given over 70 invited presentations - 13 plenary - at international and national forums, conferences and corporations. Since 1994, he has directed an extensive engineering mentoring-research academic success and professional development (ASAP) program that has served over 500 students. These efforts have been supported by NSF STEP, S-STEM, and CSEM grants as well as industry. Dr. Rodriguez’ research inter- ests include: control of nonlinear distributed parameter, and sampled-data systems; modeling, simulation, animation, and real-time control (MoSART) of Flexible Autonomous Machines operating in an uncertain Environment (FAME); design and control of micro-air vehicles (MAVs), control of bio-economic systems

Baxter Magolda’s prior interview protocol11. Interviewquestions were asked to introduce different topics, such as role of learners, role ofadvisors/professors, etc. The advantage of this protocol was that it provided a scope of topicwithout framing the response. Sample questions are shown as follows: -Now, think about yourself as a learner in the classroom, in a research group, or in a project team. What role do you play, what method do you use, to make learning more effective for you? -As you think about your instructors, professors, advisor(s), what role do you think they have played that made you learn effectively?Data AnalysisAll sixteen interviews were transcribed. After the transcription, transcripts were revised where

Then these identified concepts areproperly distributed within the various courses on manufacturing science, manufacturing operations, andmanufacturing design. The framework is deliberately kept open so that schools that are so interested canfurther adjust the structure to develop a curriculum that is better suited to their available resources.

The project timelines arecompletely decoupled from the semester schedule allowing projects to span multiple semestersor even years allowing projects of significant scope to be developed. Once a project is delivered,a new project is then identified by students under the guidance of their faculty mentor(s) andcommunity partner(s).Student assessment data indicates that students who are involved in EPICS

Although the engineering sector has grown in past years, in2012, engineers comprised only 1.2% of the U. S. workforce.18 The U. S. Department of Laborforecasts growth in workforce needs among all of the major engineering disciplines (chemical,civil, electrical, industrial and mechanical); however, the projected demand for civil engineers isfar greater compared to the other disciplines (Table 1). 19 This is largely due to the need for civilengineers to address issues related to the country’s aging infrastructure and to the design anddevelopment of new infrastructure needed to
