product of a team effort. A grading scheme has been developed, over several yearsof capstone courses, that assists in grading the individual student relative to the team’ssuccess on the project and the individual team member’s contributions as assessed bythe team. This process uses a variety of survey questions related to the project whereeach team member rates themselves and their peers over a 10-point scale. Stipulationsare placed on the rating to ensure that students provide a range in the assessment forthe group members. The survey scores are normalized using the z-score in an attemptto remove individual grading variances between each team member. Each student’sindividual grade is calculated from the team average grade, as assessed by

Integratingwriting in several engineering courses and giving students exposure to writing tasks throughouttheir time in college is ideal, but this can be difficult to achieve [16]. Leydens advocates forteaching sociotechnical communication in opposition to the notion that engineering writing isneutral or objective [18]. House, et al. showed evidence that assigning writing portfolios,integrating writing into several courses, and using rubrics and peer review are effective methodsfor teaching writing in engineering [19].The curriculum for writing instruction can also range from technical, discipline-based

For the technical research, he has a long-standing involvement in research concerned with manufacturing of advanced composite materials (CFRP/titanium stack, GFRP, nanocomposites, etc.) for automotive, marine, and aerospace applications. His recent research efforts have also included the fatigue behavior of manufactured products, with the focus of fatigue strength improvement of aerospace, automotive, and rail structures. He has been the author or co-author of over 200 peer-reviewed papers in these areas.John D Lynch John Lynch received the BSEE degree from the University of Utah in

Essential skills cannot beobtained through lecture— capacity in presenting, pitching, interviewing, and writing must bedeveloped through iterative practice. The 2:1 studio mode affords more time in class forstructured workshops, establishing a safe and collegial environment where failure is encouragedas a steppingstone in the students’ progress.Collaborative LearningA secondary, but vitally important objective of the course is to establish a community of peerswithin the School. To facilitate collaboration and relationship building, students often work inpairs and groups during in-class activities and select assignments.

Consequently, team members use the PME structure to hold each other accountable.Continued low performance on PME can substantially reduce capstone grades for individualstudents.PME provide students with a framework to work as professionals and, therefore, manage theirteams effectively with minimal intervention from advisors. These skills are essential tosupporting an entrepreneurial mindset. Students use PME to document problems such as lack ofparticipation or limited contributions by a team member, allowing for earlier intervention, ifnecessary. Over the past several years, the

-structured interviews allowed us to gather student perspectives on a variety of issues that theyconsidered to be relevant. In this paper, we present the analysis of the interviews. Our analysisfinds that students had three primary sources from which they deduce what they are expected todo, and how to do it: research experience prior to beginning their program, their PhD advisor, andtheir peers. Each of these sources helps students understand different kinds of expectations, withadvisors providing primarily high-level guidance on what tasks to accomplish, and peers helpingeach other with lower-level tasks. Many students began the program anticipating more hands-onsupport from their advisor, and instead found themselves relying more on their labmates
