IntroductionMany engineers contend that design is the heart of engineering. Traditional engineeringcurricula were based on the concept that a strong foundation in engineering sciences wouldnaturally lead to better designers. The curriculum would often contain some form of a capstonedesign experience where students would be given a design problem to resolve. The students mayor may not have been taught how to best approach the solution to the design problem. At the endof the allotted time period (a semester or some other number of weeks), the design project

in this paper is the result of anextensive rebuilding effort. Prior to the development of these tools and processes, the academicprogram faculty went through a period of re-establishing and clarifying a myriad of assessmentfundamentals. That is, establishing a sustainable assessment process integrating the program’sstakeholders with the curriculum, implementing process review policies, clearly defining courseoutcomes, and developing appropriate performance indicators. Additionally it came to beunderstood that the assessment process – no matter how sophisticated or well intentioned it maybe – would not stand up to the scrutiny of an on-site assessment without possessing a clarity andtransparency that is obvious to the on-site accreditation

by offering specific paths to changing perspectives on a system. Sevensystems thinking skills provide an STS conceptual foundation to the curriculum (Table 2). Theaim here was to both de-jargon and transform abstract STS conceptual frameworks into action-oriented skills and mindsets. For example, the systems thinking skill “finding ethics in artifacts”relates to STS concepts such as the politics of artifacts [20], [38], [40] and material participation[39]. “Hosting STS parties” draws from the long STS history of encouraging public participationin shaping the future of directions of science and technological design and implementation [49-50].
