In engineering education, scoring rubrics have been used in the performance evaluation of awide range of ABET and other outcomes, including professional skills [10], ethics [11], writingskills [12], design competency [13, 14], and students’ software skills [15]. The motivation to usescoring rubrics in engineering education also is due to the lack of satisfaction emanating from theuse of the traditional grading process which have been criticized for their bias, and unrealisticstandards [2, 9, 15].

In short, the PE has completedseveral steps (post-bachelor’s degree) that indicate a high level of commitment to professionalknowledge and competency. These steps typically include passing an 8-hour fundamentals exam,completing four years of progressive engineering experience in a particular field of engineering(under the supervision of a PE), and then passing an 8-hour exam testing knowledge gainedduring the candidate’s period of apprenticeship. Once obtained, the engineer is obligated to meetboth a professional standard of care and code of professional ethics to maintain the license.When is a PE license required?

A student’s affect has the capability to greatlyimpact their school experience: it has also been found that a positive affect correlates to highersuccess in school [1]. A student’s emotions can impact their cognitive functioning [2], theiremotional intelligence and abilities to work with other students [3] and can affect ethical decisionmaking [4].

A few of the papers defined the steps of the design process and includedsocial elements such as “identify a design need” and “research a design need” (A3, p.74). Thesewould need to be further defined in order to ensure students were properly considering the needsof their users and the impact on society. For example, one paper further defined the outcome tobe “Appreciate and consider the non-technical constraints (ethical, political, aesthetic,environmental, economic, cultural, etc.) in their work” (A5, p.2).Many of the findings which came out of the research also reflected on the importance offurthering this connection to society.

In an undergraduate engineering curriculum verticalintegration has previously been used to improve student engagement through concurrent teachingand utilization of the concepts. More specifically, in an engineering design course a combinationof professional, ethical, technical, or communication skills are both taught and used [7, 8]. Vertical integration can give students exposure to design skills prior to a fourth yearcapstone project; yet, it does not inherently provide a context for the experience.
