Course Objectives and EvolutionThe 8 credits of senior design are associated with a year long Fall-Spring sequence of courses,each carrying 4 credits. The course has core junior-level courses as prerequisites so that studentsenter with some substantive computer science fundamentals. We list below the formal courseobjectives. In the two courses, students will: 1. Learn key elements in the development of a significant year-long computer science project: planning, specification, design, analysis, and implementation. 2. Apply concepts from software engineering to the project: requirements, specification, reuse, documentation, verification and validation, testing, configuration management. 3. Learn to write about and practice

Preheating Effect on the Friction Stir Welding Jinmyun Jo Department of Engineering Virginia State University, Petersburg, VirginiaOne of the primary emphases of the engineering senior projects is to provide researchexperiences to senior students who plan to go to engineering graduate schools. This presentationdiscusses the process used and the results obtained during proposing and executing a researchproject. Preheating effect on the friction stir welding (FSW) process was proposed as the topicof the senior researches in which preheating effects were investigated using a sand insulator anddonor material.

  An Internship Program that Promotes Student Success in Engineering and Engineering Technology AB Shafaye and Rafic Bachnak School of Science, Engineering, and Technology Penn State HarrisburgAbstract - STEM education has been given much attention in recent years. A major concern,however, is that success rates in U.S. colleges and universities are still low. While a number offactors affect student success, active learning approaches such as research and internshipexperiences, hands-on experimentation and projects, challenged-based instruction and problemsolving, and peer

courses in junioryear, followed by one year capstone project. Some programs start from sophomore year, someextend it into senior year. There are also many programs that adopt integrated curriculum,therefore the lab components are integrated into regular courses. For example, when engineeringdynamics course is offered, a 1 credit lab course is offered in conjunction with the lecture. Thisarrangement ties the experiments to course content very well, helps to reinforce the knowledgethat students learned from lectures. It brings the real world into theoretical education.While it is the general agreement that laboratories, hands on experience are necessary, little hasbeen said about what they are expected to accomplish [2].

Experiential learning connectscontents to real-world applications and integrates technology and 21st Century Skills(Partnership for a Skilled Workforce: http://www.pswinc.org/technology/pipelinechallenge.htm).The paper demonstrates that field experiential learning pedagogy adopted in an EngineeringMechanics course fosters direct experience on hands on experience in which students are able toapply Science, Technology, Engineering skills to real life situations. Engineering Mechanics is acourse that is been taken by all the students in Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering andCivil Engineering at Morgan State University.

The themes from the Business Model Canvas have been used.  Creating a tool that is applicable at several levels including product, service, and process design and from the design project to the new product and venture level.  Establishing connections between product design and business model themes thereby creating a multidisciplinary framework enabling the alignment and association of themes between the two. The ability to associate and align information from diverse sources has been identified

. Therefore, multi-disciplinary problem solving teams have been animportant part of the contemporary organizational culture today. However, analyzing a problemwith a multi-disciplinary perspective demands more than putting together a team of membersfrom various disciplines and backgrounds. The multi-disciplinary nature of a team does notguarantee successful team performance. The research shows that the performance of a teamdepends on how effectively team members are able to share information, assign tasks based onthe strengths of team members, coordinate tasks, and provide feedback to one another.1 Forexample, the high failure rate observed in information technology (IT) projects has beenattributed to the lack of professional skills in project teams

Other learning activities implemented thatprovide opportunity for interaction that support active learning as well as promote mastery of thecourse learning objectives are: (1) discussion forum, (2) hands-on project aimed at enhancing theunderstanding of three dimensional concepts/problems (3) field experiential learning activity and(4) videos.

. Historical event discussion suchas the longbow deployment in the English-French 100-year Conflict is a well-known examplewhere technology determined the outcome, although the physics of the longbow technology wasfinally put forward by Newton 200 years later. The technology of the atomic bomb and thephysics of the Manhattan Project is another example that society demanded physics applicationand created nuclear technology. However, we found that the learning motivation of the studentshave not improved much with this strategy of showing how physics is related to historical eventsin terms of feasibility and the consistency with all known physical laws. Therefore the physicsadvances relevant to the historical events are supplemented with parallel

tools such as recorded lectures in a classroom setting. Forexample, the Construction Project Management courses can be taught effectively by utilizingonline software such as bidding, scheduling and Construction Management software.Class lectures can be recorded and uploaded on course pages. Also instead of homeworks,classroom work can be given to students so that they can work under the direct supervision of aninstructor. This enables the students to ask questions and get into discussions. Also,communication can happen through internet via email, social media and internet video chatrooms.For the purpose of communication, lots of software is available for use including “BlackboardClassroom” that helps in interactions among students with video
