approaches with technical engineering skills. This requires anenhanced curriculum with a focus on student teamwork, a greater consideration of social context,improved communication with diverse constituents, and reflection on an ethical understanding oftheir decisions and solutions. Effective faculty members need to mirror these values and skills intheir instruction and mentoring. Efforts have begun to reimagine the “engineering canon” whichrequires a shift from positioning engineering as a purely technical endeavor to framing it associo-technical. We are developing a new General Engineering program that incorporates thisperspective [30]. In addition, we are developing modules that emphasize the sociotechnicalnature of engineering for traditional

During Autumn 2017, the faculty set out to create a more cohesive materials ‘thread’through the curriculum in order to aid the students in associating the information learned in earlycourses to the latter ones. The specific capstone course outcome this course is laying thefoundation for is to “design systems, components, or processes with realistic constraints such aseconomic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health, safety, manufacturing, andsustainability”.

Design in Engineering Education

].ABET mandates that students have a “major design experience” [1] as part of the universityengineering curriculum. This experience usually consists of a capstone design course (orcourses). These courses are often used to assess the achievement of student outcomes, and anumber of methodologies and rubrics have been developed for this purpose [19-24]. Within thecontext of design skill assessment, specific traits have been studied, including professionalism[25], ethics [26], teamwork [27] and life-long learning [28].Despite the amount of work devoted to assessing design at certain points of student development,typically in introductory and capstone design courses, relatively little exists to measure thechange (and hopefully improvement) of design
