However, they are morechallenging to quantify and assess, requiring a detailed rubric that aligns with the capstoneprojects’ objectives.Introduction:The mission of the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECEN) Program is to equip studentswith a robust foundation in engineering fundamentals, instill the highest standards of professionaland ethical behavior, and prepare them to meet the complex technical challenges of society. Theprogram’s educational objectives (PEO) [1] are directly related to the student outcomes (SO),which describe skills, knowledge, and behavior that our

of three-courses and anassociated Qualification Plan. The PFE courses serve as a means to inform and involve studentsin departmental and program activities. Having a sequence of courses that all EE students takeprovides an effective mechanism for getting the word out about innovations to changedepartmental culture to be more student oriented.The PFE course sequence aims to support the development of students’ identities as professionalengineers and to motivate them to persist in their degrees. Originally taken as optional electives,the PFE I–III courses became a required part of the core curriculum for EE majors Broadly, thePFE course sequence teaches ethical engineering principles, identifies areas of careeropportunities for students, and

After completing the course and the project, students should be able to: (1) design andimplement a solution to an open-ended engineering problem that involves both hardware andsoftware designs; (2) use simulation and measurement tools to devise a test and validation plan;(3) document and present detailed engineering design process of the project solution; (4)recognize and assess the ethical issues and societal impacts of the designs and solutions.4.
