As a result, engineering students made up a majority of the twenty-fourstudents enrolled in the course. The remainder were sociology and psychology students.

We utilized a number of psychological instruments tomeasure constructs which we believe underlie the course goals described above. Initial resultsindicate that the most significant gains experienced by the students were in their moralreasoning, school and peer attachment, and design and self-directed learning self-efficacy. Wealso observed that retention of students at the end of the year was strongly predicted bysatisfaction with the experience and learning self-efficacy

institutional focus on honorable behavior is considerable.After considerable deliberation, the independent-study grading model was adopted, with themodification that the student would face the same final exam as his peers, and that the score onthat final would be a major factor in determining the final grade. This philosophy of evaluationcan be summarized as flexible but verifiable. It was particularly important that the grading andevaluation scheme be relatively “bulletproof”, given that this was a test case and might drawconsiderable scrutiny from unforeseen persons or organizations. The shared closely-proctoredfinal exam administered at the home institution upon return was judged to be fair, illustrative ofthe student’s level of achievement, and
