given field, and their level of attainment defines how well-prepared they are to meet jobdemands and excel in the future [16-17]. The general (meta) competencies are skill sets that enable themto function globally, such as to work with others, function in systems and meet organizational demands,and transfer task-specific skills to new challenges or tasks they have not encountered before [18-19].Thus, our goal is to revolutionize our learning community to develop an intentional culture of reflection,wherein members (both students and faculty) develop dispositions of metacognition and self-regulation.The competencies required by future engineers vary from industry sectors and even companies in thesame sector. In addition, recent graduates will

average student grade) reflected that the course was successful insharpening the professional skills of engineering students.An undergraduate project-based learning engineering pilot program 6 was investigated in 2010 toinvestigate the impact of this type of learning on student attainment of ABET identifiedprofessional competencies. In the pilot program, students did not take classes but spent their timesolving complex industry problems that were not well-defined like theoretical textbookproblems. It was found that graduates emerged with integrated technical/professional knowledgesupported by ABET competencies. This initial study indicated that the aforementioned project-based learning program was more beneficial to students’ attainment of

final step was to have OEM engineers lecture on the importance and relevance of theintegration of analysis and experimental techniques. The students’ reflection on collective learningwrapped up the course, and helped to prepare them for competence and relevance in their ownautomotive engineering careers.Course Project PreparationIn order to accomplish the previously described course objectives, two of the faculty membersworked in collaboration with a professional engineer and two additional participants from theOEM research lab. A test setup mimicking the OEM laboratory was constructed (Figure 2), andall components were checked for safety as a practice run was performed in attendance of theprofessional engineer. With the support of the

(graduates) and thereforehave significant interest in the quality of graduates. This of course, assumes thatdissatisfaction by employers of the quality of graduates is fed back to the Joint School (shortfeedback loop) or to the new applicants to the course via student satisfaction surveys,graduate employment statistics, or national /international surveys. These surveys may suggestthe course does not reflect the needs of modern employers.However, there is a third “Buyer Power” force which is little mentioned. The educationsystem itself is a consumer of graduates; either as postgraduates to participate in Masters orPhD level courses, or as new recruits as future researchers and teachers. Furthermore, theunique access available to the education sector
