Phase I provides some preliminary evidence that our initialassumption about the impact of the ISD program on engineering graduates may be correct. Inthe second phase of our assessment program we will perform a more detailed assessment toquantify this assumption.IntroductionIn today’s global economy, there is a large need for engineers to understand how to communicateand operate with foreign customers and co-workers. International education opportunities helpbreak down cultural barriers and provide engineers with the experience and knowledge to designunique solutions to innovate solutions in a global setting.

Additionally, due to limited opportunities for group interactions during summerresearch and the number of faculty advising individual students, students may lack a researchcommunity for interaction and support.To develop a set of best practices for undergraduate research at our institution and support bothstudent and faculty development, we initiated an Undergraduate Research Community (URC). Fortwo summers, we offered workshops aimed at developing general research skills (reading andinterpreting the literature, abstract writing, visualizing data, preparing posters, and applying tograduate school), along with social activities and opportunities for informal presentations.This paper will discuss the

In order to evaluate the best systemconcept, the team used a decision analysis matrix. From these steps, each team emerged with aclear system design concept to pursue. At this point, each team performed a cost analysis,prepared a project plan. Each team prepared a 20-minute oral presentation of their project planand submitted a written report (Milestone 2). The next step was to develop a scale model or prototype to evaluate the system concept.Teams conducted design reviews to evaluate the safety, environmental impacts, reliability, lifecycle issues, maintainability, durability, manufacturability and cost of their design

The senior design project can serve as an excellent culminating experience in theprogram of study when it focuses on research and design projects that have practical value toconsumers or to industry. For the ET program at our university, the senior design course is ayear-long educational journey (three quarters) that takes an idea generated by a student or anindustrial sponsor and culminates in a product or project.

Generic engineeringcompetencies in this context are defined as attributes, competencies, or skills that are importantto graduates across all engineering disciplines. Communication and social skills are examples [3-4], but more broadly, the identified inadequacies represent gaps in project management andleadership skills needed to create and get buy-in for a community vision [5].Our work-in-progress explores how engineers develop awareness

The rest of the materials consisted of PVC pipe and hardware fittings whichwere purchased at a local hardware store. Since the group was uncertain of the type of sand that could be obtained in Uganda, theyinvestigated the impact of different sands on filter performance. They looked for types of sandthat might be commonly available for different construction needs, and thus would be availablein the developing world.

A numberof these challenges are specifically addressed as grand challenges of the 21st century such asensuring a sustainable supply of food, water, and energy to underdeveloped areas, curbingclimate change while simultaneously adapting to its impacts, eliminating waste and waste-creating practices, and creating
