manufacturing. The challenge for MFS online lies in successfullyreproducing the learning experiences that arise during face-to-face teamwork activities andinteractive projects. This means moving the MFS online involves creating online equivalents forsignificant interactive team work and activities ranging from laboratory experiments on differentmanufacturing processes, team-based product design with physical products/in softwareplatforms and their assessment to simulating manufacturing system and supply chain operations.To help students master the complex technical concepts and skills and to give them a foundationin creativity and teamwork, these interactive aspects of the coursework are critical.

Service Learning Experiences are distinguished by being mutually beneficial for bothstudent and community. Service learning is growing rapidly and is considered a part ofexperiential education by its very nature of learning, performing a job within the community,and serious reflection by the student. Service learning involves solving some of society'sissues; such as, homelessness, poverty, lack of quality education, pollution, etc. One of thegoals of service learning is to help students become aware of these issues

Locally developed comprehensive exams or nationally standardized exams (FE Exam or Major Field Test).  Capstone or senior-level projects provide evidence of how well students integrate and apply principles, concepts, and abilities into a culminating project. They are evaluated by faculty and/or external review teams.

sustainability is not neglected by simply being part of a large list of choices. • Lowered the threshold on project management. The first proposed CEPC required students to “apply principles of project management” which would have met the level specified by the BOK2. The CEPCTC considered that examples of project management opportunities in the undergraduate program include design teams for course assignments, capstone design projects, and undergraduate research. These opportunities exist in all of the sub-disciplines of civil engineering. The comments generated from constituents and the survey of the department heads demonstrated that many thought a course in project management would be required and

that wouldplace fewer burdens on educators, while helping engineering students take the time to understandthe lessons that are afforded by engineering courses through reflective activities.To address these issues, a few researchers in engineering education have successfully designedor developed new methods and tools to support student reflection. For example, Chen et al.combined the use of weblogs and wikis with the creation of portfolios (Folio Thinking) tosupport learning and reflection in an introductory freshman seminar on design engineering atStanford University. Chen et al. indicate that a challenge in project-based design courses is thatstudents “see what they have produced but they do not see what they have learned.” They reportthat
