types on each team. One purpose of the course is to foster smoothly running teams bydeveloping trust between team members. One day, we would like to use this or similar courses toassess the true abilities of our students to work in diverse teams.Assessment of Outcomes in Senior Capstone DesignAs determined by the departmental assessment committee, the SOs to be assessed through SYEN4385 and SYEN 4386 are as follows: (c) An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability. (d) An ability to function on multidisciplinary teams. (f) An understanding of professional and

three reasons identified in the literature to include SE principles in theundergraduate engineering curriculum:  in support of ABET student outcomes1,  to improve and inform capstone project development and design methods7, and  to address industry demand for SE knowledge8-10From an ABET perspective, Criterion 3 STUDENT OUTCOMES states that ABET accreditedengineering programs should demonstrate that program graduates have: (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability (e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems, (k) an ability
