The team ofmultidisciplinary faculty from Engineering and Communications who teach the sophomore levelcourses have observed the difficulty students have tackling the fundamental open-ended natureof true design problems and have subsequently revised the sequence. For the Fall of 2005 theSophomore Clinic sequence was revised to introduce Dym et al.’s converging-divergingframework for design by incorporating a series of three projects of increasing complexity withaccompany activities designed to reinforce the converging-diverging concepts.

Projects in Engineering Education: The Students’ PerspectiveAbstract:International service projects are increasingly recognized as a way to prepare students for theglobal marketplace. Project-based service learning is a valuable educational tool, and expandsupon a traditional engineering education. Accordingly, increased opportunities for this have beenprovided to students through various national and university institutions. In the past three years,students from Tufts University have initiated projects in Ecuador, El Salvador and the TibetAutonomous Region. These projects provide diverse perspectives, from which important lessonscan be extracted.This paper will address lessons learned from student-run international service

This paperdescribes an easily adaptable model for a “pre-capstone” course that prepares students for ateam-based capstone experience in electrical engineering. The course is broadly adaptable sinceit has many similarities with the structure, outcomes, and grading methods of other capstonecourses nationwide1.Outcomes for the pre-capstone course were chosen based on observed deficiencies in studentperformance in solving open ended projects as part of a team in the second capstone course. Thecourse was structured on a cognitive apprentice model. In the cognitive apprentice model,experts model behaviors or skills for novices who then practice the skills on their own.Continuous

In the continual search for costeffectiveness in manufacturing we turn our focus to an attempt to reduce tooling cost byimproving the life of cutting inserts. There has been continued research conducted to increasecutter tool life with various applications of cutting fluids, speed and feed rates, and the use ofcoated cutters. One newer approach, cryogenic processing, has been promoted as an effectivemethod of extending the useful life of different cutting tools used in the manufacturing process.This research area provides an excellent opportunity to apply real life research into capstonedesign projects.
