The theme underlying the seminar course is “socially responsible engineering”, andthe course will include reading and discussion on such topics as ethics, societal “grandchallenges” in engineering [10], and recent technological progress in addressing thosechallenges. Engineering topics with obvious societal benefits have been shown to improverecruitment and retention of traditionally underrepresented groups in engineering, such as women[11].

Question 7 was additionally used to balance the other skills on a team (e.g. planning,writing, CAD, manufacturing). Question 8 was used to ensure known personality conflictswouldn’t interfere with team dynamics. Question 9 was used to keep certain students together(often by moving them from a popular project). Question 10 was used for the popular projects,to refine the final team membership. Question 6 relates to certification for using certain machinetools, and was not used for team-forming. The process took about ten hours to form 22 teamsacross three different lab times.Student-Formed TeamsIn

engineering curricula, design projects provide opportunities for students todemonstrate understanding of their technical knowledge through solving a complex problem [1].Additionally, project-based learning allows students to acquire and apply valuable non-technicalskills such as teamwork, systems thinking, communication, ethics, and creativity [2, 3]. Industrydemands that students be able to engage effectively in the practice of engineering, whichincludes not only technical knowledge but also the ability to apply that knowledge to new andcomplex situations in the real world [3, 4]. Therefore, the teaching of engineering should focuson getting students to think independently, rather than simply asking students to replicate theexisting knowledge of

Students expressed concerns about theirability to clearly explain why they would be a uniquely strong candidate when the other 200+students in their graduating class all had similar experience.

The authors submit thatproject-based learning (PBL) is especially effective at helping the students develop skillsat solving open-ended problems, multidisciplinary teamwork and communication. Theseskills, as well as professionalism and ethics are emphasized throughout the clinics. Asstudents progress throughout the Rowan curriculum, the clinic projects become decidedlymore “real-world.” Many of the goals of the engineering clinic sequence have since beenspecifically identified in the ABET 2000 A-K Criteria5.The purpose of this paper is to

These include additional skills beyond those required by ABET, such as leadership, project management, business policy and ethics.

However,combination of the four changes made in 2007 produced a much different result in the finalcourse grades. Compared to the previous ten years, as depicted in Table 1, the final coursegrades in 2007 featured a course GPA much closer to the mean GPA of the students entering thecourse.

suggested a more formal process of recording reviews andreminding them exactly what the review should accomplish. Taking these comments intoaccount a new policy was written (see Appendix A).The need to educate the students in the methodology was also noted. It was naïve for the authorto believe that the students would know what to do automatically without significant instructionand coaching. The students had not encountered this in previous engineering classes, and theauthor and the other course instructor took care to prepare the students. Combined with adiscussion of professional responsibility and ethics in the second lesson, the idea of peer reviewwas explained and the policy was introduced and its implementation discussed; this took abouttwo
