capstone design projects are playing anincreasingly important role in meeting the educational objectives of Civil & EnvironmentalEngineering degrees. In recent years both the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) andthe Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) have placed a focus on thedevelopment of management, leadership and general business skills. Capstone programs offer anideal environment that provides a synthesis of the fundamental technical engineering skills indeveloping a culminating design while creating an opportunity to focus on all of the professionalpractice skills necessary for students to become future leaders in their field.Recognizing the opportunity to enhance development of these complimentary

Page 24.618.4 Figure 2 Course Context MapEngaging stakeholders in the process of conceptual course design was necessary for a numberof reasons: to ensure the course achieved the design objectives, to ensure that there was buy-in across the four year engineering degree program, to fully understanding the potentials andconstraints of the environment, to explore and establish collaborations and to ensure thatexpertise was engaged where necessary. Stakeholders included: The University ofQueensland’s technology and

Therefore, it is theintent of the author to develop and validate an instrument to measure student learning duringdesign projects. This paper will present the results of a pilot study at Dalhousie University inHalifax, Nova Scotia that employed the first iteration of the assessment tool and suggestnecessary revisions to the instrument.Literature ReviewThrough design projects, students learn how to interact in teams, communicate more effectivelythrough speech and text, complete engineering analyses, make drawings, conceive, build, andtest ideas, and additional intangible lessons.

criteria.Student learning outcome k focuses on the ability of students to use specialized engineeringhardware and software tools in classroom work guided by the instructor, in assignments withouthelp of the instructor, and in design projects where students make an appropriate choice of thetool.Both of these outcomes can be partially evaluated using data from solid modeling courses2. Toassess and measure our students’ performance for the two outcomes, our mechanical engineeringand mechanical engineering technology programs use student data from two classes where solidmodeling is the primary course component. The first class, “Computer Aided Design andIntegrated Manufacturing CAD/CAM/CIM” is taught at the sophomore level and uses the NX(formerly Unigraphics

not only focuses on the noveltyand usefulness of a product, but also morality and ethicality [8]. In addition, every field tends todefine creativity differently as it relates to that field, but most people view creativity as highlyvaluable [9].Creativity in Engineering. Creativity is increasingly essential to engineering. It is listed as thethird most important skill for an engineer to have [10]. The core of engineering is to solve real-world problems. In order to do this, engineers have to apply scientific principles in creative waysto develop effective and efficient solutions [11]. The problems we face today are becoming morecomplex as technology advances, therefore the solutions to these problems are required to bemore creative [12, 13

Arabian students working on team projects in engineering/ technology courses at a U.S. institution found “encompassing effects of language deficiencies,lack of understanding of the local culture, difficulties adjusting to a mixed gender environment,neo-racism, and incompatibilities in the held values” [24].Cultural differences are likely to impact how students work in teams, including their preferencesand style. Two widely used cultural comparison systems are Hofstede’s [25] and the GlobalLeadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE) system [26]. Hofstededeveloped a 6-dimension system to characterize national culture on a 0 to 100 scale [25], whilethe GLOBE project has 9 dimensions on a 1 to 7 scale [26]. The GLOBE system

Students’capability of working effectively in engineering teams is cognizant among employers in industrywho seek to hire new talent into their organizations [2]–[4]. One of the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) student outcome criteria is to have the ability to functioneffectively in high performing teams. This requires universities to better prepare students withteamwork skills and to incorporate teamwork as an important part of engineering curriculum [5]In today’s world of engineering, companies are shifting towards working in larger team sizes dueto the complexity of solving engineering problems [6]–[8].
