In the late 2000’s ASCE established a vision forthe future that frames five critical learning outcomes [4,29]: (1) master builders, (2) stewards ofnatural environment, (3) innovators and integrators of ideas and technology, (4) managers of riskand uncertainty, and (5) leaders in shaping public policy. Based on this vision, there have beenrenewed studies in the last 10 years on capstones to meet current demands. Studies have included: Engineering ethics [24] Leadership skills [3] Integrating technology (for course admin

Research Council(NRC) [4] , “...HBCUs enroll smaller percentages of African American students in S&E majorsthan do PWIs but graduate a larger percentage speaks to the efficacy of these institutions inretaining these students” [p. 156]. This fact debunks the negative message communicated aboutHBCUs only graduating the highest number of Blacks in STEM due to the high percentage ofBlacks enrolled. According to the NRC, the report highlights the effectiveness of HBCUs inincreasing participation and success of minority students. Although HBCUs face challenges suchas flat or declining enrollment because of an inability to compete with other more resourcedinstitutions with scholarship funds for prospective students or online learning opportunities

Finally auniversity’s moral function gives individuals the guidance and experience to act in ways thatcontribute to a common good. Taken together these functions contribute to holisticdevelopment of the individual. It is proposed that this Learning-Societal-Economic-Moral(L-S-E-M) framework can be used to describe potential impacts of IT on university functions.In other words it provides a framework to discuss the aims which a university educationshould seek to achieve as pressures rise to shift its functions from humans to computers.As digital technologies are increasingly adopted in education and cost pressures

Students selected for the four-week researchexperience were expected to complete the appropriate first-year curriculum for their major beforeparticipation in the program. Students who were not on track to complete the first-yearcurriculum were referred to another summer program at CSUB for first year students who werestruggling with their first-year curriculum.

category is defined to characterize the different perspectives on engineeringfrom the participants on what engineering is. As shown in the quotes under “different ideas aboutengineering”, T1 talked about engineering at the system level, while T2 talked about applyingconcepts to build something. In addition, each counselor also had unique ideas: C1 talked about“manipulating things for a certain outcome” and C2 mentioned that engineering is “mathy” andsciency”. These show that there are differences in how the four participants thought aboutengineering. T1, T2 and C1 had specific definitions about engineering. These are all in contrastwith C2’s comments that engineering is “mathy” and “sciency”. For context, both T1 and T2were teachers that expose
