four credits per semester; also, this amount of time enables ambitious projects thatindustry is willing to sponsor. We also assess each outcome in at least one other course, typicallyin a way that is analogous to a corresponding activity in capstone. Thus, our capstone sequenceand our assessment system are woven together. This paper describes our assessment tools,focusing on their use in capstone; many of the tools are used together to overcome the challengesnoted above.In describing a comprehensive assessment system for the current ABET student outcomes, thispaper is similar in approach to some previous ones. Battistini and Kitch [1] describe acomprehensive assessment system for a new civil engineering program that recently earnedABET

toward implementing active learning strategies. At a high level, case studiesacross Botswana (Tabulawa, 2003), South Africa (Harley et. al, 2000; Nykiel-Herbet 2004), andTanzania (Vavrus, 2009) highlight four salient barriers to curricular change: 2 1. Educators’ training on and personal experiences in learner-centered approaches is often limited (Coultas and Lewin, 2002; Schweisfurth, 2015); 2. A lack of available resources in physical learning environments can inhibit implementation of learner-centered approaches (Schweisfurth, 2015) 3. Cultural expectations at the institutional and national level (eg., appropriate educator

andcost-effective methods due to its energy density. It offers a vast range of speed and torque. Animportant characteristic of a hydraulic system is the multiplication of force. Because of this feature,hydraulics are pioneers in the field of heavy load handling. Large load handling would requiresophisticated electronic control and extensive mechanical arrangements with lots of gears andpulleys if tried to execute without hydraulics. A hydraulic circuit consists of some majorcomponents such as prime mover, pump, fluid conductor (hose, tubing, pipe), reservoir, directionalcontrol valve, and hydraulic actuator (cylinder and motor). It also consists of additional supportcomponents such as pressure relief valve, filter, and pressure gauge. Figure 1

We also discuss the steps forwardto make this collaboration a model for other courses in our curriculum at our institution.IntroductionStrong writing skills are crucial for competitiveness in STEM fields. Clear and cogent writingand communication skills are critical competencies as identified by ABET (Accreditation Boardfor Engineering and Technology) [1], and the National Academy of Engineering [2]. Today’ssuccessful engineer must master more than one competency (see figure 1), includingcommunication and writing skills, which comprise between 20%-40% of an engineer’s workday:writing project proposals, memoranda, business letters, and e-mails

Of those who did expressfrustration, most suggested that using the other approach would have led to increased frustrationin learning the material.KeywordsProgramming, First-year Engineering, Programable Microcontrollers, ArduinoIntroductionAt Northeastern University College of Engineering, all first-year students follow a commoncurriculum, as part of a “Cornerstone to Capstone” educational program adopted in 2014 [1].

As such, it is vital toexplore trends over time and find new potential avenues to attract students to computing.Developing a better understanding of students’ trajectories, and potentially the variable ways theymay enter the major before obtaining their degrees, can offer avenues for recruitment. Weconducted a quantitative analysis of switching behaviors using the Multiple-Institution Databasefor Investigating Engineering Longitudinal Development (MIDFIELD). The theoreticalframework of intersectionality guided the inquiry as we examined patterns and disaggregatedthem by gender, race, and ethnicity. We sought to explore trends in switching behaviors for thoseentering computing, including potential variations in: 1) the major in which

animportant aspect of the engineering profession. Accreditation boards across North America havecalled for engineering educators to equip engineering graduates with leadership capabilities toallow engineers to take on a more prominent role in technological, societal and businessadvancement [1], [2]. As a result, there has been increased focus and research aroundengineering leadership, both in terms of defining what it is (for example, [3], [4]), as well asidentifying the associated skills and effective pedagogical practices for teaching it [5]–[7].Engineering educators are working on closing the gap between the leadership needs of industryand the capability of engineering graduates.

As they advance in capability and increase in adoption, studies have shown autonomousvehicles can reduce accidents and traffic congestion [1]. The race to achieve full autonomy isundoubtedly here and many companies are taking part in it. Although the closest purchasable fullyautonomous vehicles are those with adaptive cruise control (ACC), there are now driverless, fullyautonomous commercial vehicles on the roads in the United States.
