offour semesters at IRE, the students are required to write four technical reports describing allaspect of the design projects in addition to writing business plan, personal improvement plan andexperiment reports for all the technical competencies. The IRE students graduate with a Bachelorof Science in general engineering from Minnesota State University, Mankato.The goal of the program is to producing graduates with significant integrated technical andprofessional knowledge and skills who will help the economic development of the region. Themajority of the student learning occurs in the context of industry engineering projects, in contrastto the traditional distinctly topical engineering classes. The IRE program values skills such asstrong

The conferences present invitedspeakers as well as faculty presentations that address the needs of the respective engineeringparticipants.The engineering community has, in recent years, requested a different form of continuingeducation. The degree programs do not address the needs of those who do not desire anadvanced degree. The conferences address a different need than the degree programs, but theypresent a scheduling problem in that it is necessary to miss an entire day of work in order toattend the conference.

Students were required to keep journals documenting theirobservations, insights, criticisms, and questions about each of the lessons in the course. Thejournals served the dual purpose of assessing student learning and assigning a grade for thecourse.I have served as the course director and principal instructor of CE400A since it was first offeredin Academic Year 1995-96.

For that reason, the course isdivided into three phases: Introduction, Setup, and Assertion-Based Verification.
