The pilot interview was qualitative, semi-structured, and open-ended in nature.2,3 Theinterview protocol is listed in table 4.In order to explore students’ ability to recognize and identify mechatronics, instrumentation, andexperimental design concepts without biasing their answers at the initiation of the interview, theprotocol followed a specified format. The first stage of the interview allowed the students toexplain their senior design project (i.e. their roles, problems faced, and stage in design).

These new outcomes reiterate a number of identical skills proposed at The Summiton the Future of Civil Engineering and subsequently published by the American Society of CivilEngineers (ASCE) in 2007 2. The outcomes and skills go hand in hand with the vision for thefuture of professional licensure and the associated educational requirements. Led again by theASCE, ongoing public debate resulted in the issuance of Policy Statement 465 on October 5,2014 supporting the concept that an MS or its equivalent is required to practice civil engineeringat the professional level 3.

Also, every learning outcome is ideally evaluated in two ormore assessment items (e.g., quiz or exam questions, laboratory assignments) or other learningand teaching activities.
