Marie SchmiedekampDr. Peter J. Shull, Pennsylvania State University, Altoona Campus Dr. Peter J. Shull is an associate professor of engineering at Penn State University. He received his under- graduate degree from Bucknell University in mechanical engineering and his graduate degrees from The Johns Hopkins University in engineering science. Dr. Shull’s research has two main foci—nondestructive evaluation methods as applied to process control (NDE) and pedagogical methodology. Dr. Shull’s peda- gogical efforts include meta-cognitive strategy learning to improve student academic success, an interest in women’s issues within the engineering environment, integrated, experiential techniques to improve engineering students

respective departmental capstone course. Communication andscheduling between the teams were the biggest challenges in this model. In an effort to improvemultidisciplinary design, faculty from 3 engineering departments at UCSB met over the courseof an academic quarter to discuss a more integrated multidisciplinary capstone design programfor seniors. One complicating factor was departmental pressure to maintain the discipline-specific integrity of the engineering experience throughout the student body. Anothercomplicating factor included the disparity between course units and timelines created by eachdiscipline. In response to these challenges, we have created a supplementary multidisciplinarycapstone course (SMCC) to be coupled to the existing

Students expressed that theirundergraduate and graduate programs overly emphasized technical skills while neglectingprofessional development, communication skills, and ethics training. We found that thesecurricular priorities affected students’ perception of the culture of academic engineeringdepartments and, subsequently, shaped their own professional values and understanding ofengineers’ duty to society.Despite a handful of students viewing ethics as an unnecessary distraction to their curriculum,the majority expressed a desire for more expansive professional and ethics training

The point of the individual discussion was not to delve too deeply into a particulardisaster or individual ethical decision, necessitating a decision tree or other analyticalformalisms. Rather, the purpose of each debate was to extend the thinking of the students andinfuse an ethical framework from which to view historical and current events with theexpectation that this approach would follow the students to more focused case studies that theywould see in the latter part of the engineering curriculum.

To apply the above principles effectively,students (especially the Gen-Z students) need to have a skill set in understanding the role of engineeringinnovations in a globalized society with an attitude of leadership to serve society [16], which was themotivation behind this class.

An early study by Good [14] indicated that freshmenneeded networking with upperclassmen to ease the transition from high school to university.Clark et al. [15] attributed peer relationships as a key factor in the success of student satisfaction,integration and retention in higher education. Peer mentoring can build a community of supportfor the mentee (i.e., freshmen) while enhancing the teamwork, instruction and communicationskills of the mentor (i.e., senior) [10]. When mentoring is from someone that is close in age andposition, it can also provide encouragement and social support [11].

Afterstudents in the experiment group completed two projects with additional feedback on their testcases, they completed a final project without the additional feedback. Despite not receivingadditional feedback, their test cases were of higher quality, exposing on average 5% more buggysolutions than students from the control group. We found this difference to be statisticallysignificant after controlling for GPA and whether students worked alone or with a partner.2 IntroductionTesting is an integral part of software development that
