rubrics with performance indicators that are being used in our Program. Together with the rest of the PIs, they represent significant leap toward improving our student outcomes assessment. Performance indicator for outcome C: To assess the ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraint as economic, environment, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability, the assessing faculty used to come up with learning score based on his or her “mental” picture regarding the students’ work in the classroom during the semester. Now under our new PI system, the score will be based on whether, and how well, the students  Work within realistic

these challenges highlight the need to better preparetoday’s engineers with the intuition, skills and tools they need to tackle these problems. CharlesVest, 9 former president of National Academy of Engineering, asserts that engineering studentsprepared for professional careers in the year 2020 and beyond, “must be excited by their freshman year; must have an understanding of what engineers actually do; must write and communicate well; must appreciate and draw on the richness of American diversity; must think clearly about ethics and social responsibility; must be adept at product development and high-quality manufacturing; must know how to merge the physical, life, and information sciences when working at

During the first two semesters data was collected under the control condition for allthe courses, while the last two semesters data was collected under the treatment condition. Theundergraduate courses included Project Management, Engineering Ethics, Introduction toEngineering Management and the graduate course included Project Management and SystemsAnalysis. All courses have a team project that accounts for at least 45% of the total course grade.The students in the treatment condition received an in-class 30-minute training module on theuse of the tool and they were also given access to a training video

Quarter SMCCBecause the ME capstone course was the largest capstone course of the 3 participatingdepartments, we chose to assess the merit of the college of engineering’s multidisciplinarySMCC approach by comparing it to single team ME capstone projects. All data collected wasfrom the first quarter of a three quarter long project. Table 3 shows the three instruments used toassess our SMCC approach. This study involved research conducted in an established,commonly accepted educational setting specifically for understanding the effectiveness ofinstructional techniques, and thus was not subjected to an ethics board for approval as per theuniversity exemption policy.Instrument 1 consisted of two close ended questions added to the end-of-quarter

At the same time, new dimensions of safety and ethical,social and environmental responsibility must be considered as nanotechnology based productsbecome more common. There is a need to create the next generation of competitive workforcewhich understands and appreciates the potential of nanotechnology. One consequence of therecognition of this need is the inclusion of Nanotechnology in undergraduate education. Severalacademic institutions not only offer introductory courses in nanotechnology in theirundergraduate programs but some, such as Lawrence Technological University, are taking thelead in creating minors and concentration in this field. The goal of these programs is to not onlyspark an interest
