These documents were selectedfrom 4 different semesters: Spring 2018 (n = 56), Fall 2019 (n = 32), Fall 2020 (n = 25) andSpring 2021 (n = 41). The SD design documents covered a range of topics related to theengineering disciplines taught in the College of Engineering. The student teams, which aretypically made of 3-4 students, could have members from any of the engineering disciplines,although students tended to select SD projects that best matched their major. The SD projecttopics tended to have a focus in one engineering discipline, for example Bioengineering, butcould have elements of other disciplines, such as Mechanical or Electrical engineering.

As a result, students who engage in WILs enhancetheir understanding of the cultures, norms, and skills essential to support their success in theworkplace environment [1]-[5]. In addition, these experiences tend to strengthen their technicaland interpersonal skills, which in turn have the potential to translate into improved academicperformance [6] and a broadened network [7]-[8]. As students work alongside engineers in thefield, they can take ownership of important projects that can influence their communities anddrive innovation and growth in a company [1],[7].

[31] indicate that undergraduate student tuition is used to subsidize re-search. As a result, the natural question being asked by both students and educational institutions Page 23.1200.3is exactly what students are getting for their money. This is applying a certain pressure on phys-ical academic institutions to improve and enhance the in-person educational experience of theirstudents.Students are not the only ones demanding higher outcomes from educational

We propose thatby inventorying the skills related to the global design and manufacturing of automotiveparts, useful new curriculum content might be identified.The Project Setting: From Shanghai/Pudong to DetroitUntil very recently, the Chinese government required foreign manufacturers to locate inChina only through joint ventures. These joint ventures imply a certain level ofgovernment oversight including location. Parts destined for export may requiremanufacturing plants to be located in special, regulated industrial parks.

Most teams have a majority of mechanical engineeringstudents with a minority of systems engineering or electrical engineering students.

and epistemic curiosity, engineering identity, and self-efficacy will be used to gauge student progress [2]. As a result, the Industrial Engineering (IE)department adopted the ECP idea with a focus on implementing home-based hands-on activitiesfor two courses. Learning a specific idea can start at any point, but the ECP concept starts withthe presentation of an experiment to teach the students a theory. This greatly improves thestudent's ability to retain the taught theoretical topic. The ECP concept is based on the MobileStudio project designed by the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to boost students' interest andsuccess in electrical engineering [3].

Program: Students’ PerspectivesAbstractEffective advising ensures students take the proper classes to stay on track for their graduation.For example, in an engineering curriculum, it is crucial that students maintain the propersequence of courses that results in the culmination of the program's required capstone designcourse(s). Any human error during the advising process can risk the disruption of the smoothprogression through the program for a student. Thus, a computerized web-based advising toolcan be highly useful to eliminate such human errors in identifying the most needed coursesduring an advising session. Currently, many advising tools are available through commercialbusinesses or developed by those working in the field of education. In
