Ideally, Senior Design teams are also cross-functional, tobroaden the projects and better replicate the professional world. In addition, there is a growinginterest in linking Senior Design with entrepreneurial activities, even to the point ofcommercializing

Interestingly, the highestrated item on the Likert scale for both AREN and CVEN students of teamwork was ranked only3rd or 5th highest on the BOK2 survey. Perhaps the context of administered the BOK2 survey inthe capstone design course which is based on team design projects impacted the ratings. Designand problem solving outcomes were consistently rated high by either method. It is significant tonote that even some of the lowest ranked items on the BOK2 survey (i.e. contemporary andhistorical perspectives) had average Likert ratings above moderately important (3 on the Likertscale

The Design Spine allows development of many of the “soft skills”demanded of engineering graduates, as embodied in ABET Criteria 2000, by evolving them overthe four years of the design sequence. It is also a means to enhance learning, as each of the designcourses is linked to engineering courses taught concurrently.

They include structural engineering, project management/scheduling andestimating, and team work. In addition, undergraduates also perceive that their understanding ofhealth and safety issues, and ethical considerations has also increased. In contrast, graduatestudents believe that their knowledge of hydraulics/hydrology/water resources, constructabilityand economic factors has been enhanced by work experiences.I.
