requirements, the process for obtaining eachbadge included at least the following: introduction to the new topic (e.g., participation and animpromptu classroom presentation or discussion, hands-on activity in class); reflections on thedesign and development of the project and on their own learning; application of new materials;and finally, the final project itself accompanied by the narrative/reflection and artifact(s). Whilesome projects were to be completed independently, for others, students were encouraged orrequired to work with peers. In addition, some projects could be in part used to meet sub-competencies across multiple badges. Students completed projects on their own timeframe and inthe order they preferred. While there were soft deadlines
in Section 10, and supporting materials are provided in the Appendix.3. Motivation & BackgroundThe professional practices course was developed to address difficulties with soft topic coveragein the degree plan used for many years, along with increased needs that arose from broadeningthe available degree programs and heightened expectations for computing curricula. Throughoutthe 80's and 90's, the CSE department offered a single undergraduate degree in ComputerScience and Engineering. The first year of the program included a one-hour college-levelcommon course (1104) Introduction to Engineering to provide exposure to the diversity ofchallenges in engineering, along with another one-hour departmental course (1105) Introductionto

program can have a majorexperience both on design and research, under this context, in their fifth year they have project-based courses with the proposal, execution and reporting phases being nominally divided up intothe two semesters. A member of the ME faculty is assigned as advisor and often the projectresults in a bachelor thesis, several of this projects have also resulted in journal publicationsand/or patent applications. We are strongly promoting this option, since it greatly benefits thestudents and allows us to detect talents to pursue graduate studies.Accreditation: Engineering programs accreditation agencies in Mexico started in the middle1990´s.

/Engage, a structuredand coached course process of reflection to one´s own identity and personality, while within ateam setting. The rationale for presenting this learning method and practice is that the processdoes not happen by itself; therefore, by definition, it is more based on social rather than naturalscience and hence, cannot by typically coached by engineering educators without solid structureand a step-by-step process description with rationale included. Methods introduced in this papershed light on this matter and we argue that if implemented accordingly, they can be used by avariety of educators.

Although the bracket appears to be a simplecomponent, accurately simulating its nonlinear behavior under loading is a challenging problemeven for upper-division undergraduate engineering students.BackgroundAdditive Manufacturing (AM) is a computer-automated process in which objects are built up,generally layer-by-layer, by the addition of material. Since its invention in the mid 1980’s, AM(also called rapid prototyping) has advanced in both materials and processes. Early AM usedmostly polymer-based materials and was employed mostly for design conceptualization and formand fit checking. More recently, advances in processes and materials have led to a greatexpansion in the usage of AM to include the direct fabrication of functional products across
