solutions, feasibility considerations and detailed system descriptions. Further, it is essential to include a variety of realistic constraints such as: economic factors, safety, reliability, aesthetics, ethics and social impact. One of the major drivers of mapping the learning objectives for design across the curriculum was the development in the first semester of the Introduction to Mechanical Engineering course. The faculty involved in developing the course began comparing the items being taught in the EPICS I cornerstone course to those expected in the Senior Design capstone course. These end-‐caps, plus feedback from the department
End of Program Project Presentations ParticipantsStatus meetings or professional development workshops were held every Tuesday morning.Topics that were covered during the 2014 program are provided in Table 2. At the statusmeetings, each participant reports orally what he/she has accomplished in the past week andhis/her plans for the current week. Workshops were organized to provide participantsfundamental and professional skill development through interactive exercises to better preparethem for a successful research experience and tools for graduate school. In addition, threefundamental areas - communication, investigation and documentation – were emphasized inthese workshops [8-10]. Participants were trained on ethics related

of acited reference in an article, conference paper, technical report or other written work is to directthe reader’s attention to information in a previously published (or unpublished) work that isrelated in some way to the author’s research. Professional and research ethics require authors tocite appropriately.Cited references in patent documents serve a different purpose. Patents are legal documents thatdefine the scope of an inventor’s intellectual property rights in a new invention or improvementon an existing technology.

It is outlined in ABET’s courseoutcomes criteria “ c” that students should have “an ability to design a system, component, orprocess to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental,social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability”4. The inclusionof a prototype in the design process helps to improve the final design. Witnessing the results andlearning through failure in the earlier design phase minimizes loss in the later stages of productdevelopment. Creating a physical prototype can be an effective way to observe and assess ideasbefore implementing

This synthesis of skills is a criticallearning outcome of the capstone course, as it provides students with an understanding of thework they will be doing when they graduate.There are a variety resources that describe the topics covered and desired outcomes of capstonedesign courses. Surveys of capstone instructors 1-3 show that instructors teach a wide range ofsubjects, including oral communications, teamwork, project planning, and ethics, among manyother aspects of engineering design. Moreover, the Engineering Profile 4, developed using datafrom both industry practitioners and design faculty, highlights the importance of bothprofessional and technical skills, describing engineering roles

We also analyzed results foreach course, but no patterned differences were found.5.2 ResultsThe quantitative assessment measures consistently show improvements in student writing (Table2). Every statistical measure was significant. Below we discuss a few noteworthy aspects of theassessment.Table 2.

ethically responsible ways. Students are involved more, and teachers control less. 3. Content is used to build a knowledge base, to develop learning skills, and to foster student self-awareness of their abilities. Teaching approaches accounts for students’ learning strategies and prior knowledge. 4. Together, students and teachers create motivating learning environments that encourage students to accept responsibility for their learning. 5. Assessments are implemented to promote learning and to develop self and peer assessment skills, not to evaluate performance primarily.In a meta-analysis of 119 studies, across grades K-20, Cornelius-White found that learner-centered variables such as incorporation of higher-order

Engineering education assists development of engineering“habits of mind” including systems thinking, creativity, optimism, collaboration, effectivecommunication, and ethical considerations.13 This paper reports on the first year of a multi-year project to engage middle and high school students

ABET, the higher education accrediting body that helps set an engineering student onto theroad towards professional licensure, puts forward several criteria that help shape the student’sexperience and make it more likely they will be successful in their chosen field. Specifically,ABET General Criterion 3 (Student Outcomes) and General Criterion 5 (Curriculum) outline aneducation grounded in math, science, and engineering that is capped with an all-encompassingdesign experience.2 Crucially, this design experience helps the student make the
