tactics, the first being restructuring the Civil Engineeringcurriculum to create unique opportunities for nontraditional faculty-student interactions andrelationships [1].One of the central components of the restructured curriculum is the creation of a sequence ofcourses (Springer 1, Springer 2, Junior Studio, and Keystone Design) that incorporate skills andconcepts presented in the traditional Civil Engineering courses offered at Clemson. However,these courses differ from the norm in that they employ a project-based learning approach,thereby exposing students to a collaborative environment consisting of their peers, teams offaculty members, and stakeholders from the greater community. This sequence of coursesculminates in a Keystone Design

And that effectively guides the philosophicalframeworks or curriculum approaches that prepares engineering and engineering technologystudents at all levels for the execution of integrative functions that are particular to therequirements of industrial practice and systems operations and management. Constructivistlearning approach can be crucial in the enablement of sitting professionals making the jump tothe leading edge of the practice-focused engineering that requires massive constructedintellectual fusion.

In one study, Mason [15] explored faculty’sperceptions and approaches to problem solving and found that while teaching problems, facultydecomposed the problem into smaller pieces implicitly with a variety of details. Faculty alsoused reflection as a way of understanding students’ problem solving processes as an informalway of assessment. They felt that having students collaborate with each other to solve a problemresulted in informal rather than structured social learning, although they recognized theimportance of collaboration in the workforce.

Despite these broader options for engineering graduates,much research in engineering education is still focused on binary career paths of “Technical” and“Managerial” paths, as well as “Hybrid” or other career paths [2], [3], [4], [5], [6

. Success in theworkplace for an industrial technologist requires a broad understanding of several areas. Someprojects lend themselves more emphasis in one area than others but a good project will not belimited to one sub-discipline. Further, the discipline of Industrial Technology includes acombination of technical and managerial courses. The capstone project should include activitiesthat cross over technical and managerial areas.Student Reflection So, if a project meets these criteria, how best can students learn from these experiences?Dewey 4 felt that reflection has steps similar to the scientific method. He outlines the followingsteps: suggestion, intellectualization, hypothesis, reasoning and testing. This process requires the

examples. However, it is difficultto provide students with non-trivial examples. The preferred method for industry-based studentexperience is to provide real-life situations that the student must model, which results in anactive learning knowledge construction approach. This method also has drawbacks inestablishing contacts and ensuring the students have sufficient access to develop the models. Byutilizing a virtual model of an actual Boeing line, students are able to view the process andinterrogate the process details. The instructor also has “complete” knowledge of the process asthe instructor was the process designer. This ensures that the process has all the desired featuresto be modeled and allows students to review and correct errors under

Underthese circumstances, non-engineers’ knowledges and skills become important for the solution oftechnical problems. Collected through ethnographic fieldwork and interviews, the data presentedhere show how processes of globalization open engineering practice to the application of non-engineering knowledge by non-engineers to complex technical problems.

Teams usually work collaboratively towards a common goal, and multipleroles on the team contribute towards this purpose [24], [25]. A multidisciplinary team in industry,extends this definition of team by referring to a group of individuals with diverse backgrounds,skills, and expertise working together to achieve a common goal or project objective. These teamstypically integrate multiple disciplines, such as engineering, design, research, marketing, and sales,to develop and deliver a product or service.By combining their expertise, team members can share unique perspectives
