. Project requirements are real and usually involve multiple disciplines like engineering, technology, and business. This provides the students a valuable opportunity to understand that a project involves many actors (developer, administration, customer, etc.) and all converge together with their specific requirements.B. Ensure the Project Meets all PLOs: It is imperative that the capstone project meets all the PLOs required by the program. The NU BS-ITM program is a professional curriculum based on modern Information Technologies (IT) and IT management techniques. It facilitates students to learn analysis, problem solving techniques, advanced IT design, and IT management. The mission of the program is reflected in the PLOs as

They are creative in defining labs that reflect theirindividual viewpoint on the learning objectives which benefit from hands-on experience. Thelab assignments currently being created by a faculty are independent of text books. Text bookpublishers have an opportunity to provide pre-configured labs which map to the text. One likelyreason that faculty has this unsatisfied desire/need is that it would reduce its work load.It is interesting to note that many traditional science degree programs like biology, chemistry

Sustainability ManufacturingManufacturing is an unlikely first choice for a profession among college students. Nevertheless,in the 2012 State of the Union address, President Obama gave a blueprint for an economy that isbuilt to last based on American manufacturing.16 The manufacturing sector has drivenknowledge production and innovation in the U.S. by supporting two-thirds of private sectorresearch and development and by employing scientists, engineers, and technicians to invent newproducts and introduce innovations in existing industries17. After several decades of decline,early signs of manufacturing returning to the U.S. reflect the changing of conditions.18,19,20Resurgence will only be realized with sustained cost competitiveness and innovation

As a part of his parallel research in Higher Education Reform, Dr. Aliedeh has developed and published a new Educational Reform Approach that is called Transparent Thinking Approach (TTA). TTA is a newly developed value-engrained and thinking based educational reform approach. It is generic and unique features enable it to easily diffuse in all domains. The real ”fruits” of this new approach will be ”tasted” by ”feeling” the innovative TTA created harmony between depth, meaningfulness, connectedness and simplicity which is reflected in the practical application of TTA concepts, tools, perspectives.

It is well-known that students and professionals in STEM careers in the USA do not reflect the generalpopulation of the country [1]. For example, white men make up 31.6% of the general populationwhile they make up 51% of scientists and engineers. Black men make up 6% of the populationand 3% of the STEM workforce.

that make a good engineer, and others. Inresponses to such questions students described how they imagined engineering workplaces andthe work of engineering. We found that students in their first year of preparation to becomeengineers knew little about what kind of work they would be doing in the future as engineers.That is, they developed hopeful images of engineering. In some cases these images were alteredor augmented in later years to become more mundane. For some students images from the firstyear remained virtually unchanged into their fourth year. Our discussion reflects how students’identities are affected both by common, widely circulating images of engineering and theabsence of real workplace experiences in the undergraduate
