aspects of the project as compared to the first and second generationprojects and other typical capstone projects. Page 24.287.5Senior Design ProjectsNearly all of the latest ABET accreditation student outcomes (Criterion 3) for engineeringprograms are related to senior design projects.28 These include: (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical
participants for professional success in the engineering field.Current ProgramOur current program consists of three seminars--Modern Teaching Techniques, AdvancedTeaching Techniques, and the Academic Profession--together with a 10-hour mentored teachingexperience. Participants also have the option of completing additional mentoring hours andearning a PFF certificate from the associated university-level PFF program. Since most of ourPh.D. students do little teaching during their time at UC, the program was designed to providebasic skills for organizing class materials, delivering content, and evaluating students, exposureto active learning techniques, discussion of engineering-related topics such as project and teammanagement, ethics in engineering
Young UniversityGregg M. Warnick, Brigham Young University Gregg M. Warnick is the External Relations and Intern Coordinator for the Mechanical Engineering de- partment in the Ira A. Fulton College of Engineering and Technology at BYU. He works directly with industry each year to recruit more than 30 funded Capstone projects and provides project management, team development, and coaching support to each of these project teams and faculty coaches. In ad- dition, he continues to focus on increasing international project opportunities for students and faculty. His research and teaching interests include globalization, project management, leadership, ethics, and manufacturing processes. Prior to joining BYU, Gregg worked

These measures were based in our Academic Pathways Study16-18 Page 23.930.10and Engineering Pathways Study work43. In a question adapted from the NSF

Students and faculty not covered by non-disclosures and who are not privy to the details will be naturally curious and in some cases resentful. The very real danger is inadvertent disclosure to colleagues who have no imposed restrictions and may even have their own industrial partners but with less restrictive agreements. Fortunately, after some instruction, the students only initiate some good natured ribbing. 5. A Super-Secret project provides the course instructor with a unique opportunity to discuss and demonstrate common professional ethical and
construction standards and corresponding safety 7 practices. Identify potential hazards and develop procedures to mitigate them. 6 Create a construction project safety management plan. 5 Understand accident investigation, reporting and record keeping processes. 5 Understand the importance, costs, and history of safety in the construction 3 industry. Communicate and promote safety strategies. 3 Understand relationship between ethics and job safety. 2Additional knowledge areas mentioned by at least one course syllabus included analysis ofincident statistics, analyzing
completed after the completion of the internship.The Strengths Awareness Matrix10 was developed to evaluate the change in how students per-ceived their personal strength characteristics. This assessment allows students to describe theirstrengths with phrases or adjectives and was then coded into 23 different categories for evalua-tion. The categories were based upon the most common responses received from the students.These categories were then separated into five groups that included work ethic, communication,personality, time management, trust and physical qualities. The data evaluation indicated themost notable areas of improvement measured were verbal communication skills and an aware-ness of their abilities to interact with individuals.To help

Engineer of 2020,13 we are developing a new BS degree program that includes a broad-based curriculum of engineering design, project management, and innovation, along with business, communication, ethics, and social sciences.14 For optimal preparation for professional engineering practice, it is recommended that this foundation be followed by post-graduate study, via a professional Master’s degree program, in a specific discipline or concentration. Our first professional Master’s degree program is in Systems Engineering. Incorporation of Clinical Experiences into Program Learning Outcomes The Systems Engineering program requires a 3 credit hour mandatory practicum in which students are hired full-time by partner
student teams were analyzed: final project reports and the mitigation plan assignment. Thereports contained technical and non-technical aspects of the projects. The technical aspect of thereports included the design process, testing procedures, and results of the project. The non-technical aspect of the report consisted of team roles, socio-ethical implications of the project,and an explicit documentation of how the project was affected by COVID-19. The teams werealso asked to submit a COVID-19 mitigation plan assignment in the beginning of Spring quarter,which detailed how the project and team structure would change during the quarter and whetherthe teams needed help accessing resources as they transitioned to a remote setting.Project report and
