What do you expect from me? What do you think I expect from you? • Do you prefer to work and plan as we go, or have the plan worked out in detail before we begin?Based on this interview, I can develop a mentoring plan that is tailored to each student. If thestudent wishes to pursue a career in industry, I can begin looking for an appropriate summerinternship; if the student wishes to pursue an academic position, I can send them to teachingworkshops.

This modification obviated some of the critical issues. There was minimal industrialinvolvement with the capstone course. The modification notwithstanding, both the students andthe industrial advisory board (IAB) felt that more could be done by way of preparing students forthe construction industry. During summer 2011 the process of reengineering the capstone coursebegan. The following sections detail the planning and design of a “new” capstone course, withsignificant industrial participation, for the purpose of better preparing CSM majors for theconstruction

Indeed, recent studies have shown that these standalone professionaldevelopment experiences can result in significant gains for in-service elementary teachers’teaching self-efficacy and reduce their perceived barriers to teaching engineering in theirclassrooms [5], [6].
