These courses are an importantmethod used to prepare future engineers and help to fulfill many of the requirements specified byABET. Specifically these courses meet ABET criteria 5 which states “Students must be preparedfor engineering practice through a curriculum culminating in a major design experience based onthe knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work and incorporating appropriateengineering standards and

The claim that someamount of non-technical education is beneficial for engineering students is not controversial,regardless of our societal push for ever more technical content at all levels of education[20]–[25].Education beyond the technical is, indeed, encoded in ABET’s accreditation criteria: the criteriafor engineering programs include “a broad education component that complements the technical 3content of the curriculum” [26]. However, this criterion does not specify how this broadcomponent is to be operationalized; many colleges and universities simply include a “generaleducation” requirement for undergraduate engineering

identification,as educators, rivaled their engineering disciplinary identities. One outcome of this broaderprofessional identification was our society—then the Society for the Promotion of EngineeringEducation, as organized during the 1893 World Columbian Exposition. It was these educators‟commitment to what historian Edwin Layton Jr. referred to as an orientation towardsprofessionalism, as opposed to bureaucracy, that made the continued focus on liberal educationand breadth possible within the engineering education community.4This commitment is documented in the long history of studies produced by our society. The 1918Mann Report, originally conceived of back in 1907, focused one part of its investigation on thehumanistic portion of the curriculum. It

education is evident in a key learning outcome criterion set by the AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology (ABET), which states that students are expected todemonstrate “the ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs withinrealistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety,manufacturability, and sustainability” 1. Most four year engineering programs include acornerstone design course in the first year which introduces students to the breadth ofengineering design topics.

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 The Benefits of Internal Design Reviews in an Engineering Capstone CourseAbstractIn a large engineering capstone course, it is important for the instructors (Engineering Directors)to connect with each student team to ensure individual student success as well as overall projectsuccess. A way we have incorporated this into our curriculum is via a sequence of three internaldesign reviews: a Design Approval Review (DAR) held near the end of the first semester, aProject Readiness Review (PRR) scheduled eight weeks before the end of the project, followedfour weeks later by the presentation of a Mandatory First Prototype

minimizing uncertainty to preserving ambiguity.Many undergraduate engineering curriculums are split between learning engineering contentknowledge and its application. For introductory classes in the freshman and sophomore year,engineering problem-solving is paramount and individuals work on close ended problems in theform of problem sets. Upper-level classes focus, in contrast, on open-ended problems andworking in groups, approximating work practice one might find in industry. For some students,the switch is harsh, or at least, seemingly arbitrary. For others, the change is welcome. Workingon problems individually is much different than working in a team to solve some open-ended,authentic situation. Engineering education aims for engineers that can
implement in other problem-solving situations [4]. The majority of CT measures that do not use technology and programming as themedium for measurement are project-specific, examine attitudes towards CT, use a longitudinal approach byexamining a project-based process [3], or do not examine the transfer of CT to situations other thancomputer programming [5].INITIATE is a three-year project that aims to improve high school student engagement in mathematics aswell as attainment of mathematical and CT skills through the integration of project-based learning into thehigh school mathematics classroom. To do so, Career and Technical Education teachers (typically computerscience and manufacturing technology) joined with mathematics teachers in a two-week

Its relevance is acute to engineers who aredirectly involved in enabling the built environment. Accordingly, the well-known ABETengineering accreditation criteria1 requires engineering graduates should be able to “design asystem, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such aseconomic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, andsustainability.” Engineering educators have been making every effort to educate the futureengineers in sustainability and to prepare them with solid knowledge to deal with thesustainability challenges2-6.
