technically savvy, but also possess strong leadership, creativity, and communication traits [1].These skills, along with high ethical standards, dynamism, agility, resilience, and flexibility,have been defined by the National Academy of Engineering as key professional skills successfulengineers need. In response to this requirement, engineering programs have incorporated teachingprofessional skills through courses, workshops, and incorporating real-world experiences in theclassroom through service learning [3]. The challenge of teaching of professional skills has beenacknowledged by engineering educators, particularly for assessment methods [4]. Examples ofproposed assessment methods include tests and examinations, measures of attitudes

that the former includes professionalskills and competencies such as industrial engineering and management, communicationskills, ethics etc, whilst the latter focuses on preparing students for a future academic career.Serving all needsAfter five years of studies, a student following the system(s) described above could be entitledto three degrees. These degrees have slightly different learning goals. In order to award allthree degrees, the university needs to assess and assure that the learning goals are achieved.How can this be monitored, and is it even possible? Some previous publications [3, 4] suggestthat it is possible but requires a lot of effort in adapting program goals to course goals andensuring a high standard in the curriculum

This paper describes a new design project implemented in Fall 2015 as analternative to a project implemented in Fall 2005.Course History Since 2004In Fall 2004, students worked in teams on a semester-long design project, in which they designeda crane to lift the heaviest weight with the least amount of building material in the crane4. Whilethe project had many successes, faculty observed that students did not quantitatively analyzedesign alternatives and chose a final design with only qualitative justification5. As a result, inFall 2005, the sequence of design projects given to students was modified to include a simpler,four-week startup project that involved building and

Redesigning ‘Foundations of Engineering’ Course As evident from the literature review teaching should combine theoretical knowledge with practical skills, while understanding its social, cultural, and ethical implications on learning. This philosophy involves going beyond classroom-type, lecture- based education, and emphasize practical skills in real world projects. In general, first year engineering students are fascinated by how industrial products are made and are curios regarding novel methods for making products. Exposure to advanced manufacturing technologies and the need for integration of technologies from several

By embedding elements ofcareer development and professionalism into the engineering curriculum, students are exposedfrom freshmen year on to the key professional skills that employers seek from graduates asmodelled by the industry professionals themselves, including: critical thinking/problem solving;oral/written communication; teamwork/collaboration; information/technology application;leadership; professionalism/work ethic; career management [8]. With more than 70% of openpositions being secured through networking [9], it is important to introduce students to this skillas early as possible in their college career, and to ensure that
