* Concept generation/selection Engineering ethics (lecture topic only) Decision makingIn addition to instructional goals, many capstone programs (including the program that is thesubject of this paper) involve the construction of a working prototype for a client. Prototyping isless common in Chemical and Civil Engineering, where working prototypes are impracticallylarge for students to build, but most other programs require some type of build. Increasingly,capstone programs are exploring approaches to product development and design using an Agilemethodology (e.g., [17]–[19]), which drives teams to prototype early, delivering functionality ata steady pace through the project. Underlying this is a desire to move students from paper
engineering instructors and theconstruction CoP. The goal is to identify information that can help facilitate access to industrypractitioners that can complement the practical needs of construction engineering students andunderstand the practical course-support needs of construction engineering instructors. The surveywas administered online, and 293 engineering instructors and 143 industry practitioners filled itout. In addition, we secured ethical clearance through our IRB office. Data were analyzed usingdescriptive statistics, and some of the responses were analyzed by different variables to see ifthere were any important differences to show between participants. Preliminary results of thesurvey are presented next.Participants from IndustryOne

However, there are steeper drop-offs toCoE graduation rates of Precalculus compared to Calculus I students as grades decrease. Thosein Precalculus who earn a C, D, or W also find moderate success outside CoE with those groupsgraduating in other degrees at a rate of 29%, 27%, and 30% respectively.Algebra is our lowest starting group. The bright spot here is that those who earn an A graduateCoE at a rate (51%) approximately equal to the overall average (50%).

The tests apply high temperatures to solid-state devices while applying a stress voltagein order to observe and measure changes in their performance. These changes, in combinationwith statistical analysis tools, can be used to make assumptions and predictions about thedevices.[3] The system was designed by a team of 2 undergraduate students and
