).  As  such,  lectures   tend  to   focus  on  terms  and  definitions,  and  quizzes  and  exams emphasize  memorization  of  such  items.  The  result  is  a  dry  course,  with  little  retention  of concepts  afterwards,  little  improvement  in  a  student's  insight,  and  little  change  in  a  student's interaction with computing technology.  1   Thus,  in  2015  we  invested  extensive  effort  on  creating  new  interactive  web­based  content  for introducing  computing  technology.  We   focus  on  having students learn the fundamental concepts in  computing  technology,  and  avoid  attempting to  simultaneously be  a

-playing is to introduce students to a professional environment and to enable to not onlyfocus on their technical skills but also on their professional skills. Related styles of role-playingmay have students not only role-play different potential company positions, but also be scoredusing game-style grading to advance to new positions 1, 12.Role-playing has also been utilized to let students assume the roles of expert witnesses beinginterviewed in a mock trial with the intent of having the students encounter ethical dilemmas andpractice responding as professionals 5, 6. By placing students into a situation which forces themto ‘make the call’ in their role, the instructor is more likely to engage the students as they learnengineering ethics than

professionalpractice. In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, one of the requirements for certification as anEngineer-in-Training (EIT), the first step towards licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE), is topass the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) Fundamentalsof Engineering (FE) examination. But one of the ways to qualify to take the FE examination isto graduate from an “undergraduate engineering curriculum in the United States accredited byABET.”1 As of September 2014, “nearly 3400 engineering programs at nearly 700 colleges anduniversities in 28 countries” had received accreditation.2 ABET states that all programs seekingaccreditation from the EAC must satisfy the General Criteria requirements at a minimum and anadditional

As part of the project scoping processthe design team produced a list of design specifications as shown in Figure1.In addition, the design team performed a “state of the technology assessment” and arrived at alist of desirable attributes for their new design: • Fusion temperature is important – provide heated build platform • Air flow and temperature around build platform is important – enclose and regulate air flow • Printing time – assess nozzle diameter and allow for adjustable fusion temperature • Open Source – a good selling point with other student groupsFigure 1: The design team's assessment of the Da Vinci 1.0 3-D printer specificationsStudent OutcomesCapstone projects are a hallmark of

The following is a short list ofsome challenges that we have discovered and the corresponding approach that we use to mitigatethe challenges. Many of these are corroborated in the literature as discussed in the Introductionsection of this paper. Here we consider them collectively and concretely. 1) Challenge: Students have varying needs for encouragement and prodding. Some have low confidence. Others do not yet recognize the significance of poor study
