students on the path toskill development, it is critical to assess whether or not they intend to change their behaviorsbased on the feedback with which they have been provided. The theory of planned behavior16postulates that behavioral intentions are the most proximal construct to behavioral change, asthey represent one’s attitude towards that behavior. This then captures the effort they are willingto expend in order to engage in that behavior and their motivation to engage in that behavior andimprove upon it. However, the role of intentions in future behavior is qualified by individuals’volitional control over the behavior in question, which is the control the individual has over theirability to engage in that behavior16.

Additionally, we believe that having awelcoming, inclusive environment is a precursor to improving diversity and thus should be animportant consideration in mechanical engineering education. We propose that introducing a fewcarefully designed practices that require very few resources and cause minimum disruption couldresult in a more welcoming and inclusive environment.Bringing about change for a more inclusive environment can be challenging, namely in that itcan be disruptive and require resources, but careful planning and strategic use of resources canhelp alleviate these challenges.

This practice is often used toevaluate the effectiveness of a course as well as to identify any need for coursemodifications and improvements. When assessment is in the form of a test, then theadministration, collection and the final aggregate report generation becomes a timesconsuming task that often introduces delays in planning. In this paper we present a web-based software tool that is primarily designed and developed for automating the courseassessment process. It automates the test creation, grading and the final reportgeneration that can help save time, reduce errors and produce variety of reportsummaries for better decision making.1

The projects have always been realprojects for clients with real needs.Early in capstone projects, the groups’ work often required the expertise of a faculty member tomentor field and lab work even though that faculty member was not the team coach or courseinstructor. The field and lab work can be of lesser quality because the teams failed to adequatelyuse the faculty expert to plan their work.
