Thisapproach provided librarians with deep knowledge of their liaison area’s research practices, butwas limited in tracking how students, staff, and faculty responded to this exposure [12].

demonstrate thesequalities in addition to the ability to apply engineering to the design and analysis of systems andexperiments. Instead of adding more courses to satisfy ABET requirements, these criteria aremet by S-L projects in existing core courses. For example, having community partners on S-Lprojects essentially guarantees that students will work on multidisciplinary teams. With thecorrect structure of S-L projects, the students will examine the impacts of engineering solutionsin a societal context. Also, if S-L projects replace traditional analytical exercises in courses, theoverall workload will typically not increase for the students. If students are motivated to spendmore time on S-L projects, they are free to do so and should learn more in

freshmen need tocomplete an introductory assignment on Matlab, and some of the lab managers offer tutorialsoutside of class hours to guide students through the Matlab assignment. The freshmen also havea Thursday noon lecture series which introduces them to a variety of opportunities throughoutJohns Hopkins. Lab managers can present their research, study abroad trip, and/or design teamprojects at one of these lectures. Lab managers prepare slides for a short oral presentation, andtalk about the challenges and benefits of their experiences. In fact, the student-run Thursdaypresentations were rated significantly higher by the freshmen compared to the more formalpresentations by the Career Center, BME faculty, or other guests. Over 96% of the freshmen
have been implicitly doingthis for sometime, the focus on outcomes now requires it to become explicit.This new focus on student learning outcomes will have an impact on curriculum at the programlevel. The traditional way of building an engineering curriculum is based on providing afoundation in the sciences, adding engineering science and then introducing program subjectmatter with increasing levels of depth. A parallel process exists for skill development,particularly for acquiring the important engineering design skills. Here, one starts with freshmanexperiencing simple design processes. By the senior year, the student is expected to incorporate

University, SCAbstractIt is vital to guarantee that engineering graduates have learned essential skills required to excel ina dynamic technological landscape. Today the proliferation of low-cost, high-speed computingdevices offer opportunities for design and control of systems with varying levels of complexity.What this means in practice is that engineers increasingly need expert knowledge of variouscomputer systems and software. Computing expertise once considered arcane must now becomecommonplace. We develop a novel Machine Learning (ML) course, designed for allundergraduate engineering majors with appropriate programming and mathematics background,to take as an elective in their junior or senior year. The course introduces deep learning

The pre-application process enables the departmental graduate coordinators the ability to review the pre-applicants’ qualifications to identify candidates that would be a good match for the respectiveprograms. It also allows the departmental graduate coordinators to waive the application fees ofthe prospective applicants. The Six Sigma project helped to define improvements to the pre-application process, as well as identify areas for improvement to enhance the technology that isused within the pre-application process. The team effectively used benchmarking techniques toidentify and compare best practices use of technology for the pre-application
