However, there aremany decisions to make in developing a design project and for those who lack the resources thatare sometimes invested in capstone experiences, many limitations.

engineering and engineering technology, problem-based andproject-based learning are different. According to Lee [4], the focus of problem-based learning isthe problem solving and learning process, while the project outcome is the focus of project-basedlearning. Since project-based learning is commonly seen in senior students’ capstone designcourses, problem-based learning can be used as a prelude to project-based learning in priorcourses. In this way, students can develop the skills necessary to apply to project-based learningactivities.Gijbels et al. [5] state that assessments for problem-based learning can include collaborativeteamwork assessment, exams, reports, and self and peer assessment.

When compared to more tangible rewardofferings in a professional setting such as promotions, bonuses, and additional vacation time, thefact that contingent reward behaviors load quite strongly with the MLQ’s transformationalbehaviors is not surprising. This conceptual understanding of the leadership phenomenon,corroborated by early works in the theory indicate that this scale may be measuring leadershipbehaviors consistent with the experiences of student mechanical engineers in a capstone setting.Next, the passive-avoidant/laissez-faire scale developed departs from the current construct of theMLQ Form 5X but is consistent with

At the17 institutions surveyed, it would be beneficial for departments to see where their students saidthey were influenced and compare that to where they thought they were affecting student views.Departments could assess if the first-year or capstone projects were influencing the ethicaldevelopment that they expect. Possible single time interventions on ethical or professionalresponsibility are not enough to provide lasting impressions on students such that they wouldhighlight that course years later. This could be an impetus to change such approaches to ethicseducation. More broadly, this work provides a useful approach

Tutoring sessions, field trips, and research projects have been introduced to theundergraduate engineering student's curriculum ostensibly to increase engagement.
