Importantly, this study shows that a little reflection can goa long way in improving student outcomes and supports an argument that professional competencyreflection as a regular feature in the engineering curriculum.1.0 IntroductionThe motivation for this work stems from a need to help engineering undergraduates in therecognition and development of professional competencies.

These out-of-discipline students apply to discipline-specific “openings” on theteam and are matched via a college-wide optimization of student project placement.In previous offerings of the course, we observed that teams suffered from undefined leadership,unstructured communication, and an inability to benchmark or evaluate their progress.Therefore, we have recently implemented a Team Leader model for these design teams.Team LeadersThe efficacy and benefits of the

Multidisciplinary Team AssessmentAbstractDuring a semester long course entailing a multidisciplinary team project, students in computerengineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering were required to work togetherto design, build, and test a solar car. It is the hypothesis of the faculty that students who havemore multidisciplinary interaction in the design and implementation of the project will produce abetter project. To evaluate this hypothesis, the authors have designed a new assessmentinstrument to effectively assess the level of multidisciplinary teamwork and the students’ abilityto function on a multidisciplinary team. While there are some existing instruments available, fewhave documented reliability and validity1. For this reason

The new degree fit withinexisting guidelines so that no new administrative approval was required. On an individual department basis theaddition of several new courses each would have been impossible. By working together it became possible toadd two new college-wide courses. We believe that the new program is unique in that it is trulymultidisciplinary.

The proposed pedagogical approach is based on systematic learning through evidence-based teaching, knowledge mobilization, and research strategies. In our approach, it is recommended to use two platforms, µVision (simulator) and one microcontroller (hardware), such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi.

The approach is based on more than ten years of industrialprocess hazards analysis experience, which includes assessing for process-related hazards andreducing process-related risks. Before the students began the experimental phase of theirlaboratory project, they documented that they understood the potential hazardous events relatedto their project. The students completed a series of Project Risk Analysis (PRA) check sheetswhich listed both the hazards addressed in the OSHA Process Safety Management standard (i.e.,fire, explosion, and toxic release) as well as other area and personnel safety-related hazards (e.g.,noise, utilities, etc.). Then the students
