Sola, et. al.(2017) found that “freshman engineering students were significantly more creative than seniorengineering students … [and] senior engineering students were found to be no better at criticalthinking than their freshman counterparts.”[7]Another example of studying the development of a specific skill is provided by Paretti (2008)who provides suggestions of ways that instructors can assist the development of communicationskills, specifically within capstone design

Pennsylvania.While the benefits to the students are vital, the impact of a co-op program goes beyond thestudents. Industry can gain benefit by obtaining staffing for projects at a substantially reducedrate (and typically without the benefits overhead). Moreover, by hiring interns and co-opstudents, industry can develop a recruiting system that allows them to make better hiringdecisions than can be done via a resume and interview alone.The benefit also extends to the higher education institutions. An organized co-op program canhelp the institution develop relationships with regional and national industry. Thoserelationships can be valuable in many ways.

This is increasingly true in modern society inwhich scientists and engineers must address complex, interdisciplinary challenges on a globalscale. While current efforts at teaching interdisciplinary problem-solving at the collegiate-level(e.g., class projects, capstone courses) exist, the effectiveness of many of these approaches areineffective in achieving interdisciplinary learning objectives.

A paper in the Journal of Engineering Education notes that amovement to move to higher course content on manufacturing in both of these disciplines isneeded8. Many current engineering programs do not emphasize the marriage of design andmanufacturing in a modern industrial technical workforce.Many research studies have assessed the quality of exposure to manufacturing through the senior“Capstone” design project course. McMasters and Lang believe that too few in industry have anunderstanding of how the current engineering education is set-up.

number of authors have urged a moreintegrated approach to developing the whole range of technical and professional skills requiredof engineers (Felder and Brent 2003, Shuman, Besterfield-Sacre, and McGourty 2005). It may beespecially important that programs design courses so that each of the learning outcomes is ad-dressed in more than one or two courses (Felder and Brent 2003). So, outcomes associated withethical responsibility might be taken up in a stand-alone course in ethics and in core engineeringcourses and in the capstone design course, just as other professional skills might be integrated intowhat is otherwise a stand-alone ethics course. As a step toward the goal of greater integration of ethics-related outcomes into the

The instructor can also set bars for specific grade levels such as a C resulting fromfailing a peer evaluation. In all of these systems, missing one element on the overall gradechecklist results in a lower grade.As all elements become pass or fail, the specifications for an assignment must be made veryclear.

), engineering education has seen a shift to the importance of design andproblem solving. The approach has been to educate by specific engineering field [24].Largely, students have relied on internships and coop programs to gain experience in the field.Capstone design projects with external clients are also common in engineering curricula,providing students opportunities to work on real problems with external clients. It is verycommon for students to reflect on these experiences highlighting a greater sense of clarity aboutengineering and its application. Indeed, when asked about their favorite or most impactfulexperience at the time of graduation, it is common that students highlight internship, coop andcapstone design experiences.

They are fairly simple to runand can easily reach over 100 students. However, balsa wood bridge competitions are now facedwith the ever-growing popularity of other competitions related to robotics and rockets, and mostrecently drones. Competing with more flashy activities can make it difficult to attractparticipants, and even volunteers, especially if competition dates overlap.

This is shown in the second selected response, where the student understandsthat the tests they have conducted are applicable in their future career, but shows uncertainty as tospecific applications in research and industry. This conclusion is also supported by Figure 1,which shows that students want more links to industry in their laboratories.However, it should be noted that these students have not undertaken the internship experience thattypically occurs in the surveyed program between their third and fourth years of study, or the finalyear capstone project that has numerous opportunities for students to partner with industry and
