part-time students who were in no hurry to graduate, the Capstone Experience dragged on for up to five quarters.As part of our ongoing ABET assessment process and after several teams completed theprogram, we made some significant changes and these changes represent the CapstoneExperience as currently implemented. Three key changes were implemented: 1. The Capstone course was extended to two quarters. Capstone I is a two-credit course in which the students research the project and create a formal specification that must be approved by their industry mentor. Capstone II is a three-credit course in which the students actually build, debug and validate their design. Capstone II ends with a report, a

This research will produce and disseminate a model forredefining the “engineering canon” to include a professional spine threaded throughout thecurriculum with the goal of developing “Changemaking Engineers”. The revised engineeringcanon will build upon engineering technical skills to include the knowledge and professionalskills needed to empower our graduates to impact society and enhance the common good.

When using argumentation in a classroom environment, the instructor plays animportant role by helping the student understand theories and principles, but the instructor is notthe authority to explaining why a principle makes sense for solving a problem. Table 2 providesexamples of the appropriate questions and actions that teachers can use to develop the student’scognitive skills via argumentation. Through the lens of engineering practice, an argumentation-based framework (Table 1) is used to support the rational decisions that design teams make whenanalyzing, deliberating and compromising on the solution to an engineering problem (Jin andGeslin, 2009

A prerequisite forcollaborating productively is to purposefully design and facilitate a robust learning environmentwhere people recognize and work to decrease their own biases. While overt forms ofdiscrimination and bias exist, there are implicit forms of discrimination and bias as well. Tomediate implicit bias, for example, Project Implicit (2011) is a multi-institutional and multi-disciplinary initiative that uses research and practical tips to help people recognize where theyare subconsciously treating people differently and enacting discrimination.

Nevertheless, there has been no systematic documentation of such use bygraduate students and/or professors. Furthermore, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, thedatabase has never been used directly before as an educational tool at the undergraduate level.Typically, for term projects in introductory transportation classes, students select their topicbased solely on their interests, or alternatively, the instructor assigns specific topics.The goal of this paper is to identify opportunities to improve instruction around the use of theRNS database as a means to identify and select a course project topic in transportationengineering.
