The continued success of the organization requires students to overcomethe difficulty of year-to-year continuity, develop skills to undertake complex problems, and workin an unfamiliar culture to implement projects. To address these challenges, students engagefaculty advisors, professionals (both in the US and Kenya), their peers, and Kenyan beneficiariesto generate solutions collectively. While in the United

As professional skills can be incorporated into in an existing course at many levels, and ways,we conducted through literature survey to identify these different ways. As each institutiondevelops their own set of mechanisms, we did not simply adopt another’s mechanism butdeveloped our own implementations of instruction delivery and assessment tools based on ourown programs need. In the initial draft we identify the instruction delivery methods and studentassignments to incorporate different ABET outcomes: semester long group project, series of oralpresentations, enterprise architecture and project management case research, writing technicalreport, conducting research and discussion on ethics and

In recent years researchers have looked at comparisonsof novice and expert judgments. At least three categories of raters stand to provide valuableassessment data for engineering design education: self-evaluations conducted by students; peer-evaluations conducted by students enrolled in the same or similar courses; and adult ratingsconducted by raters with experience in the domain 17, 18.

On average, about a third of the allotted class time is spent on lecture. The remaining time is spent insome form of ‘hands-on’ learning activity that involves laboratory-type activities with a LEGO-DACTA kit ordesign/analysis work on a computer (such as working on engineering graphics problems, writing reports, creatingpresentations, participating in classroom discussions, performing engineering design work).

Students, operating in teams of three to five, also learn towork with their peers. The teams are given a Request for Proposals (RFP) and allowed toexercise creativity within the scope of the RFP. Students progress through the design process(concept, preliminary, and final phases) using both written and oral communication.
