Such a shift would require developing communication skillsoutcomes and assessment methods. These assessments would allow for program evaluation thatgoes beyond faculty leads’ impressions and students’ self-perceptions, providing more objectivemeasures of students’ growth. Finally, faculty and graduate student mentors may need to bebetter prepared for the challenges of working with novice undergraduates on their projects.

For the OEMP integrated into the dynamics course, studentswork in groups to develop mathematical models that describe a real-world scenario [7] [13],which requires that they employ engineering judgement to make assumptions andsimplifications, and to assess the reasonableness of their model and final answer.
