Often theseprojects pertain to their capstone design courses or student clubs such as SAE formula hybrid. MATLAB Grader was first introduced in Fall 2020 to the “Introduction to Finite ElementMethods” course primarily for the purpose of simplifying the linear algebra computationspreviously performed on hand-written assignments so that students could more easily focus onthe conceptual process therein [13] [14]. While this could have been done simply within thedesktop version of MATLAB or another coding language, there is a danger that errors would betoo difficult to diagnose by the

While abroad, involvements in the Innovation team projects will be “virtual”, but will be required.

Only a person who has worked ona real world engineering project is best qualified to assess whether a student capstone designproject is realistic and relevant. If practitioners are needed, then there needs to be a careertrack where their services can be valued and rewarded. Practitioners are typically includedon the faculty as adjunct professors. They are paid less and not viewed as full-fledgedpartners. Most do not have the Ph.D. credential that accords equal status. The advantage ofthis system is that the practitioner faculty member is typically teaching as a side job, while heis working in a firm as a primary job and continues to stay current in professional practiceand can bring those

Annual assessment doesn’t need to be a burden if it’s organically rooted in a course. • EAMU provides a more robust system that is more than just a pass/fail criteria, leading to better assessment. • Currently, the Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Program is relying largely on analytic, in-class data for assessment. An additional layer that will be conducted through a capstone audience survey is planned to be implemented this year as a more holistic, qualitative approach, but the survey will be in the form of a rubric to overlay on the EAMU vector.ConclusionWhen programs adopt the new ABET Criterion 3 Student Outcomes, it is important to recognize that a robustassessment

While our study cannot answer these larger questions,it shows that these interventions can be integrated into an STS course without being “tacked on,”and that engineering students who are exposed to methodologies of liberal education, such asarchival research, feel more confident about engaging with primary source materials in thefuture.ConclusionThe archival interventions in this Science and Technology Studies course related to current andproposed ABET student outcomes.

. They established an Engineeringprogram that built a sound theoretical base that was then strongly coupled to the realism ofengineering practice. Engineering’s Founding Fathers developed the Harvey Mudd Clinicprogram—Harvey Mudd’s three-semester capstone experience—to bring professional practice toon-campus students. Subsequent colleagues developed (and evangelized) the first-year designcourse (E4) that exposes students to client-based design work as the cornerstone of itsEngineering program. A current overview of the history and philosophy of the Mudd Engineeringprogram is found elsewhere1, while details of the current curriculum are shown in Figure 1
to meet these demands. Studentsare given an arsenal of formulas over the course of their undergraduate years. But, when requiredto use their knowledge productively in “real-world” contexts during senior capstone projects, itquickly becomes apparent that wider skill sets are needed. Informed by the philosophicalreflection that has facilitated previous paradigmatic shifts, we might consider that, in addition toapplying basic math, science, and design skills, students also need to cultivate qualitative skillssuch as asking questions, qualitative modeling, brainstorming, decomposing solutions,presenting, and reporting39,40.These are just some of the skills that comprise a student’s creative competence, which ultimatelyincludes establishing a

Such resources arelimited and often need to be more organized for the graduate curriculum, needing a systematicapproach to address the diverse aspects of communicating science effectively to differentaudiences. Besides, the diverse and multilingual backgrounds of graduate students should benoticed when students are expected to present and publish their work in the field. Therefore,there is a need to infuse the graduate engineering curriculum with well-designed scientificcommunication courses to ensure the productivity of students.The University of Connecticut identified this significant gap in providing structured support tothe graduate
“effort to understand the way they [people] do thingsand why, their physical and emotional needs, how they think about [the] world, and what ismeaningful to them.” Other scholars have offered principles or beliefs to guide an empathicdesign methodology [7,9], wherein the principles span the entirety of the design process. Indeed,while Empathize is the first aspect of the d.School model, the team emphasizes an iterative andnon-linear design process, highlighting the role of empathy throughout one’s design process.In the context of engineering, the ways in which empathy manifests within design may varybased on the goals of a design project or the phase of the design process.

Many of our engineering graduate programs incorporate systematic or scoping reviews (types of evidence synthesis) in their graduate degrees - sometimes as qualifying exams, preliminary exams, dissertation chapters, capstone projects, or within a course. The construction of a protocol is a key first step in an evidence synthesis project that is often skipped in these assignments for the sake of time. When students learn the purpose of protocols and practice making one, they will understand the process of
