Instead of encouraging the continued development andassessment of novel interventions designed to impact the sophomore year, our study inquires intothe current state of sophomore engineering, so that we can be informed when making andadvocating for changes, or trying to ‘revolutionize engineering departments’ in line with fundingopportunities.

Professionalcompetency is best defined by the ability to communicate and work in diverse teams effectively [6]. Colleges are answering the need for global engineers by offering its students various international experiences throughinternships, projects, study abroad and academic exchange, collaborative research projects, service learning projects abroad,and graduate-level international programs [9], [10].

When using argumentation in a classroom environment, the instructor plays animportant role by helping the student understand theories and principles, but the instructor is notthe authority to explaining why a principle makes sense for solving a problem. Table 2 providesexamples of the appropriate questions and actions that teachers can use to develop the student’scognitive skills via argumentation. Through the lens of engineering practice, an argumentation-based framework (Table 1) is used to support the rational decisions that design teams make whenanalyzing, deliberating and compromising on the solution to an engineering problem (Jin andGeslin, 2009

These criteria have evolved over time. In part, in response toindustry’s dissatisfaction with the professional skills of graduates—such as skills incommunication and navigating corporate and societal contexts—ABET transitioned tooutcomes-based education and introduced 11 “a–k” outcomes spanning technical andprofessional skills [12].

A national survey ofcapstone design courses that included faculty beliefs and teaching practices by Pembridge andParetti showed that teamwork, as a separate topic from project management, were rarely in thetop five topics covered in the course [18]. Much attention in literature has been focused aroundhow to form teams [19-23] and using peer-evaluation to improving teamwork skills [24, 25] butthere are still many open-ended questions relating to the best way to manage and mentor teams[15].One major reason for benchmarking teaming experiences currently in the curriculum is to betterunderstand where students are exposed to teams throughout a curriculum.

Entrepreneurial Idea Pitch and Research Proposal Competitions often determine theaward of cash prizes [ e.g. $100,000 at MIT] and scarce resources. The recipients of these awards aredetermined by judging processes. These judging processes are rarely audited or evaluated as to quality orconsistency. We contend that judging processes will be more fair and perceived as less subjective with a highlevel of consensus between judges [interrater agreement], especially for those ranked as best. Our researchcalculates aWG for idea pitch competitions, identifies interventions that improved interrater agreement over timeincluding external factors that may support higher quality judging processes.

For example: “I know Engineering Design was probably a really good class. I think I learned a lot from that class. Being creative – we had to do a lot of brainstorming. We learned different methods… which helps us to brainstorm ideas and then come up with even more ideas based on our first ideas. But anyways, we also learned different ways to narrow down ideas, choose the best one in the situation… I'd say just working on the design projects gives us practice at being creative and also working as a team and being creative with a
