project management approach for conducting business andimprovements. It is crucial to embed the practice of real-world project management teams in thestructure of the capstone project courses.This paper aims to study and analyze a model of capstone projects, the senior project course.Students from at least three different engineering technology programs are teamed up towork together in an innovative way to brainstorm, suggest and choose a project. Furthermore,teams work together through the process of creating a commercial product.The teams in this course will also create a complete project document that includes the patentsearch process, market survey analysis, design, product testing, and commercialization plans.This documentation is an

industrial roboticequipment.Development of the walking-beam conveyer and the Geneva mechanism was undertaken by twostudents as senior capstone projects in academic year 2019-2020 [5], [6]. Initially it wasenvisioned that the students would at least begin parts fabrication in the latter part of springsemester 2020. However, when the university pivoted to remote operation in March due toCOVID-19, the scope of work was refocused to concentrate on more detailed CAD modeling.Sample images of the CAD models produced by the students are shown in Fig. 7.Fig. 7. Sample views from CAD models resulting from student senior capstone projects; left:walking beam conveyor, right: Geneva mechanism.In fall 2020, fabrication was begun in the UNH ET program’s machine

), driven bysupport from the Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute (PMMI) Foundation and the“PMMI U Skills Fund” exemplifies that unity. Using industry-standard software, equipment, andresources, like that provided by LinMot Inc. USA, allows students and workforce trainees tolearn using the newest equipment, learn about emerging technologies in packaging andprocessing, and provide a pipeline of workforce-ready talent. In this paper, the authors explainthe steps to design, fabricate, and build a testbed trainer to be used with the existing trainers inthe hands-on activity laboratories, student/industry projects, and capstone design. This project isa good tool for students to practice utilizing innovative technology and hands-on skills using

West Michigan fluid power engineering and distribution company, DonaldEngineering, has been instrumental in the advancement of fluid power education. DonaldEngineering President, Mark Gauthier, has generously donated a pump test stand, a large powerunit, and is sponsoring a student capstone design project to design and manufacture a fluid powersystem to operate a tensile test apparatus. This industry support has been a great supplement tocourse learning objectives. For example, the pump test stand enables students to evaluate flowrate and temperature change in and out of the cooling unit for the hydraulic pump, which relatesto heat transfer, thermodynamics as well as fluid power topics.
