this stage in the project, the authors’ objectives were threefold. The firstobjective was to assess if sophomore and junior students participating in the technicalintegrations of Capstone Design projects reported a better understanding of the technical aspectsof their respective courses (i.e. Fluid Mechanics or Heat Transfer) and gained an appreciation ofhow this material fit into the context of a larger design within the field of chemical engineering.Second, pertaining to the delivery of presentations within the introductory chemical andbiological engineering course, the authors wanted to determine if the presentations gave thefreshman students a greater understanding of the breadth of the chemical engineering discipline.A third objective

between the starting point and the endpoint.The challenge is how firm the decision has to be made at the onset. In this article we suggest arisk mitigation approach that offers a cost impact assessment of a wrong decision versus nodecision at all. The framework in Figure 1 illustrates the dynamics of the decision makingprocess and the need to know the uniqueness of each specific industry. When a decision isrequired it may be better to get on a trajectory that goes in the direction of the midpoint.Compute the cost of that trajectory rather than waiting until you have all the answers at the end.A system engineering and process management approach is taken to introduce the dynamics ofthe longitudinal dimension and offer risk mitigation along that

The program consisted of atwo-day off-site residency to build cohort community, followed by an on-campus day-long event a monthlater focused on developing leadership clarity and personal leadership action plans. In between the twosessions participants worked on a personal leadership assessment project. While each of the classroomsessions had modules with distinct topics, the overall framework of the program centered on leadershipclarity, capability, and community. The program employed a mix of readings, case studies, groupactivities, and focused discussion. Application of the leadership content was geared towards the UDcontext.The first day of the off-site session began with introductions and a discussion about

To date, researchconcerning the MCCS has identified six elements of institutional support: 1) academicperformance, 2) professional development, 3) faculty/staff interactions, 4) extracurricularinvolvement, 5) peer-group interactions, and 6) additional circumstances (for more details onthese dimensions see [1]). Although the MCCS provides a way to identify elements of supportconceptually, subsequent research is needed to measure these areas.

for instructors to assess students’ learning and for studentsto guide their study. There have been numerous studies explaining how to design courseobjectives, as well as how to align teaching and assessing to course objectives43,44. Once theobjectives are done, the next step is to build the structural framework of the course. As illustratedin Fig. 3, this structural framework is generally composed 4-7 course objectives, each courseobjective is met by 2-3 module objectives, and each module objective is met by 3-5 knowledgepoints. If these objectives are mapped to a textbook, the course objectives may correspond tobook chapters, and module objectives generally correspond to book sections. In total, there canbe around 15-30 module objectives for

Additionally, students engaged in an open-ended design projectthat required them to work in teams and practice the ability to assess and utilize rapid prototypingprocesses and select the optimal tool/process to fulfill a design purpose. Regular peer feedbacksessions were implemented within class discussions to provide students with a role-playingscenario where each team would serve as a “user” for another team to practice critical thinkingand learn to empathize with the end-user.

Numerous research efforts have simultaneously centralized on assessing testanxiety due to its relationship with performance measures [19]. Hembree, for instance, reportedthat high levels of test anxiety are negatively correlated with various cognitive components suchas IQ, problem solving, memory, aptitude, and grades [20].
