, design facultyand design practitioners argue that further improvements are necessary. One of the definingcharacteristics of design is that there is rarely a single correct answer to an engineering problembut, rather, an optimal or acceptable solution leading to a final design, presented as the bestpossible balance between technical as well as non-technical constraints. These non-technicalconstraints, typically involve: economics, politics, social and environmental issues, ethics, etc.And, while professional practitioners generally accept this understanding of design, students, byenlarge, tend to interpret the engineering design process as an unambiguous and clearly definedprocess supported by rigidly applied principles and processes of “the

We also consider evidence of the alumni’s engagement in and support of thecollege as one measure of civic and professional engagement, one of the objectives of theprogram.IntroductionThe general goal of an engineering education is to provide students with the knowledge andskills necessary to operate effectively as an engineer. The main emphasis, of course, is ontechnical knowledge and skills, including problem-solving abilities. ABET engineeringaccreditation goes further and requires that the engineering education include ethics andprofessional skills, such as communication and the ability to work in multidisciplinary teams [1].However, leadership skills historically have been overlooked in undergraduate
crucial component of engineering education. It is outlined in ABET’s courseoutcomes criteria “ c” that students should have “an ability to design a system, component, orprocess to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social,political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.”4 The inclusion of aprototype in the design process helps to improve the final design. Witnessing the results andlearning through failure in the earlier design phase minimizes loss in the later stages of productdevelopment. Creating a physical prototype can be an effective way to observe and assess ideasbefore implementing production.In these programs, renewable energy lab exercises have become an essential

educationThe study of academic emotions in engineering education with the intent of informing classroompractices, assessment, and instructional interventions is limited. In 2015, Husman and colleagues[18] explored the emotions of engineering students enrolled in an ethics course. The researchersused self-reports and salivary cortisol at the beginning and end of class and found a negativecorrelation between class-related positive emotions (i.e., enjoyment) and students’ cortisol levels.The more enjoyment students self-reported, the less psychological stress they experienced andthe better they performed.Villanueva and colleagues have reported using self-reports with electrodermal activity sensors[19], [20] while Goodridge, Call, and colleagues have used

have identified thatdesirable attributes of an engineer include good communication skills, high ethical standards, theability and self-confidence to adapt to rapid or major change, the ability to work ininterdisciplinary teams and a profound understanding of the importance of teamwork [4]. In theRIOT team surveys, "Political Skill" (described in the next section) measures these competenciesin the individual differences surveys.We hypothesized that explicitly addressing these "soft topics" before the capstone teams wereformed would increase student awareness of their importance and provide specific tools to helpwith self-management and team cohesion.
