There are three introductory classes (9 totalcredits): ES 260, Engineering: Getting from Thought to Thing; ES 265, Survey of theImpacts of Engineering Activity; and ES 270, Survey of How Things Work. In addition,each student should take 6 credits of junior- or senior-level classes from an approvedcourse list of junior- and senior-level classes. These classes are offered by different Page 15.331.3faculty and are all related to understanding technology, technological development, andsocial, ethical, and environmental aspects of

Almost all of the speakers invited to the capstone coursespent a large portion of their talk on professional topics such as ethics, membership inprofessional societies, and professional presentation. The study also noted industry’s commentsthat students lacked the knowledge of how technical skills in college were applied in the workenvironment. The close relationship between industry and students in this capstone course hashelped bridge the gap between what is learned in the college curriculum and what industryexpects of the entry level graduate.ObjectivesABET

Working in unfamiliar domains, beingcognizant of ethical issues, and having to deal with ambiguous and conflicting customerrequirements are some of the challenges that students face in a course like this.The authors have been working on a collaborative experiment where the clients for the junior SEstudent teams are biomedical engineering (BE) student design teams. This allowsinterdisciplinary collaboration, exposes the SE students to eliciting requirements in an unfamiliardomain, and exposes the BE students to a formal requirements process.

as teamwork, ethics,and the benefits of diversity, and capstone courses that seek to integrate work through teamprojects, many of the mathematics based courses still teach in a passive manner. Formulas arepresented to students, a few example problems are solved, and students practice by doinghomework. An assessment of student learning is to solve similar problems on an exam.However, what is generally not assessed is a student’s understanding of the very formulas thatare employed. In fact, students can perform quite well on such exams with very littleunderstanding at all.At its core, engineering is the application of mathematics and science to solve practical problemsof the human race. That is, at its core, engineering is not just problem
