optimization, trade-off analysis, and failure mode analysis between the two points ofdata collection. Homework assignments consisted of developing and assessing proof-of-conceptsfor their overall capstone project. For juniors, lecture content focused mostly on Labview (asoftware used by systems engineers for testing, measurements, and control of hardware [43]) andhow to interface with and interpret data from physical hardware. Homework assignmentsfocused on Labview to interface and record data from existing physical systems. While thiscontent is related to engineering design, the authors do not believe any of this material wouldhave an effect on their mental model scores.In summary, seniors with knowledge of functional modelling were given the

JMU was invited to join the KernEntrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) in 2016 [11] and was recognized with aCurricular Innovation Award at the VentureWell OPEN conference in 2017 [12]. For theApplied Sciences Librarian, the most obvious effect of these changes was an increase in thenumber and complexity of the reference questions she received from engineering studentsworking on their two-year capstone projects. A growing competitive intelligence track within theJMU intelligence analysis program also required her to handle challenging questions such ashow to find data on privately held companies.Unfortunately, the Applied Sciences Librarian’s increasing awareness of the connectionsbetween business and the applied sciences

for Social Scienceswithin the university core. This required the course to conduct some surveys and analyze the datain a meaningful way, and this activity had to be a reasonable percentage of the course content.Fortunately the four-credit course structure permits this to happen and still retain sufficient classtime and activities to explore project management, the functions of an engineering team within thecontext of a business operation, and aspects of entrepreneurship. The course allows the engineeringstudents to have a basic understanding of business principles and terminology.3.2 ABET AssessmentWhile much of the liberal arts core does not directly contribute to ABET assessment, the courseon Engineering and Technology Ethics will be used

are grounded in John Dewey’s theory ofLearning by Doing and are defined by learning a concept through experiencing it or working directly withsaid concept [25]. Several projects evaluate the extent to which each experience prepares students. AtOhio State University [21], students who participated in an internship, a real-world project, or capstoneclasses were surveyed on their perceived improvement in various technical and non-technical categoriessuch as integrating multiple technologies, analyzing cost/benefit tradeoffs, leadership skills, teamwork,communication, and personal growth. This survey indicated that compared to capstone classes and real-world projects, internships resulted in the greatest improvement in all categories except for
textstandards documents. Faculty may also need standards to respond to grant applications, completeresearch projects, or design course materials. The accreditation body for U.S. engineeringcolleges’ undergraduate degrees requires a capstone design course that incorporates use ofconstraints, such as standards, in the design process [3]. While the engineering college is themost likely to need standards documents due to the nature of their design and research projects,standards exist for a wide variety of topics, including documentation (e.g. ISO 21127), education(e.g. CAS standards), and engineering (e.g. ASME B18.2.8). Additional institutional users ofstandards include those who design, build, maintain, and operate the physical plant (facilities

These attainments may not be directly related to a specific technical area,but do associate with skills essential for students to become engineers.5,6Over several years, Cal Poly Pomona’s civil engineering program has focused student learningassessment on Graduation Writing Test (GWT), capstone/senior projects and the Fundamentalsof Engineering (FE) exam. GWT, is a required graduation requirement where all students areassessed individually on their written communication skills. Senior projects assess students as ateam, not as individuals, while the FE exam is a multiple-choice test. All of the ABET studentoutcomes are clearly articulated and assessed through these summative measures. However, attimes it is difficult to identify

The program connectsstudents to a project partner in Sierra Leone or Zambia, the students work to understand theirpartners’ needs and assets and then develop an intervention plan consistent with the aims of theSDGs.In this paper, we provide results of a critically reflexive thematic analysis to explore the nature ofstudent reflections within the context of this interdisciplinary program. Evidence suggests arange of student interpretation of the purpose and application of critical reflection. Some are
