Faculty have the option of scheduling two one hour lectures or one two hour lecture perweek. There are also two lab sessions, two hours each per week. Although the lectures and labsare designated as such, the distinction between lecture and lab at times is blurred since allstudents have laptops (Wentworth Laptop Program/Wireless Campus).

recent accreditation review.Keywords: Capstone Design; Civil Engineering Technology; Intra-Disciplinary; Design BackgroundWentworth Institute of Technology has been an institution in Boston, MA for over 100 years. For generations, studentshave attended Wentworth with the intention of working in design and construction professions. All students have 2separate cooperative education semesters (CO-OP) as part of their experiential learning experience. During theseCO-OPs, civil engineering technology students are exposed to current engineering projects and, often, the latest designand construction means and methods utilized by some of the leading architectural, engineering and construction firms

Lists of prospect students per discipline were prepared ahead of time. These listsconsisted of students who had applied to the University, were qualified for admission, but hadnot yet made the choice to enroll. Each department was asked to supply one or more facultyvolunteers per each of the two nights to staff a phone for an hour or more. The faculty came andwent to each evening as their schedules permitted; beginning at 5:00 pm and ending at around8:00 pm. The volunteers quickly learned how

Indeed, using such measures as HSGPA and prior math course taking duringassessment and placement can increase student access to higher-level courses withoutcompromising success in those courses, particularly for African-American and Latina/o students(Ngo & Kwon, 2015). In addition, there is growing evidence that using diagnostic tests can result in moreaccurate placement in secondary school and in community colleges (Ngo & Melguizo, 2016;Betts, Hahn, & Zau, 2011; Huang, Snipes, & Finkelstein, 2014). In contrast to the single scoresproduced by commonly-used computer-adaptive placement tests such as ACCUPLACER,diagnostics identify student
courses will have to be replaced.At Wentworth, the ‘hands-on’ aspect of education has several meanings, including;demonstrative laboratory exercises in the engineering mechanics, hydraulics, materials and soilmechanics classes, problem-solving laboratory exercise in structural analysis and structuraldesign, software application exercises in highway design, and design experiences in municipalplanning, foundations, earthwork, water and wastewater treatment subjects. Surveying, which isobviously hands-on, is also part of our present curriculum. What of these elements can weretain, or do we need to retain?We must be cognizant of the ‘hands-on’ elements that enhance student learning, and thisassessment is best made internally.

The case study uses the Volkswagen case to highlight the possible ethicaldilemma between the need for greater public and researcher access to vehicle software codeversus the automobile manufacturers’ desire to keep the code proprietary. The paper applies theutilitarian, justice, virtue, and rights frameworks to the case, and shows how students can use theframeworks to analyze a range of ethical dilemmas and to better understand the broad ethicalimplications of open-source software, including questions about software vulnerabilitydisclosures, intellectual property, and public safety.

-chemistry that arenot part of a standard physics or chemistry sequence might be appropriate, especially if they canbe tied to student outcomes and program’s curricular emphasis. Likewise, a course that isprimarily engineering science in content would not fulfill this requirement. It has been longestablished that courses such as thermodynamics, computer science or materials science do notmeet this requirement. Finally, it is also important to note that it is not necessary for all studentswithin a particular program’s curriculum take the same additional area of science.The BOK2 includes two outcomes related to this provision of the CEPC: Outcome 1-Mathematics and Outcome 2-Natural Sciences.
