However, we will not have assessments from the fullwriting integration program until 2023 when the first cohort that experienced the total integrationgraduates. Until then, we will only use the scores based on the general education writingassessment to compare the engineering students with others across campus.This is the first offering of our senior capstone design course. Therefore, we did not have anyfindings or observations except the writing requirements for the course at the time of this paper.In the senior capstone design course, each team will be completing a formal project

The other useful feature of the course is that it is also proving to be a convenient vehiclefor discussing or incorporating advances in technology and discussing current events.

In this model the fundamental conceptsof mathematics and science are viewed as content that is prerequisite to practice anddelivered to students as abstracted cognitive instruction through a sequence of lectures,tutorials and examinations. Despite a strong demand by engineering stakeholders forincreased emphasis on engineering ability and professional competencies, there is littleopportunity within this model for these to be addressed within the types of authentic contextsthat are required if learning is to be situated as practice3. While Capstone project-baseddesign courses have found their place as culturally acceptable vehicles for many of theengineering ability and

The student presentations are group oriented and focus on the results of thestudents’ design efforts. In the capstone design course, ISE 4005/4006, oral communication hashistorically been emphasized from a number of different perspectives. As the student teams areinvolved in a number of meetings with their faculty advisors, the course coordinator, and thecompany contacts, basics of planning and conducting meetings are discussed.

For example, a recent article in Forbes magazine detailedthe pioneering work in STEM education initiated at the Harvey Mudd College in 1963. Thearticle describes how the “Clinic Program” paired a small group of students with a facultyadvisor/faculty member for approximately one year. The faculty member would assign the groupof students a current challenge of a selected industry partner. The students would then attempt todevelop prototypes, create new manufacturing processes, deliver code, and analyze data toaddress the challenge. The highly successful Clinic Program has served as a model forengineering departments around the country with capstone project adoption

In this vignette, the Team Member was to express concerns about calculation results, and the Team Leader was to respond in a such a way as to promote psychological safety. During the debrief for each vignette, the Observers led the discussion by sharing what they saw that promoted psychological safety and what they saw that hindered or removed it.Methods: This project was predicated on the research question: Does teaching psychological safety improve teaming experiences for first-year students?

This involvedthe development of direct and indirect assessments for each of the 3Cs [16]. With thisdevelopment, we modified our learning objectives to meet our EML goals and created rubrics tomeasure student performance with each assessment type [17]. As it currently stands, the honorscourse sequence also consists of two courses where the second course (ENGR 1282) is designedto provide students with the knowledge of engineering fundamentals as well.

]. Between accreditation requirements, general education courses andother school/department policies and obligations, there is a very limited number of credits thatcan be dedicated to classes that focus mainly on specific industry code, standards and commonpractices.To approach this problem, educators typically respond by introducing industry standards andpractices through projects/case studies in higher-level courses (usually 300/400 levels) and, morecommonly, in capstone projects and internships [11]. However, the authors believe that thisapproach may limit students' exposure to industry standards and practices to only the onesdirectly related to their projects. Moreover, students may sometimes confuse industry standardsand codes with textbook
