that “As we seek to improve our defenses,we also need to recognize the importance of educating our workforce so that there is a seamlesstransition between educational facilities and industries” (p. xii).Special emphasis in that program should be on ‘social engineering’, how to recognize it, andhow to deal with such intrusions. Ricart, et el. (2013)14 note the impact of this threat and writes: “According to a 2011 study by Internet security firm Check Point, 48% of the largest international organizations have experienced 25 or more social engineering attacks in the two years before the study, costing the organizations from US$25,000 to US$100,000 per incident. The impact of a social engineering attack can be significant
).If Oregon and neighboring states choose to adopt licensing laws related to PS 465, students willneed to have advanced-level education to become licensed professional engineers. As such, thecivil engineering faculty at Oregon Tech proposed and gained permission to offer an MSCEdegree, which would allow the civil engineering department to continue to fulfill its objective toprepare students for professional practice.Institutional ChangeThe decision to offer an MSCE program was also institutionally influenced. Oregon Tech hasstrategically been moving away from associate’s degrees and toward advanced degrees. Thenumber of master’s degrees offered at Oregon Tech has tripled in the last four years and moreare in the proposal phase for
2018, in comparison with the average of 7-13% for all occupations.[ ] Chemical, mechanical, and electrical engineers play an important and expanding role in this burgeon-ing field because the fundamental core principles of each discipline are critical to biomedical mainstayssuch as the design of artificial organs. While the number of biomedical engineering degrees granted an-nually is increasing, many biomedical engineers have a background in chemical, mechanical, or electricalengineering with some specialized biomedical training. Engineering programs in these disciplines strug-gle to squeeze bio-related topics into their already-crowded curricula, yet undergraduate engineering stu-dents are rarely exposed to real biomedical topics through

aprofessionally focused, two-semester capstone program involving 10-20 sponsors from thepublic and private sectors and undergraduate teams guided by graduate student-mentors andfaculty advisers. As they are able, sponsors provide a financial contribution for the project workdone by the team. However, the work is performed and provided to the sponsor “as is”, meaningthat it is not stamped by a professional engineer and no warranties are given. Most sponsorsreturn to the program each year, even as new sponsors have been added. The class is divided intoteams of three or four students. The class is educated on topics relevant to professional practicessuch as team building and professional engagement, namely, Request for Qualifications (RFQ),Statement of
available funds continue toshrink3, civil engineers must be able to assist public agencies and private organizations in theallocation decisions related to the use of limited financial resources. Therefore, their ability todevelop effective alternative analyses represents a vital skill for their professional activity.Currently, decision making and critical thinking are not emphasized in most undergraduate civilengineering degree programs; instead, the undergraduate education focuses on technical skillsand closed ended problem solving4. In an effort to have undergraduate civil engineering (CE)students develop a greater awareness of critical thinking and an ability to critically think,researchers in the Department of Civil Engineering have conducted a

enrollment began their college careers outside engineering.1Many programs have been put in place to recruit students into engineering fromunderrepresented groups,2,3 but fewer programs exist to recruit from among students alreadyenrolled in universities and the nature of the engineering curriculum makes it difficult for manystudents to switch into engineering once they have chosen a different academic pathway.Most people who apply to colleges of engineering “always wanted” to be engineers or at leastthey had decided by the time they were seniors in high school that engineering was going to betheir career path. Many identify as being “good at math and science” and therefore engineeringmade sense to them.4 Others like to build things or got involved

Typically, projects are proposed bycorporate sponsors, frequently employers of the students or corporations looking for answers to aproblem through the lead faculty (faculty in charge of program). As a result, students deal withreal problems of significant issue to the sponsor and typically involve engineering, technology,science, and business related issues. Interdisciplinary teams of two to three students are assignedto each project. These teams work with faculty members and representatives of the sponsors todevelop detailed, implementable solutions. At the end of the course, students present the projectpresentations to
