This paper gives a unique and effective way of teaching capstone senior design courses inelectrical and computer engineering at PVAMU for underrepresented students. This paper alsodocuments a process where ABET (the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology)outcomes can be implemented to enhance students learning. The influence instructors’ experiencesthrough the combinations of industry and academia play a major and important factor to map theABET student outcomes and how the projects are evaluated. Other underrepresented universitiesmay benefit from the lessons learned of this work. IntroductionIt’s understandable that for any undergraduate engineering student

students such as workshops,courses, and projects, design innovation may not be the focus since students do not have awareness ofbasic concepts. We have discovered that students need explicit reasoning as to why it is less efficientto design using a particular method. Therefore, for principles similar to those already proposed4 to beefficient, it is first crucial to provide an explanation to students about why other methods areineffective. It is essential to recognize that inexperienced designers will be impacted more as opposedto experienced designers, hence the authors propose to implement design concepts in introductoryengineering courses as well as Engineering Design I, prior to a final capstone course such asEngineering Design II.There are

The capstone project integrates theory andapplication of the engineering curriculum and incorporates all aspects of the design process to developnew and creative solutions that meet the customer’s need. The design projects are fairly diverse dueto the diverse interests of the students. A short list of these projects that materialized during the lasttwo years include: agricultural spraying drone, bleach concentration feedback control system,anaerobic digester coupled with a heating system, vapor-cloud explosion test structure, search andrescue drone deployment system, dual-axis solar tracker, six degrees-of-freedom robotic arm for steamsterilization, and all-terrain rescue trailer.

The agreement allows our undergraduate students to be exposed to professional andadvanced software that is used for courses in structural analysis, structural dynamics, and thecomprehensive capstone design course. The full version of the software allows the study of structureswith different complexity without restriction due to their size, type of loads or design requirements.The projects presented in this paper are examples of a successful technology transfer from industry touniversity using professional software.

At Texas A&M University-Kingsville (TAMUK) a Hispanic-serving institution, aspects of leadership and ethics are explored in the capstone senior designcourse sequence for chemical engineering, and in master’s thesis and doctoral seminar courses.Instruction in leadership is achieved primarily through project- or research-based learning, whileinstruction in ethics is achieved by case study review and discussion. The objective is to presenthow these sometimes-overlooked topics are addressed at an institution with a majority Hispanicstudent population, noting that Hispanic graduate engineers are underrepresented in theengineering workforce.

is a free tool application that isused to capture packets from network connections. By using the application, it is possible to capturethe packets from the device’s network connection to get the IP address of the device. Aftermanaging to capture some packets, one would need to look through them to find out if it came fromthe same location as the device is located at. Upon discovery of the IP address as you look it up,with certain IP address lookups sites, it would indicate if that were the address you are looking for.Once there is confirmation, the next process is set in the next phase of testing.

We present observations from deploying these surveys in several different courses in-cluding a first-year engineering course, a junior-level project-based computer science andengineering course, and a senior capstone design course. Impact demonstration will be inthe form of specific applications where the authors used survey results to best design teams,build connections within and across the student community, and to determine the level ofscaffolding needed to address survey-identified student knowledge and skill set challenges

The benefits of having this requiredcourse include extending the students’ knowledge in using a powerful tool to solve a variety ofcomplex engineering problems, applying the computer tool for the capstone design project and othercourse projects, and bridging the gap between academic education and industrial work. IntroductionIn early human history, parents or elderly assumed the role of teacher to the youngsters for life skills.In later human history, teaching became a profession of educated people.

Session XXXX 10 Recommendations for Incorporating MetacognitionMetacognitive approaches should ideally be included into the engineering curriculum at all stages,from engineering concepts in the first freshman semester to capstone projects in the senior year.Project/Problem/Inquiry-Based approach to instruction is the best way to address this aspect. Forinstance, the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Penn State University has a course –Bicycle Dissection Labs – whose purpose is “To learn more about the most widely usedtransportation vehicle in the world - how it functions, how it evolved, and how to keep yours inbetter condition.” 17 The stability of a bicycle has also been discussed in physics literature.18 Sucha “hands-on
