the students include lectures by

In addition, students’ ability to evaluate the quality of the verticalalignment generated with the driving simulator increased significantly after they completed thatpart of the highway design project. As a result, including a driving simulator as a virtual realitytool for analyzing the quality of highway design can improve the way students perceive andengage in the highway design tasks. This was especially useful since the target students were partof mandatory courses not directly related to their major. Students’ suggestions for expanding theuse of the driving simulator to other parts of the course complemented the above findings.MotivationThe new generation of students identified
