c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Base Lining Cross Cultural Diversity Attitudes in International Senior Capstone ProjectsAbstractIn this global world, today’s engineer is likely to have to work in global international teams withcolleagues from other nationalities. The challenge for many engineering curricula is how to include, in arealistic way, this global dimension and increase the student’s awareness of the issues that areencountered. In the Purdue University Engineering Technology program, an international capstone project was createdto increase student awareness of the cultural differences that they will encounter in global projects. Thisinternational capstone project builds on the

The figure represents all faculty appointments to the class including lead faculty and mentor faculty. Lead faculty primary responsibility for the class, including curriculum development, representation at all lecture and studio hours, and final grading. Mentor faculty are provided to assist with advising students in given areas of expertise, providing direction and feedback during each semester. Page 26.1011.6

4600: Technical Practicum is a senior level required capstone design course offered bythe department of engineering technology, surveying and digital media. This course is offeredevery semester and requires the student to synthesize and apply subject matter studies in previousrequired courses and apply them to a realistic problem solving effort. In the Fall 2013, the ENTC4600 course’s learning outcomes were modified to infuse global perspectives of engineeringproblems and solutions. In that semester, students explored international markets mainlydeveloping countries, identified an engineering and technology related problem with thecollaboration of a focus group (consists of international students), and then designed anddeveloped a solution to

performing well following theimplementation of the WEAT design prompt.IntroductionCapstone design courses vary between engineering programs and can be structured to includeindustry partners, service-learning projects for communities or competition design projects1.Utilization of a competition prompt as the capstone design project provides many benefits forstudent education2. For instance, students may receive a real-world problem submitted by aregional municipal utility tasking them with the job of treatment upgrades to improve plantperformance. Unlike the use of hypothetical academic prompts, additional opportunities aregiven to the students when they engage with a competition prompt, such as the ability to tour theproject facility, receive

Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Innovative Embedded Systems ProjectAbstractThe goal of an Embedded Design course is to teach programming, embedded circuits and softwarealgorithms. There are also related goals, such as learning to use development tools, lab equipmentand proper debugging techniques. There are tangential goals such as working in teams andpreparation for senior/capstone projects. And while there are a variety of approaches to teaching,the common theme is that you want the students to be successful and understand the material asthoroughly as possible.Each year, there are new peripherals, new processors and most engineering departments do not takea static approach to education and try to include more

experience in their senior year, formed the first all-female capstone team. The project the team selected was the conceptual design of a performance and visual art center for an existing nonprofit “village” that houses physically and emotionally abused girls. Each team member was responsible for the design of a component of the project based on her civil engineering subdiscipline. An all-female group of industry practitioners agreed to serve as mentors to the capstone team throughout the project cycle. With significant input from the practitioner-mentors, the students designed the project and not only presented to faculty and advisory board members, they also presented to the local chapter of a female-based construction industry

applied and leveraged to enhance the capstone experience thatentails industry sponsored design and build style projects. The ability to comfortably interactwith professionals in an industrial environment, manage projects entailing interactions withother portions of the business outside of engineering such as purchasing, skilled trades,marketing, sales and others allows a wide variety of challenging projects to be considered for thecapstone design course. Frequently capstone projects are proposed by companies that currentlyhave one or more co-op students. If appropriate, the co-op student acts as the point of contactbetween the student team and the industry sponsor. This minimizes the amount ofmiscommunication and also allows faster turn-around

juniors), team activities typicallyinvolve only the six or seven students enrolled in the capstone project. All the HPVC studentsexpressed frustration that they were “not allowed to do anything” until they were in charge. Thenon-capstone students, and especially new members, have no input on the design or building oftheir vehicle. Often the capstone students do not even include these other team members incommunications to arrange meetings or work times. Thus, students have very little opportunityto learn anything about the vehicle design, component manufacturing, or administrative tasksbefore they are responsible for the entire project.

impact.Constructivist theories of learning also recognize that learning is a social activity6. This meansthat the laboratory instruction and project-based design courses can be identified as opportunitiesto improve students’ ability to work in teams, as well as their communication skills. As a result,many civil engineering programs now incorporate many of these dimensions in their designclasses, ranging from cornerstone to capstone design courses7.IllustrationsThe civil and environmental engineering department has implemented project (cooperativelearning) based exercises in the CE 3801 Environmental Engineering Laboratory course (juniorlevel civil engineering course).

Page 26.1204.5For challenges, we encounter two issues: (1) how to engage students in multidisciplinary teamprojects; and (2) how to ensure student authentication. 3As an engineering program, one of our expected student outcomes is an ability to function onmultidisciplinary teams. However, perhaps partly due to the small size of the program, most ofour capstone design projects are done individually. To enhance students’ team experience, we arecurrently working on two approaches: to have students working on similar capstone design projectsprovide feedback

effectively 3) Design and conduct experiments 4) Analyze and interpret data 5) Design a system that is within realistic constraintsEngineering educators across the U.S. have recognized the power of this approach. For example,the number of team-based and multidisciplinary team-based capstone classes across the U.S. hasincreased15 since 1995, likely due to the influence of ABET on U.S. engineering programs.16Similarly, the number of “Cornerstone” freshmen engineering design project classes hasincreased, although by no means are they universal in U.S. engineering curricula4. Cornerstonedesign experiences require significant faculty involvement, and from the student’s point of view,projects should be motivating and challenging but not
