recentnational survey, the Gallup-Purdue Index found that college graduates are almost twice as likelyto be engaged at work and demonstrate increased ability to flourish across multiple areas of well-being if they reported having a job or internship in which they applied what they were learning inthe classroom (Gallup, 2015). In terms of those who hire university prepared students, it is clearthey value work experience and internships as well. Nearly 90% of chief academic officersreported that work experience and/or internships were effective as an enhancement to traditionalclassroom academic work (Inside Higher Ed and Gallup, 2017).

certificate.In 2016, a group of Colorado construction companies led by Rocky Mountain chapter of theAssociated Builders and Contractors and the Associated General Contractors of Coloradoapproached MSU Denver exploring the possibility of creating a new academic major inconstruction project management. Although construction industry is booming in Colorado, wewant to make sure that four-year degree graduates are needed and, if so, what subjects arepreferred in the curriculum. We created a major in construction project management (CPM) withtwo concentrations based upon our survey results. The program was approved by ColoradoDepartment of Higher Education (CDHE) in summer 2016 and officially launched in fall 2016.Currently we have over one hundred declared

Capstoneteams design, develop and fabricate the sponsor’s prototypes. The majority of the funds comingfrom the endowments, however, are earmarked to support Capstone projects. Projects that aregenerated by the student teams that are interested in developing a prototype with market potentialand are serious about commercialization after graduation would have high priority for use ofthese funds. Projects proposed by tenure-track faculty to support their research interests wouldalso rank high in consideration. To date, three Capstone endowments have been created. Asthese endowments begin to generate funds, the ESET faculty will be working together to developthe procedures and processes necessary for funds to be allocated by the Program Coordinator

For each of the rounds,Phil encounters eight worms with an embedded URL displayed when Phil gets closer to it. Phil isawarded 100 points if he is able to eat the good worms and reject the bad worms. At the end of the studythe game was identified as a useful tool for knowledge acquisition and retention.CyberCIEGE, a security awareness tool developed by the Naval Post Graduate School in 2005 employsthe concept of information assurance for education and training.

to the level expected of college graduates. One would expect to see amarked improvement over the intervening years, but that is not what is happening. There is nodiscernable improvement in the writing skills of the new engineer. Is the reason as simple asengineers can’t write, so the result is what it is, or is there a deeper, more pervasive problem thatis not being addressed by industry and academia? Having seen a number of examples over fiftyyears in industry and twenty years in accreditation visits to universities, I believe the problembest fits the second question.In the United States, one of the better known accreditation organizations is ABET, Inc.

As an ancient field of study,philosophy has a rich technical vocabulary, one generally foreign to our students. But that deficitis easily overcome.ResourcesAs noted above, resources related to engineering ethics are depressingly vast.

The outcomes of the project wereevaluated against ABET learning outcomes summarized in Table 2. Performance assessment andfeedback were done through the evaluation of biweekly submitted reports. There were four maincategories toward the final GPA of the students: biweekly and final draft reports (15%), finalreport (50%), presentation (25%), and team work evaluation (10%).

blockchain protocol. Simplystated, a blockchain is a sequenced structure of data that is secured using some time ofcryptographic signature. A blockchain can also be characterized as a decentralized distributedledger. Each ledger, or block, contains some kind of data, typically data transactions, such asBitcoin transfers [1]. These ledgers are distributed among a secure blockchain network. In thisblockchain network, the transactions must be verified. To ensure high quality security, thenetwork transactions can only be verified if the majority of users in the blockchain approve the Proceedings of the 2019 Conference for Industry and Education Collaboration Copyright ©2019, American Society for Engineering Education
