Perhaps the most rewarding on-campus activity, asdiscussed below, has been the involvement of these students in laboratory development,primarily through senior design classes (Capstone projects).3. The Laboratory Beginning in 2000, the faculty began a concerted effort to develop and equip a newlaboratory in the Energy Systems area. The focus of the efforts was to create a modernlaboratory that would allow us to explore concepts at a system level and then graduallyexpose students to the details of individual pieces of equipment, including design, testingand operational issues. The “Systems” approach, outlined in Table 1, is consistent with ourrecent curriculum review. It

Leadership effectiveness is evaluated most often by measures of team performance.Thus, providing for the development of both teamwork and leadership skills in the engineeringcurriculum will better prepare graduates for success in the real world.Today's accreditation criteria also specify that the inputs of constituents must be considered inthe process of continuous improvement of the engineering curriculum.

escapes the undergraduate engineering curriculum,or else, is confined to a technical writing course taught by non-engineers. With the trend toreduce four-year engineering programs to 128 student credit hours, it is hard to imagine a 1- or 2-credit course devoted exclusively to career development. Thus, another means of accomplishingit is to include career development activities in one or more required engineering courses. Assuch, all students in the program are obliged to participate in and, presumably, benefit from theseactivities.The six career development activities described in this paper are a small fraction of all that isneeded to prepare students for entering and staying in the workforce.
