in each year of study. This sequence of courses is expected toinculcate skills in engineering design and development, use of analysis tools, development ofprofessional and communication skills, understanding of professional behavior, business ethics,commercial constraints, project management, team work skills, etc. Teaching these skills is verychallenging in other engineering classes that are generally focused on delivering a lot of content.Having a chain of PBL courses allows the integration of the content learnt in other courses intoprojects and hands-on activities at different levels during the four years of engineeringcurriculum.The learning outcomes identified for the introductory course discussed in this paper are asfollows: 1

During the first design review,nearly every group mentioned how the women do all of the work and the men are lazy. The CORfound these statements shocking and culturally insensitive but recognized that the statementstemmed from the COR praising the women for their amazing work ethic. What was not saidabout the men was heard as loudly as what was said about the women.One method to combat injecting biases included having additional community organizationmembers speak to the students.

A successful team needs everyone to contribute and contribute to the best of their potential. With communication and a good work ethic, the project should be successful and everyone should have fun. (JSh-F-04F-I:1) I also believe that by working in teams with different types of personalities that you can benefit your communication skills and how to work together through a common goal.

In addition, students were exposed to additional design concepts such as thetheory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ), materials and material selection, green design, andengineering ethics. The end of semester student course evaluations scores for the section, however, turnedout to be significantly lower than the mean of all 13 sections, and significantly lower than thevalues the authors typically receive for this course. The very low scores and general studentdissatisfaction with the course provided motivation for this work. This aim of the study

We seek outstanding outside speakers to address the studentson these and related topics throughout the two semesters. In addition, we have 5 writtendeliverables that document the status of the project. These deliverables are due throughout thecourse of the two semesters.

directing towork of other team members. In end-of-the-semester surveys, seniors have cited this as one ofthe most valuable outcomes of course (whether or not the specific interactions were good orbad). In past semesters, teams were asked to build a more or less traditional milestone chart toschedule the tasks to be accomplished. The primary vehicle to keep teams on schedule was thetask planning sheet.The BSC idea of multiple perspectives is clearly in line with Criterion 4 of EC2000 whichrequires: “… a major design experience … incorporating engineering standards and realisticconstraints that include most of the following considerations: economic; environmental;sustainability; manufacturability, ethical, health and safety, social, and political.”1

. The potential for this system to identify opportunities for quality improvement is alsoevident from some of the figures. In Figure 4, for example, several disparities between studentand faculty assessments deserve investigation. The results for course outcome 9b (which relatesto the course’s impact on students’ social, environmental and ethical awareness) indicates thatfaculty judged the course to have no influence on this outcome, nor did the course test students’performance in this area. Nonetheless, students had a very favorable view of their abilities withrespect to this outcome, and they felt the course had some influence on those abilities. Clearly,there is need to look into this situation. In a similar fashion, results for course
