The term “SDP” refers to senior design projects inengineering disciplines or capstone course in computer science disciplines. Each team consists of4 undergraduate students (3 from a group of seniors at FIT or UCF and one sophomore studentfrom BCC and SSC, respectively). Each SDP team is advised weekly by at least one EMD-MLRfaculty and, if needed, will is more frequently by a Ph.D. student mentor. Each SDP consists ofan (i) educational materials development component and a (ii) supervised research

Many of our students stay in the area and work for the companies or local and state government entities that sponsor these projects and we did not want our students to lose that experience.The other concern that needed to be addressed was funding for the students to implement theirdesign. It is expected that the class will have 10 – 15 students and it is hoped that most if not allof these students would have the opportunity to

AtIPFW, very few incoming freshmen have ever built an electroinic project. During the first threesemesters of the ECET curriculum, they perform lab experiments by wiring and testing simplecircuits (counters, amplifier circuits, etc.) on solderless breadboards. These circuits reinforce aparticular aspect of circuit operation, but do not do anything useful or entertaining, and they aretorn down at the conclusion of the exercise.

IntroductionBecause “engineering programs must demonstrate that their graduates have: …an ability todesign a system, component, or process to meet desired needs,” and “an ability to function inmulti-disciplinary teams….”1, design is integrated to the engineering curricula through the use ofdesign teams. In many cases, this integration also uses industry-sponsored design projects. Mostof the industry-sponsored design project applications are at the capstone design level

As a part of the curriculum, there are courses on mechanics of materialsand engineering materials (metals and plastics), and also on electronics andinstrumentation. There is some emphasis on design for quality through courses in qualitycontrol and design of experiments. The capstone projects do however, focus on variousaspects of design, namely design for manufacturability as well as design for assembly.However, the perspectives of design, as such are not uniformly and strictly emphasized ina traditional manufacturing engineering technology curriculum.

Professor Jofriethas an extensive background in researching and teaching of FEA. The projects utilized eitherCFD or solid mechanics within their design. Six measures were used to assess the level ofintelligent CAE use.

Essentially by forming a small business and manufacturing a product, thestudents in the capstone sequence realize the significance of their contributions to their businessand learn to view the “big picture”. In the future, the capstone courses will work more closely with entrepreneurs.
