Based on their hands-onexperience with Design of Experiments, SolidWorks and 3D printing and the comments receivedby the program participants it was found that: (a) All the students demonstrated basic level ofunderstanding (through their assigned project) on how to use basic engineering skills to tackle areal world problem based on the tools available to their disposal; (b) Educational environmentprovided to them in university setting motivated 45% of the participants with a positive impacton their career choices towards STEM.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSThe authors of this paper would like to thank the NSF (Grant No: NSF DUE-TUES-1246050)and the

requirements: (a) measureindividual achievement within team environments; (b) provide measures authentic to engineeringpractice; (c) apply to diverse project, student, and course settings; and (d) find acceptance by thebroad engineering education community and profession.One of the prevalent course opportunities that often provide realistic project assignments is themultidisciplinary capstone course—especially those that create open-ended problems bysponsoring clients. Currently, many capstone assessments are based on team results leaving onlypeer assessments as a way to infer individual performance outcomes. The author has created ateam that has begun research to develop authentic assessment tools to measure professional skilloutcomes for senior

The student teams were given various questions such as “Whowere the stakeholders involved?” and “Let’s say you were employed in this project. How wouldyou have reacted/behaved?” and they were instructed to discuss and submit their results inwriting.Another type of activity was a lab-type activity. For example, students were given introductorymaterial for UML and State Diagrams (or statecharts) before class (note that students wereintroduced to UML diagrams and concepts in the SE Fundamentals course in the previoussemester).

isable to "engage the students at their level of background knowledge and use their answers asinput for class discussion". Novak showed that students engaged in JiTTs performed betterthan students not using the strategy. Today, the JiTT strategy is widely used in academia and inmany cases it is web-based, where "active learner assignments and enrichment materials aredelivered to the students over the web" [23, 24, 25]. New interactive technologies, used togetherwith the JiTT approach have the potential to increase student's knowledge because (a) thelearners are actively engaged, (b) the material is delivered at the point in time that studentsneed the knowledge, and (c) they receive prompt feedback about their learning, such that theyare able to
about student resistance, (b) questions aboutthe efficacy of the teaching method, (c) concerns about preparation time and (d) concerns aboutability to cover the syllabus15-19. Among these barriers, one area most in need of additionalresearch is that concerning student resistance. Although student resistance can be a significantdiscouragement to faculty attempting new teaching practices, it is a natural response to newteaching methods not typically used in the classroom. Weimer20 states that student resistance toactive learning methods is often a result of the additional effort needed on behalf of the student,causing anxiety about their ability to succeed within this new classroom environment. Weimer20also noted that student resistance can often
