This question forms the motivation for this study. We have implementedand analyzed several assessment instruments geared to measure our students’ level ofachievement in one class. We limited the study to Statics (ME 14) due to the consistently highlevel of enrollment during the Summers of 2001 through 2003, as well as the fact that one of the1 The Summer session at UCSB is structured in such a way that two six-week sessions are offered (as opposed toone ten-week “quarter” during the

RUP is a tailor-able software process, and Rational has predefined several road maps for developmentdomains like component development and e-business. In fact, one could tailor RUP tothe point that it describes one of the agile processes. However, doing so would removesome foundational RUP philosophies where RUP and XP disagree. For example RUP isnot comfortable with the practices of Collective Ownership, Continuous Integration, andmost importantly producing software architecture through constant Refactoring.3 CET 415 CourseThe Division of Computing Studies (CST) at Arizona State University created the appliedsoftware process course

EthicsThere are good grounds for making this connection between sustainability and ethics althoughengineering academia has only recently recognized the importance of focusing on this link in thegeneral education and technical parts of the curriculum. As evidence of this, Herkert argues thatdespite ABET’s requirement that engineering schools address “sustainability” and “ethics”, only“17% of institutions and 8% of graduates do have one or more required courses with ethics-related content, these courses are usually not courses in engineering per se, but rather courses insuch areas as philosophy or religion”[3]. In these courses, sustainability is not generally pairedwith ethics.Twenty-first century engineering demands a paradigm shift in the way

The items assessing the conscientiousness and intellect domains were drawn from the BigFive Personality Inventory found in the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) 4.Conscientiousness was chosen as a possible predictor of success in engineering since it isimportant for handling the immense amount of technical material that must be learned. Theintellect items measure the student’s feelings of intellectual adequacy. A positive belief in one’sability is critical for motivation to work on complex problems until a solution is found.Conscientiousness and intellect were measured initially with 42 items

If, however, we consider the overallobjective of preparing engineers for practice and the importance of integration within theengineering curriculum, it becomes apparent that Criterion 4 (reproduced below) merits at leastas much attention.

This type of “isolated learning” is no longer acceptable asnowadays the industry demands engineers not only with a broad set of technical skills, but also acomprehension of the diverse practical applications of engineering concepts. Engineering andEngineering Technology education must provide integrated experience at the undergraduate levelto fulfill the expectations of the industry1-3. This paper describes an on-going project to develop a multipurpose laboratory that can beused for multiple Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology (EET) courses in the Division ofEngineering Technology (DET) at Wayne State University (WSU). The development aims toprovide an integrative experience at the undergraduate level to help students better
