Teams of 3-4 individuals carry adesign problem from initial problem definition through to working drawings and initialprototypes. The results are presented and delivered to the industrial sponsors.This description of the design sequence at UT illustrates one case where the pendulum has swungto include more physical interaction with the technology being studied. Much more work isneeded to integrate design even more fully in the curriculum while still achieving a goodbalance. Yet, this case does illustrate a significant effort toward this goal.One of the key motivating

Planned AssessmentThe students are evaluated and assessed in multiple stages. The initial assessment isinformal and is performed by the company’s CEO and technology innovation officer. Thisassessment pertains to the student’s progress, overall professional aptitude, andmotivation in the projects being pursued. The second evaluation is a weekly reflectionwhere students write about their week, what they have learned, and what takeaways theyhave from the assigned readings. During class time, these reflections are then discussed. Atthe end of the semester, the students

semester for more work.5. Conclusions In moving from academic to industrial projects, we have found that departmental contactsare most helpful initially. Local industry provides the vast majority of the projects throughalumni and current students, and companies are often willing to offer projects again after theyhave gone through the experience once. Patience is required since many new contacts may resultin only one or two projects. For a relatively small department, such as chemical engineering atUMD, the types of projects obtained are generally dictated by the nature of local industry. The change to industrially supplied senior design projects has been beneficial for thedepartment. It has helped satisfy ABET requirements for

what the problems are and to take corrective action as soon as possible to eliminate the problems. One should always be aware of negative groupthink, self-serving rationalizations, and human tendency not to take criticism well, even when the criticism is on target and completely justified. Such a situation naturally forces some changes, and the initial resistance to it should be overcome without any loss of time. This process could be painful. Sometimes a change in leadership may be necessary. CONCLUSION This paper reflects an engineering educator’s experience in the engineering accreditation process.
