IACs that met once or twice a year to give input on changesin the field and to review and give feedback on proposed program changes and assessment andevaluation findings. IAC members were also the primary sponsors of senior projects. The METand PET programs both strove to have students work on industry-sponsored senior projects when-ever possible and achieved that for 80-90% of students most years. The EET program had allstudents complete a project of their own choosing that included a set of technical requirements thathad been vetted by the EET IAC. To prepare students for such capstone experiences, all threeprograms had large lab suites with industrial equipment identical or similar to that used by regionalindustry and professional software

Engineering Education, 2019 EML Indices to Assess Student Learning through Integrated e-Learning ModulesIntroduction The University of New Haven has facilitated the development and integration of 18 e-learning modules on entrepreneurial topics into regular engineering and computer sciencecourses. In addition to faculty at the University of New Haven, over three years 77 faculty at 53other universities in the US have also integrated these modules into their courses. These modulesare designed so that students learn entrepreneurial content outside of class and then apply themto a class project or assignment (i.e., contextual activities). Instructors are also stronglyencouraged to engage students through

Embeddingtools like the Engineering Ethics Coach in such foundational courses not only supports students’ ethicaldevelopment early in their education but also models how AI can be responsibly leveraged to enhancecritical thinking. This approach may be extended to other contexts—such as design courses, sustainability,or capstone projects—where ethics and decision-making intersect in meaningful ways.References[1] Institute of Electrical and

The combined degree program allowsacademically talented (high GPA) undergraduate students replace two of their three requiredundergraduate electives with graduate courses while also replacing their industry sponsoredsenior design project (capstone) with their Master’s thesis/project. With this, they are able toreplace up to 11 undergraduate credits with graduate credits thereby accelerating their graduatedegree while also reducing cost. The compressed timeline allows the scholars enter theworkforce a year earlier thereby maximizing their earning potential. This structure helps addressthe family pressure

And then they go back in their senior year, where they start taking all of these, again, the exciting projects, final projects, the capstone project, but in the middle two years, that's where they lose excitement about the field. So part of it was retention through those tracks, to have people get a little bit more cyber security and data analytics for example in the junior year, to keep them engaged.”Track development has been collaborative as well, with faculty ownership of tracks where theirexpertise

To recognize CM as a STEM field, more specifically an engineering field, thedefinition of “engineering” by Lucas and Dobrijevic as “the application of science andmathematics to solve problems” [9] is considered. While CM students do apply science andmathematics to develop cost estimates and schedules, it should be also noted that successfulconstruction relies on the application of several other engineering concepts including statics,dynamics, structures, hydraulics, and soils analysis.
