Requirement for GraduationIntroductionProfessional internships are not a new concept to college and university programs.However, to require this experience in the form of a demanding, well designed andimplemented internship is a very time consuming investment, which will yield excellentreturns for your students and for your program. Students, both traditional and non-traditional, are given an opportunity to demonstrate, advance, and refine technical andsupervisory competencies learned in the classroom and in the laboratories. Graduateswith this type of resume-worthy experience have a substantial advantage over peers withno internship experience. “Once, having an internship or two on your resume made you areal standout in the marketplace.

to develop these outcomes the Engineering Technology faculty at MU had to complete acareful analysis of each required course in the curriculum as well as the technical electives. Themodel suggested by Angelo was used in this process21. The model is based on four basicpreconditions: shared trust, shared vision and goals, shared language and concepts, and sharedguidelines22. Shared trust is one of the most important preconditions needed for a meaningfulanalysis of the curriculum and to identify outcomes that will be high quality assessmentindicators. Angelo points out that in order for trust to occur the “participants need to feelrespected, valued, safe, and in the company of worthy peers”23. To facilitate this approach, theEngineering

Behavioral Control Figure 1: Model of the Theory of Planned Behavior10Intention is what one has in mind to do or bring about, and is considered the immediatepredecessor of behavior10. A person must intend to engage in a behavior before they can engagein a behavior. Factors such as their intensity, attitude, subjective norm, and perceived ability mayhave mediating affects on intention. Simply put, if a person believes they are capable ofbehaving in a certain manner, believes that the rewards of behaving in that manner areworthwhile and beneficial, and has the support of their peers, family and friends, they will intendto engage in the behavior.Behavior, then, is the observable response in a given

A measure of the success of the distance experiment is that there are asmany students enrolled at the Open University of Sri Lanka as in all the Sri Lankan conventionaluniversities put together.However, the distance option still suffers from problems. There is a high failure rate because ofdiminished peer interaction, lack of full time commitment and other reasons.

Industry approaches aredescribed in various standards (e.g., IEEE Std. 1028-1997) appropriate for the designapplication. The TDR process is a peer evaluation of a design as it is developed and/or before itis deployed for development, fabrication or production. Peer reviewers are acquired fromindependent pools in order to provide experienced, unbiased, and objective design oversight19. Similar to spaced TDRs in industry, Wilson, Cambron, and McIntyre20 describe a capstoneTDR process that requires reviews throughout the year where students are used as independentreviewers (see also, 4

Also, immediately after the activity, relevant discussion or sharing of studentwork is necessary to retain engaged students. In the observations, without a planned follow-upfor each active learning exercise, students who were off-task and then engaged in the activeexercise were often observed returning to their off-task work. Likewise, students who finishedan activity before their peers would participate in off-task activities, but a powerful summary ordiscussion of the exercise would often reengage those students in lecture.To illustrate the benefits to active
