requirements on what each organization’s peer-mentorship program shouldlook like could have negative or counterproductive effects. For instance, the Eco-Car groupconsists of students at all levels, where they work throughout the year to design and build a carused to compete in an international competition. Their mentorship needs focused largely ontraining new students to understand the complexities of designing and building the car. The EtaKappa Nu electrical engineering honor’s society, however, consists mainly of juniors andseniors. The needs of their peer-mentorship program focused on helping to grow and sustaintheir organization. It was obvious that the same peer-mentorship model would not work for eachorganization.

depth and breadth in the subject area with significant flexibility in coursechoices enriched by the liberal arts. The new biomedical engineering curriculum consists of 130credit hours spanning a 4-year academic plan. The program curriculum consists of five integratedcourses in biomaterials and biomechanics, three integrated courses in medical instrumentation andimaging, one course in design and development, two elective courses, and two capstone designcourses, as well as courses in general engineering and basic sciences. Six biomedical engineeringcourses include laboratory components. A pre-med track is available for the students. The programis unique in that it shares a common first year with other engineering programs and that it mergeswith
engineering skills associated with design andcommunication and on personal characteristics associated with good teamwork and effectiveleadership. Small group discussion related to course readings are used to increase studentunderstanding of abstract engineering concepts. Design projects are used to facilitate studenttransfer of their understanding to new contexts.The course sequence has been piloted in the Mechanical Engineering program and was shown tobe quite successful with regard to student achievement and student satisfaction. Plans are beingmade for college-wide implementation of a similar freshman experience emphasizing skill andpersonal characteristic development.1.0 IntroductionThe issues of engineering student engagement and persistence and

Civil engineering works in private practice include planning, designing,constructing as well as operating physical facilities, and in public practice involve city orregional planning and layout construction of highways. At the University of Florida, twograduate courses are examined: Public Works Management for Civil Engineers introduces civilengineering graduate

The outcome that requires an understanding of asset management suggests the use oftools and techniques that include “design innovations, new construction technologies, materialsimprovements, geo-mapping, database management, value assessment, performance models,web-based communication, and cost accounting.” As program assessments become moredetailed, the commentary will need to be examined carefully. In the USMA assessments, thefaculty team made general judgments, but did not have to define
. Every program has as an underlying goal the encouragement ofunderrepresented groups and role modeling. Role modeling is done by carefully selecting thepresenters. Most presenters have received training in presenting to diverse audiences, but genderand ethnicity issues are never discussed unless a student asks a question. Most presenters arefemale or belong to an underrepresented ethnic group. In addition, presenters are careful tochoose a diversity of examples that will appeal to a wide variety of students. (For example,consumer items like CD players are used as examples of engineering design rather thanracecars.) *The outreach assessment plan for the College of Engineering presently consists of severalcompanion elements.

CourseStudents in the Mechanical Engineering Technology program are required to take one SystemsDesign course during the last year of their program. Students are assigned to design a system orsystems that require use of the knowledge that they have acquired in lower level courses.Sometimes, if the project is large enough, they are assigned a group project. "ETME 475-Mechanical Systems Design" course is a three credit-hour course, carrying 2 credit-hours for thelecture and one credit-hour (two contact-hours) for laboratory. For lecture part of the ETME 475-Mechanical Systems Design course, several chapters from “Engineering Design” by GeorgeDieter and Linda Schmidt [8] were covered.

MethodsTo evaluate the collaboration between an SPM and an ISD course, we used a combination ofmethods to collect data related to student learning and experience. In the rest of this section, wefirst describe the two courses of interest, then the nature of the collaboration between them, andfinally the data collection methods we used.3.1 The Introduction to Software Development and the Software Project Management CoursesThe two courses that are subject of this study are offered in the context of a computer scienceprogram and a software engineering program hosted in the same department. Both programsgrant only Bachelor of Science degrees in computer science and software engineeringrespectively. The computer science program is an established

The third year continues the progression of sk ills development and projects are drawnfrom industry, government and non-profits.

The prompt presented to participants is: Design a wearable device for a human,animal, or both, to address a “One Health” related issue. The One Health Initiative2 bringslight to issues at the intersection of human, animal, and environmental health. This promptencourages creativity in the brainstorming
leadership pedagogy, but are also confronted with disciplinespecific needs and a rapidly changing world. Given the breadth of the engineering profession,and the lack of an engineering leadership domain definition, specific program objectives in placetoday depend in large part upon the worldview of those administrating the program or teachingthe course. A literature review on the topic revealed a broad field of perspectives indicative ofthe early stages of domain definition.2 Thus, program facets related to engineering leadership(e.g., innovation and technology product design, and managing complex systems) requireprogram-specific assessment to determine efficacy. Other outcomes such as knowledge ofleadership theory, leadership skills, and project
– engineering excellence. The keys to our success have been how we have solvedthe issues of team organization, advisor management, and sponsor support. Over a four-yearperiod we have developed a system of organic leadership building and flexible staffing ofengineering problems. The advisors have learned to both motivate and manage the team, whiletaking care of administrative roadblocks. We have also developed an extensive network ofcomponent and service sponsors; without whom, a project at this level is impossible. Of course,along with all of these important programmatic developments, it is still the engineering and apush to continually innovate with respect to the design, the engineering, and the fabricationprocess that has led to the success of the

ABET accredits programs in the United States while the Canadian EngineeringAccreditation Board (CEAB) accredits programs in Canada. In each system, the ability of astudent to consider the constraints of economics and incorporate economics into engineeringdesigns, projects and considerations is a requirement. As such, engineering programs must offerEngineering Economics in their programs and often fulfill this requirement with a coursededicated to this topic though it could be fulfilled in other courses such as design courses.As part an internal improvement study
