We wanted to ascertain whether they would like to have “mini-capstone” projectsincorporated into the curriculum in order to give them experience with solving practicalproblems earlier in their degree program. Finally, we wanted to know whether they would beinterested in having a series of project presentations by industry professionals integrated into themain-capstone course. The survey that we distributed to the students is found in Appendix A.Presenter Survey: We also conducted another survey in which we distributed a questionnaire tothe project presenters (see Appendix B). This survey was designed to gain an industryprofessional’s perspective on the following issues:1. The level of preparedness that fresh engineering graduates have

of the Fall 2014 class and Fall2015 class was made. No significant change was identified.Over the two prerequisite engineering courses, Statics and Strengths of Materials, the gradeswere quite similar. Specifically, for student “A”, with a grade of “B” in Statics, followed by agrade of “C” in Strengths, produced a “C” in Structures 1. It was identified that the Statics andStrengths of Materials grades could be a predictor for the Structures grade. Further, theprerequisite courses have been modified and it is anticipated that the students will be moreprepared for this course.Conclusion:Utilizing non-traditional assignments with submission as youtube.com encouraged students to bemore creative.

Our specific research questions that guided this portion of the study (i.e., thedevelopment and analysis of the student surveys) are: a. In what ways, if any, do students’ self-efficacy for communication capabilities change from their entry to their last semester before graduation? b. Do students report differences in self-efficacy by communication type (i.e., writing

The creation of a new version of the course providedan opportunity to conduct a comparative assessment of the course’s influence on students’understanding of leadership.PurposeThe purpose of this study was two-fold: 1. To evaluate the effects of an engineering leadership course on students’ perceptions of leadership, as measured by the Leadership Attitudes and Beliefs Scale (LABS- III),1 and 2.

In peer evaluation 1,only three of the 21 senior design teams made comments indicative of conflict (communicationproblems, uneven workload, etc.). In peer evaluation 2, however, that increased to one third (7 of21) of the teams having one or more comment suggesting a team dynamic or cohesion issue.This increase in reports of negative team-cohesion may be reflective of end-of-term stress andfrustration of working under pressure potentially captured by the timing of peer evaluation 2.Only one team, Team B, reported team dynamic issues in

'.”.22Studies of the practice of engineering document that engineering is not merely or mainly atechnical, or techno-scientific activity, but is rather a socio-technical enterprise, and indicate thateducational reforms are necessary not only for learning engineering knowledge and skills, butalso to develop socially engaged attitudes and values. We review these studies by highlightingthree key social aspects of engineering: a) engineering (problems and) products are sociallyconstructed, b) engineering process is socially distributed and culturally situated, and c)engineering activity (and output) has social responsibility.a) Engineering products are socially constructedScience and Technology Studies (STS) of professional engineering work suggest that
