applied and leveraged to enhance the capstone experience thatentails industry sponsored design and build style projects. The ability to comfortably interactwith professionals in an industrial environment, manage projects entailing interactions withother portions of the business outside of engineering such as purchasing, skilled trades,marketing, sales and others allows a wide variety of challenging projects to be considered for thecapstone design course. Frequently capstone projects are proposed by companies that currentlyhave one or more co-op students. If appropriate, the co-op student acts as the point of contactbetween the student team and the industry sponsor. This minimizes the amount ofmiscommunication and also allows faster turn-around

Twenty-Seven new andcontinuing students were recruited into horizontally and vertically integrated cohorts that will benurtured and developed in a Project Based Learning (PBL) community characterized byextensive faculty mentoring, fundamental and applied undergraduate research, hands-on designprojects, and industry engagement. Our horizontal integration method creates sub-cohorts withsame-year students from

Twenty-seven percent (n=12/45) of the respondentsspecifically referenced one or more of the three value-added program activities as a memorableexperience: Socials, Distinguished Speaker Series, or Symposium. The annual Symposium wasthe most frequently mentioned event. Of the remaining respondents, 24% (n=11/45) referencedthe relationship with their industry mentor as the most memorable experience; 44% (n = 20/45)referenced some aspect of their internship, primarily related to their assigned project; and 4%(2/45) had just begun their internship.

program with minimal prerequisites so as to enablesophomore-level engineering technology students to participate early in the internships, exploretheir majors, and undergo experiential learning in the world of practice in their chosendisciplines. The motivation for this project came from onsite internship industry interviews andthe department’s three industrial advisory boards, which strongly suggested that early,immersion-type industrial experiences would prepare students to become better learners. Thisconversion coincided with the strategic imperatives that stemmed from a university-wide secondyear STEM major retention effort. This latter effort culminated in a four-year NSF fundedproject, of which the early internships are a module. This paper

projects to those unfamiliar with them, as well as serving as the lead engineer onprojects.Two of five undergraduate subjects referred to a particular experience which discouraged themfrom continuing in the engineering field. One subject experienced a negative first workassignment which ties back to the importance of quality work assignments for engineeringstudents and the importance of feeling like part of the team. This subject mentioned that hergroup “set me up pretty poorly…with how it was run. So that was kind of discouraging because Icould not show up and no one would notice. So I hated that.” She mentioned that she overcameher negative feelings about the group by proactively seeking information from others in hergroup and learning all that
