Some programs allowed admission to students just finishing a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering while others required a minimum number of years of industry experience. Also, some programs required a degree in engineering while others were more flexible allowing persons with a degree in math or hard science acceptance into an MSEM program.· How many hours are typical for this type of program? The number of hours required varied slightly and sometimes depended on if a thesis was being incorporated into a person’s degree.· Should a thesis or capstone project be required

AssessmentThe CSET program utilizes an assessment process that relies on multiple measures andmultiple evaluators. Data used to demonstrate achievement include but are not limited to: • course grades (each term) • representative samples of student work (periodically) • co-op surveys of students and employers (each semester, an increasing number of students) • placement data (employment and graduate school) (annually) • class surveys (each semester) • senior capstone projects and reports • graduate exit survey (each semester) • feedback from alumni (annually)The assessment process follows the basic procedures as follows: • Course Assessment Data • Responsible Personnel: Program

project allowed students to work on topics of personalinterest, with many choosing their senior design capstone projects, while others focused onindependent research. Students were encouraged to propose real-world physical problems ofinterest, and then develop both two-dimensional models and simplified three-dimensionalrepresentations, focusing on either structural or thermal aspects.Questions 14 to 21 explore the impact of teamwork on learning. Approximately 73% of studentsdisagreed or strongly disagreed with the idea of removing the development of teamwork skillsthrough team projects from the course. Additionally, only about 24.3% of students agreed that theyshould be allowed to work individually on all projects, rather than just one. These

Thestudents were given writing assignments in which they reflected on the human implications ofdesign. Another example can be found in a team-based capstone design project in which thewiki was used to document social knowledge and assess group performance9. A third example isa student-written online textbook5. In a senior level chemical engineering process controlscourse, an open-source text was written, edited, and reviewed by the students to allow them tolearn the course content though teaching it.This paper describes the use of a

pursued six entrepreneurial projects in the four years since theentrepreneurial SEC II project was implemented.VI: Summary and ConclusionMany engineering programs seek to introduce design skills into the lower levels of thecurriculum, rather than confining design to the capstone design course. This paper describeshow entrepreneurship was integrated into a sophomore design sequence. The “Create your ownentrepreneurial design project” is a semester-long design experience in which teams of 4-5students pursue entrepreneurial ideas. The goal of the project is to start with an idea and developit to the point where the team can make a compelling case that the idea has enough merit todeserve funding from either an internal or external source.

A detailed description ofthese courses and some preliminary assessment results from the 2005 time frame were given byRyan and Ho in 20061.After this new course sequence was offered for several years, and feedback was collected via theDepartment’s assessment process, it was felt that a more comprehensive approach towardrevision of the design sequence was required. In particular, it was noted that our students’readiness for senior design was still very non-uniform, which left some students unable tocontribute effectively to their capstone projects.

Along with the transport course, the potentialwould exist for students to complete their capstone design project by continuing their work onthe evaporator. For the syrup-making program, the main benefit would be an evaporator withimproved efficiency and/or safety, making the syrup production process easier and more flexible.They would also gain some insight into how the engineering field views the world, andpotentially increase their technical and scientific literacy.

They are assigned to teams of two, three, four or more students depending onthe nature of the project/activity at hand.The first discussions of group dynamics, of team development, and the interdependence of teammembers are held in the first engineering course in the first semester. These concepts are furtherdeveloped and repeatedly exercised and further polished in future classes [1]. As shown intable (1), students are involved in team work activities in twelve different courses prior to theirsenior year.Finally, in their two-semester "senior design project" (the capstone engineering design course),students review, reinforce, and synergize all the previously learned concepts of their education(including team work concepts

The latter was offered during a summer session at thecompletion of the freshman spring semester.
