Through this survey we determine which students would besuccessful in leading their teams and projects. We also take feedback from the studentsthemselves. If the students request a person to lead them and they meet all of our requirements,they are often promoted to that position.By the end of the course, students are expected to learn the following outcomes: • Will be able to define design requirements, • develop a work plan and objectives to complete their project, • will use engineering principles to design, build, test a product, • will develop communication skills, written and oral, to effectively

One of them became a Navy SEAL...he was like ‘you could be a great officer, but there's a higher calling for you’, and I... it was true, I really felt a greater calling, for me, my skill set, to do engineering and EWB related things just because of the engineering....Karl’s post-college military service did not go as planned.

The traditional emphasis on developing students with theoretical andanalytical skills, and the heavy load of engineering science and mathematics courses during thefirst two years of college leads many students to concentrate more on academic performanceand not realize the importance of developing professional skills.Over the past 30 years, there have been notable curriculum shifts in engineering education tomeet the needs of industry and the standards of ABET Accreditation.

In our study, we deploy insights from organizational behavior to offer a morenuanced understanding of change processes, such as the organizational inertia that both limit andchannel institutional responses. To begin with an example outside of ABET—but of anorganization that played a key role in coordinating ABET’s stakeholders—the early responses ofthe National Science Foundation are indicative of this particular phenomenon.

Formost problem-based STEM content, high quality screencast videos perceived as most useful bystudents depended not only on thorough planning of the recorded content, but upon careful post-editing with callouts. Of course, any awkward pauses, misspoken words, or other unwantedportions should be removed to craft a focused video that uses students’ time efficiently andsustains their retention. Furthermore, it is important to stress that rich annotations created byinstructors during pre- and post-editing can help grab students’ attention, significantly enhancevideo quality, result in deep impact, and make it a more fun experience.
