todevelop their own product ideas from initial concepts to a business plan for a start-up. Thecourse is offered in English. The second course, offered to 3rd year students, introduces fundamental concepts relatedto industrial process analysis and improvement. Students learn necessary data collection andanalysis techniques (such as, for example, Value Stream Mapping) and also the basics ofprocess simulation using a commercial software package. Student teams work with industrialsponsors and develop competing innovative ideas for process transformation andimprovement. Emphasis is placed on the quality of the student work and final results. Topprojects are offered to present at technical conferences, publish their results in technicaljournals, and

industrysponsored. Student teams face challenges when defining objectives for an ambiguous project,controlling scope creep, achieving buy-in, and selling their results to the sponsor. These areskills that are not taught in most engineering curriculums prior to the capstone course(s). Ourobservations are consistent with the observations by other researchers who have studied thedesign process. Wilson et. al 2 highlighted how students in the capstone course setting strugglewith setting milestones and soliciting feedback at the right times. Developing and effectivelycommunicating the project plan and status are critical to the success of the project. As noted byYildirim3, there is a need for understanding the relationships between design activities

The following paragraphs describe the redesign criteria,the course is it is presently, and some of its impact on student learning.Capstone Courses AdvantagesHigher education has used Capstone Courses for a long time, but they have come to the forein recent years. The reasons are many: many institutions have found that students today aremore focused on practical activities, doing things (Keller, 20046); recent

The initial group of seventeen students is in theirsenior year during the 2011-12 academic year and all are completing capstone design projects.Five of the seventeen students decided to drop out of the LEP at various times during the last twoyears. Statistical baseline data to be gathered includes the types of jobs each student pursuesafter graduation, the type and number of internships each student completes during theirsummers, and their overall academic success. Interviews with faculty advisors of LEP capstoneprojects will provide information on the performance of LEP students relative to their non

Even todayrobots are used with assisting humans with common everyday tasks such as performing generaloffice work, doing the laundry, or retrieving a newspaper. However, none of these roboticactions are possible without the use of a computer to execute and control the actions and tasks.Since robots are controlled by computers, they can be integrated and connected to othercomputer systems to perform computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) activities. Therefore,CIM is the pervasive use of computer systems to design the products, plan the production,control the operations, and perform the various information processing functions needed in amanufacturing firm2

This meant that the instructors typicallydid not assign the module homework problems or use the module assessment questions in theirexams. If the engineering economics course instructor were implementing the module, andassigning associated homework problems, student confidence would presumably increase.Moreover, we plan to modify the module to focus on micro-economic objectives, thus coveringfewer objectives but covering them more effectively.In addition, a pre-test and post-test were administered for 2 semesters in the industrialengineering course, to assess the degree to which module objectives were achieved.

Research advocates integrating courses fromnot only the technical curriculum but also general education curriculum as well.6 Withinengineering programs, this coupling of technical and professional topics is apparent. Accordingto the results of a 2005 survey,4 over half of programs surveyed included the following topics intheir capstone design courses: written communication (87%), oral communication (83%),engineering ethics (76%), project planning and scheduling (72%), decision-making (68%),teambuilding (66%), team dynamics (63%), engineering economics (61

If a person has less than 35 years withsignificant income subject to Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax, then delayingretirement may raise their AIME significantly.
