TheProject Information Sheets are constructed by the Sponsoring Organizations (i.e., the industrysponsors) and include basic information about the sponsor, a point of contact for students whowanted to learn more about the project, and a brief description of the project. The point ofcontact becomes the primary point of contact for the Design Team if the project is selected.The first deliverable associated with the course is a Design Team Selection Report. Each teamconsists of 4-5 student members with one person serving as Project Manager. The purpose ofassigning the Design Team Selection Report is two-fold.

completed a study of retention ofengineering students. The study was conducted for students entering Ohio State as new firstquarter freshmen in Autumn 1988 with a declared interest in completing a degree inengineering. By June 1996, 75% of those students had earned a degree from Ohio State, butonly 37% of the initial group of students had graduated as engineers.At Ohio State, engineering students are not admitted to their major departments until they havefinished a prescribed set of core courses, which usually takes about two years. Our data showedthat after a student was admitted to his or her major department, the probability of completingan engineering degree was greater than 90%. In addition, the average time required to completean engineering

These aspects are brought in naturally into this “education asdesign” framework. In addition to these cognitive goals, design provides a setting in whichimportant aspects of learning such as student ownership of the knowledge and relevance of thesubject can be fostered as an inherent part of the educational setting. Pedagogical andmotivational factors such as teaching knowledge in context, learning through trial and error,extended periods for observation and testing, using the class material, and ethical responsibility,are all

That strategy must address thechanging demographics of technical industries and their workforces. We can meet that challengeby unifying technical leadership fundamentals into an applied experience, internalizingengineering management coursework with a real-life technical leadership scenario that isapplicable across industries.Education research[1] shows that working professional students learn best through case studies,active learning, and project-based activity.

Many faculty members had littletime to devote to advising and keep up with the number of students enrolled in their courses.Thus the typical faculty member was able to offer only reactive and prescriptive advising3. Thisapproach did not provide students with the individual attention needed to meet their specificneeds, whether it include study skills, curricular advice, career planning or referrals to a studentsupport program. Research by Pardee4 noted that most students expect a prescriptive approach to advising,however, others pointed out that simply advising student to address the current crises is toonarrow a focus and leaves the student vulnerable to future crises5,6.
