In addition, a small numberof students from other majors enter the program each semester to take part in specific projects tomeet either technical elective or capstone requirements in their chosen degree program. Each ofthe three departments involved in the capstone program is looking for students to walk awayfrom the program with 1. a significant capstone project experience, 2. professional practice and ethics training, and 3. knowledge of discipline specific design tools and techniques.A leadership committee, supported by faculty advisors, oversee the Capstone program to ensurethese key

that has been taught by the capstone engineering professors. Three years ago, wedecided to bring in outside experts to lecture on topics such as project management, ethics andstandards to augment the training for our capstone students. The following year we decided toextend this concept and turned to experts trained in the field of business communications tobetter train students in how to effectively operate as a team.This paper describes an ongoing pilot project to integrate professional training on teamdynamics, team conflict and team leadership into our existing engineering capstone curriculum.Business Communications professors from the School of Management developed curriculum andpresented to engineering students in the Biomedical and

? Students’ LessonsLearned Documents were used to investigate this. Students were asked to state opinions abouteach major document they worked on and to discuss any lessons they learned that they plan tocarry into the future. They were also asked to comment on the quality of the course,effectiveness of advisors, and work ethic of teammates. Responses were compared between2013, during which EE422 and EE464 were only loosely tied together, and 2014-2015, afterEE422 material was formally connected with EE464 and continued to be applied in EE465. Thefeedback implies that after rigorous application of PM material throughout the entire project wasrequired student appreciation for the material improved and intra-team conflicts were morereliably resolved

Engineering and in Training EngineersExploring the requirements of what is to be designed is central to ill-structured problems; oftenthere are conflicts not just about how to solve a problem, but rather what problem to solve. Thislatter conflict may not arise often enough in engineering education. Students are accustomed tohomework and projects that are clearly defined, or defined without consideration of externalstakeholders.Engineers need to know how to explore the constraints provided by technical, economic,business, political, social, and ethical issues involved, including who knows these constraints,and for whom they are constraints. In the same manner, there is the nature of identifying theproblem that the devices, components, subsystems

environment. Thechoice of a nuclear engineering project required students to utilize knowledge in mechanicalengineering but also forced them to learn more in areas such as material selection as applied tonuclear facilities. They were also required to make use of codes and standards that they had notpreviously used in order to achieve adequate safety factors for their design. The project havingindustry involvement and requiring more stringent safety standards due it being in nuclearengineering also made students more aware of the ethical implications of their design practice.A student survey was conducted to evaluate the impact on student learning, as related to theinterdisciplinary aspect of the project. The questions are shown in Table 1.Table 1

Academy of Engineering (NAE) described the qualities of the Engineer of2020 (The engineer of 2020: Visions of engineering in the new century, 2004). The NAEhighlighted the following attributes as essential for an Engineer of 2020: strong analytical skills,practical ingenuity, creativity, communication, business and management knowledge, leadership,high ethical standards and professionalism, dynamism, agility, resilience, flexibility, and thehabit of lifelong learning. While developing these qualities may seem a lofty feat to accomplish,these benchmarks for success in engineering introduced the need to generate alternative teachingenvironments in education that foster opportunities for a student-engineer to acquire this diverseskill set (Zabudsky

strategies, researchers can distinguish various design engagements and also designer'spriority during the problem definition phase [8]. Table 1 presents the definition of each designphase and the correspondent design activities, where all refer to the Dym and Little’s framework[15]. Most of the time, there is more than one person involved in a design project, and eachwill assume or be assigned to at least one role [25]. Working as a team is not an easy task; italways adds complexity to the design process. The configuration of the team members’ abilitiesand work ethics will affect the design delivery time and quality [26]. Consequently, managingteam members is an integral part of most design projects.
