Paper ID #16232Engineering Competency ModelMs. Catherine Leslie, Engineers Without Borders - USA Ms. Leslie is a licensed Civil Engineer in Colorado with over 20 years of experience in the design and management of civil engineering projects. After ten years as Civil Engineering Manager at Tetra Tech, Inc., she assumed the role of Executive Director of Engineers Without Borders–USA, a position she held on a volunteer basis for six years. Ms. Leslie began her work in developing countries as a Peace Corps Volunteer. Stationed in Nepal, she developed solutions related to drinking water and sanitation projects. During the
Engineering course in the fall semester of 2019 were all givenopen-ended design projects. Each section was given a problem statement with some commonrequirements but with different degrees of autonomy. The autonomy varied in scope andconstruction materials allowed. The open-ended design projects spanned nine weeks. Studentswent through activities such as pain point discovery, information collection and synthesis,problem definition, brainstorming solutions, design decision, project management, proposalpresentation, construction and testing, final presentation and demonstration. Each week studentswere given a Situational Motivation Scale (SIMS) survey [14] to measure their motivation. ABasic Needs Satisfaction Scale survey [15, 16] was given at the end
60miles of the local metropolitan area. The heart of our partnership with industry for studentsuccess is the Engineering Senior Design and Internship. A one-semester internship and the two-semester design project requirement provide the program a reason to engage and involveindustry partners. Students typically complete their internship with an engineering firm prior totheir senior year. During the internship, they often identify a Senior Design project. When thisoccurs, the company’s project manager oversees project progress and the obtaining of thecompany’s objectives. On the academic side, a project advisor coordinates with the company toensure that the project meets all of the engineering programs Student Outcomes and LearningObjectives. The

In this case, those stakeholdersincluded engineering education faculty and department leadership, Ph.D. students at variousstages within the program, and industrial advisory committee members, all totaling nearly 25people. The IAC members represented organizations including large consumer products firms,heavy industrial equipment manufacturers, major airlines, and small consulting firms.Continuing the comparison of design/development of this course to engineering design activitiesused in industry, the capture of the so called voice of

BOOST was designed to helpstudents identify more with engineers who care about their community, think critically andpersevere to deliver engineering projects which serve their community. We present results herethat indicate that we are beginning to meet those goals.Service Learning in Engineering Design and During Freshmen-sophomore TransitionMost universities recognize that the transition from high school to college requires extra supportand therefore offer college summer bridge programs.

During the course of the program, we engaged in an intensive exploration ofopportunities to commercialize prior NSF TUES project on improving diagnostic skills forengineering and technology students 1 . Our goal was to identify industrial partners so that thediagnostic training programs can be adopted or adapted to tackle practical problems. During themonth-long customer interactions, the team had interviewed over 100 potential clients, themajority of whom were engineers, managers, and directors of operations in heavy industry likeenergy, manufacturing, or health care sector. At the beginning of this process, we did not have aclear vision
