DESIGN COURSES FOR DEVELOPMENT AND ASSESSMENT OF PROFESSIONAL SKILLSIntroductionIn addition to completing a challenging technical curriculum, engineering graduates mustdemonstrate teamwork, communication, and other professional skills including professional andethical responsibility, life-long learning, and understanding the impact of engineering solutionsin a global and societal context. Unless these outcomes are integrated into students' conceptionsof being a "successful engineer" (getting a job and advancing their career), they will be under-valued and under-developed. This project demonstrates the use of industry-modeled 360°performance reviews in a team-based capstone project to link professional skills with an

Industry has perceivednew BS engineering graduates as lacking design capability or creativity, as well as anappreciation for considering alternatives. Further, a 1995 ASME report ranked creative thinkingas 5th of 56 top desired “best practices” for new BS-level engineers as seen by industry andacademe.12 In the past several years, universities have responded to these challenges by addingmore design content and introducing more open-ended design problems into their engineeringcurricula. Articles discussing the guarded success of these initiatives have appeared in journals.Yet the need to increase the creative potential of graduates still persists. 13 In fact

Their sophomoreyear, the teams develop a research proposal based on an approved research question and performa literature review. In the third year, students are encouraged to study abroad and continue toperform research on their approved topic.

What instructor strategies help to create an interdisciplinary environment that facilitates quick formation of cohesive teams? 2. How do self-organized and self-managed teaming impact individuals’ engagement in teaming and design?The results of this research describe pedagogical approaches that can be used to help expediteand facilitate team formation and improve collaborative practices

There wasnot a clear indication of what specifically made the most impact. However, it is clear that humaninteraction with their teammates, mentors, community partner(s), etc. and reflection writing helpthem to articulate some level of empathy.
