andprinciple into immediate use. Such project-based learning opportunities are commonlyemployed in senior design courses as a culminating experience but are typically heldindependently within each discrete discipline or department. While this simplifies theadministration of the courses, it foregoes the opportunity for multidisciplinary collaboration.Upon graduation and gaining employment, students are likely to find themselves on a projectteam that integrates people of varied engineering disciplines and educational backgrounds. Inrecognition of this, the accreditation bodies for engineering, construction management, andinterior design programs, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), theAmerican Council for Construction

“Ethical Dimensions of Technology” (ENGR 102) wasintroduced in fall 2007. ENGR 102 immediately became popular with our junior and seniorstudents, who were pleased to use an engineering-related course to help fill their university corerequirements. We feel that ENGR 102 had an immediate and sustained positive impact on theFE metric scores associated with ABET outcome (f), starting in academic year 2007. While our Page 23.1013.9department cannot take credit for this improvement, the results help to validate our confidence inthe FE metric associated with this ABET outcome.ConclusionsThe FE exam is an accepted and vital part of the assessment program

Yet, little is known about how the program supports students and how students learnthrough their research experiences. The extent to which the design of the REU programs haverelied upon existing studies has also been questioned by National Academies of Science,Engineering, and Medicine [2].
