, projectmanagement, team skills, oral and written communication, prototyping and testing, andprofessional ethics. All these professional skills were heavily linked to the capstone projects.Both courses required students to give presentations to their peer students and externalevaluators. These differences and similarities were also consistent with the national trend 3-5.III. New Capstone CourseDue to the economy conditions and financial situations starting in Fall 2008, our universitystarted to consolidate courses. Through the discussions in the Spring and Fall 2009 semesters,we decided to offer a consolidated capstone course starting Spring 2010 semester. We decided

The nanoengineering, entrepreneurship and ethics course then requires the students toapply these concepts as the students develop models and create their own process flows andgenerate their own models regarding nanoscale devices. Throughout this course sequence, basicphysics is applied and taught to the student in terms of the micro and nanoscale, including optics,mechanics, electronics, fluids and biology.Figure 9.

projected 17% STEM growth inemployment in next 10 years compared to 9.8% for non-STEM fields13. There are now morestrategic efforts in engineering to address society problems, liberal arts literacy, the “big ideas”,innovation and entrepreneurship, and interdisciplinary studies related to engineering (calledSTEAM by including the ARTS). Some large engineering schools in their strategic plans arenow including growth in these areas to impact society (e.g. Purdue, Iowa, Texas A & M).2.0 Unique Vision and Calling for SCU Liberal Art SchoolsA few sectors of the STEM market and associated salary may be weak and connected to weakSTEM skills, work ethic, and too many product engineer type graduates looking for high payingjobs but who are unprepared to

, production processes, concurrent engineering design, and detailed system description. Further it is essential to include a variety of realistic constraints, such as economic factors, safety, reliability, aesthetics, ethics and social impact.”1Senior design is an apprentice-like involvement and the highlight of the undergraduate engineeringexperience. Most projects are sponsored by local industries or motivated by the needs of thedepartment or a faculty member. Since 2003, UST has tried to offer at least one of its senior designprojects to consider the needs of material-resource poor people at the base of the economicpyramid. These projects often bring to life the ‘realistic constraints, such as economic factors,safety, reliability

) [17] are easily satisfied. Students developed skills and ability toapply knowledge from mathematics, physics, and engineering. They developed their ability todesign and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data. They designed newsetups and systems within constraints such as economic, health and safety, and ethical. Theygained an ability to identify, formulate, and solve scientific and engineering problems. Studentswere helped in their projects to better understand professional and ethical responsibilities. Theyhad different chances to present their work and hone their ability to communicate effectively.Moreover, their work on new topics helped them develop the ability to use techniques, skills, andmodern engineering

Page 12.747.7The first procedure in this section ensures the curriculum is reviewed annually for the subjectarea components required by ABET (math, science, and engineering topics, plus a generaleducation component).The second procedure in this section ensures that all graduates have a capstone experienceduring, and not before, the fourth year of the curriculum. It explicitly states that the capstonedesign experience incorporates engineering standards and realistic constraints that include mostof the following considerations: economic; environmental; sustainability; manufacturability;ethical; health and safety; social; and political. It also prescribes that means of assessmentinclude, but are not limited to: student design project notebooks

in May.Recruitment and RetentionEvery year, while this institute helps to recruit 1-2 students from the pool of 25-30 participantsfor the engineering and science programs, it also helps to support the few undergraduate studentsas mentoring counselors in summer as a form of retention and to improve their leadership,management and communication skills, and work ethics. The impact of instructing engineeringphysics at early stages on performance in the college is strong and could be systematized withexpanding such instruction to include additional engineering physics.Available details on the demographic statistics of STI from 2008 to 2016 are given below(except for 2010 for which year data is unavailable) in Table 1.Table 1: Demographic
