Ifassignments related to the design process instruction are not integrated with the stages of thecapstone project (i.e. are ad hoc assignments just to teach the principles/tools), then the studentsare burdened with doing the work twice—once for the ad hoc assignment and once for theproject. Again, this latter approach cannot assure that the project and instruction arecoordinated.The difficulty of teaching the design process simultaneously with the initiation of capstoneprojects was part of the impetus for our department to implement a change in curriculum thatamounts to a three semester capstone design experience.

The process flow shows that Criterion 3 is based on objectivesdeveloped by the institution and program in Criterion 2 which requires "(a) that an engineeringprogram have detailed published objectives that are consistent with the institution’s mission, (b)a process to determine and evaluate objectives, (c) a curriculum and process that ensures theachievement of the objectives, and (d) a system of ongoing evaluation3."

Although K-12 engineering curricula and research on how students learn is required to develop successful K-12 engineering programs, researchers also believe that engineering education will be greatlyenhanced when engineering literacy is clearly defined, informal engineering education programsare integrated into the K-12 curriculum, and engineering-focused schools are supported 5.Informal programs, such as those developed by local museums and universities, currently engagea small percentage of the total number of K-12 students in the United States.

possibly pass the course without getting the competency questions correct.One problem with this approach is the interaction between exams designed to assess ability leveland those designed to document minimum acceptable threshold abilities. Consequently, wechose instead to integrate the competency testing in precisely the same spirit with which theyfirst arose: they are go/no-go tests. To receive an “A” for the course, a student must pass acompetency exam in every topic area. If there is one topic for which a student cannot pass acompetency exam, the highest course grade possible is a “B”, no matter how high scores may beon the other evaluative components of the course. If the student cannot pass a competency test intwo of the topics, the highest

At theUniversity of Maryland, this philosophy was extended to high school students who are potentialapplicants to engineering programs. It is hypothesized that a number of good candidates forengineering programs may choose not to apply to or enroll in engineering programs because of alack of mathematics self-efficacy and engineering career awareness.
