Methodologies laid out in thePMBOK or Agile focus too much on project management skills, like scoping, risk assessment,and scheduling. Discipline-specific bodies of knowledge, like the ASCE BOK, which focuses oncivil engineering, is not relevant to computer or mechanical engineering capstone projects.

Students learn how to select beamor column dimensions and an appropriate amount and location of reinforcement to satisfy shear,flexure, and/or axial demands. Students may also learn how to calculate deflections ofreinforced concrete beams to meet serviceability requirements. Because a good design meetscode requirements and preferences ductile failure modes, students need to develop a foundationalunderstanding of the behavior of these members.

States, interest in advancing curriculum and pedagogical practices date back to the late19th century [2]. However, the acknowledgement of engineering education as a formalresearch field is relatively new [3, 4]. It is a global movement where research on engineeringeducation, and creation of associations, conferences, graduate programs, and even newacademic departments for engineering education research (EER) are happening worldwide [5,6].In order to advance EER, researchers have investigated many aspects of the field itself, includingefforts to legitimize engineering education research [3, 7], introducing new research methods anddesigns [8], increasing methodological rigour [9, 10], investigating successful collaborations[11] and resolving

The imbalance of men and women appears most dramatically in computer science,information technology and engineering [1]. In the case of Massachusetts, “with respect togender, the state reflects the national trends with 58% of young adults in college comprised ofwomen. However, on a national scale only 12% of students choosing to major in computerscience/IT were women, while in the state of Massachusetts this was 9%” [2]. “In
