design.While there are many inclusions of product redesign in papers discussing capstone designcourses, this paper focuses on the use of FMEA in a Design Support Analysis course in anAeronautical Engineering Technology program at a junior level. The course includes lectures,videos, quizzes, and the final project. The goal of the final project is to dramatically reduce lifecycle costs through maintenance reductions, a priori failure identification and analysis, andsubsequent reliability and maintainability improvements. This paper introduces the FMEAprocess as described in SAE ARP5580, presents the FMEA method as completed in the course,and discusses FMEA changes that could be incorporated to improvements to the course.Keywords: standards, FMEA

in engineering capstone design. The authors implementedthis collaboration model with a pilot project three years ago. This model was slightly modifiedbased on the lessons learned and learning outcomes reported by the participating EEP and ECESD teams. This model brought forth some keen observations and lessons, which the authorshave seen as the first step in forming a comprehensive multi-disciplinary design program. Thepreliminary impact of these steps is that 15 to 20% of the ECE SD program’s design projects aremulti-disciplinary (with 6 to 8 faculty members from several departments as mentors) and aregrowing. This growing multi-disciplinary collaboration has also brought in additional annualfunding. This paper shares the structure, phases

Our goal was to determine theextent to which our theoretically and empirically defined rubric criteria were accessible tostudent audiences. We collected data during Spring 2018 from 51 junior engineering studentsfrom two course sections of capstone design. Students were given a homework assignment thatincluded evaluating their capstone projects with our draft rubric. Each student belonged to one offifteen capstone teams and was assigned to evaluate their projects against a subset of rubriccriteria (approximately two-thirds of the rubric’s 14 criteria

three departments in the Frank H.Dotterweich College of Engineering at Texas A&M University-Kingsville have incorporatedengineering design instruction and hands-on design projects in the last two years as part of NSFgrant award #1928611. A primary objective of this grant is to increase the retention andpersistence of minorities in the engineering programs by incorporating high-impact enrichmentactivities into courses early in the student’s academic career. A logical course to include high-impact activities for first-year students is the introduction to engineering courses in thedepartments, which are titled “Engineering as a Career” (GEEN 1201), within the Frank H.Dotterweich College of Engineering.This work presents the approach used for a

Over-body wings tend to force the cardownwards but would increase the drag force on the car. This capstone project investigated theground effects on a scaled F1 car by testing the down force and drag force with and withoutground effects. To meet the objectives, an 8.8 feet-long (2.93 m) wind tunnel was built by theteam having a 6 × 6 sq.in (3.34 m2) cross-section testing chamber running air at an approximatespeed of 34 miles per hour (mph

Oncethe students understand the fundamental knowledge of signal and systems and digital and analogcircuits in sophomore and junior years, they learn how to effectively “divide” complex problems,refine the decomposition, and integrate the pieces. Finally, the students compile, synthesize, andapply the various techniques that they have learned in previous courses into actual solutions toreal-world problems through capstone projects.Curriculum integration is a methodology widely used by educators to implement the “divide andconquer” strategy and improve students’ education experience 17, 18.
