Panopto and various video-editing packages (for archiving video modules) have been recently used in the project. For somesynchronous video conference sessions, two LCD projectors were operated, one to display theslides for the presentation (previously downloaded file to achieve high resolution with images)and a second to display a full-screen image of the face(s) of the partners at the other university.The new video conference activities included a sand castle building competition that had strictrules for construction activities (e.g., only 3 people at a time could be speaking or touching thesand).

thatstudents are making progress toward achieving the learning outcomes of the capstone project,and by extension progress toward degree program outcomes? This is a serious and difficultquestion often raised as “how do I assess the individual working within the project team?” [2][7].But it is more than how to arrive at a grade. For the instructor, s/he wants to provide formativefeedback early and often during the project to help the student understand the larger context of aspecific issue and how it applies in the real world. For the student, gaining an awareness of thecause-and-effect of her/his choices and actions within a team, and how those judgments translateto the real world is important. For example, consider a project that is falling behind
produced specimens. Once the usable specimens wereproduced, the students proceed to the testing station.The samples were tested on a Tinius Olsen H10KT tensile testing machine. They were extendedat 0.02cm/s and the test continued until the failure (fracture) of the specimen. The students notedthe elongation to break (strain) and ultimate strength (Mpa) of the specimens. Given that thethree groups had to begin at various stations to make the laboratory time effective, samples weregiven to the initial testing group to test. The group that began with testing moved to thesimulation station next.Once the three groups had completed the three different exercises at the three stations, they metand discussed their results and finding. The goal was to have
incorporate the need for the students to consult and comply with engineering standards and to address numerous realistic constraints.Evaluation of Current Curriculum vs. BOK2 OutcomesCurrent BSCE program outcomes for [University A] (Table 1) were ‘mapped’ against the BOK2baccalaureate outcomes published by ASCE, and an initial assessment was conducted to identifylikely action(s) needed to bring the [University A] program outcomes into better agreement orcompliance with BOK2 outcomes. Table 3 presents a very brief summary of the effort. Thistype of exercise is limited by the nature of existing [University A] outcomes – which typically donot specify a “level of achievement” – versus the BOK2 approach of stating outcomes withdefinitive achievement

The key issue also lay not in a goal of providing orapproaching some sort of complete account of what is now taking place in international andglobal engineering education. Rather, it lay in what specific strategies promised to make visibleor risked hiding in the identities of international and

engineering ethics in a service learning design course.Where We Began Our goals from the beginning were to satisfy the Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology(ABET)’s requirement that students havean “understanding” of ethical issues.But this is only a start, and since our program works so closely with the community, we mustalso go well beyond ABET, helping our studentsusetheir understandingof ethical issues to thenapply a process of practical moral reasoning, a process through which they can arrive at ajustifiable and feasible response to ethical dilemmas in their project work. Our goals are notsimply academic. Nor do we want to teach only ethics. Rather, we have aimed our efforts atteaching engineering ethics to students who must
