Therefore, students must be assessed in the context ofrealistic engineering projects, which are often found in capstone design courses. To match professionalpractice, most projects should be the responsibility of a team of students with backgrounds suitable for theproject, typically requiring multiple engineering disciplines and students or consultants with businessand/or social science expertise. Projects should have real stakeholders with whom students interact andsome to whom students are accountable. Suitable projects will be

By giving deliberate attention to theengineering identity development of our students we can help participate in these three processesin ways that result in the more inclusive attitudes and practices that are needed in modernengineering. We plan to shape our students’ perceptions of engineers and engineering byshowing them that in order to do their work engineers must learn a variety of skills.

However,these activities are limited in the types of views and planes that can be visualized, and are alsodifficult to scale to large-lecture situations. One alternative is to use the plan view, which showsspecific slices through a unit cell and provides information about crystal symmetry [5].
