Projects include wind turbine blade mold manufacturing, molded fixtures for plas-ma torches and molds for composite parts of a human-powered boat. These activities have allyielded hands-on CNC experiences that enrich the student experience by enabling direct studentparticipation in the build process.In addition to the courses that directly use the CNC laboratory, there are several other courses(Design Lab I and Design Lab II) that use recently acquired three-dimensional printing and lasercutting equipment in their projects

This project isdescribed in more detail elsewhere.10 Students work in teams on to determine the best (optimal)input parameters to a industrially sized virtual CVD reactor, which deposits thin films onpolished silicon wafers. The experiments student teams design are performed virtually, through acomputer simulation. Thus, student teams are provided opportunities to practice the complete,iterative cycle of experimental design where they develop and refine their solution based onanalysis of experiments. Integral to their success is the ability to develop and operationalizemodels and identify appropriate strategies.

 Three elective junior courses, (e.g. PH 382U, BI 372U and ECE 383U,) from a single cluster, (e.g. Science & Liberal Arts or Design Thinking/Innovation/Entrepreneurship,) which includes courses from multiple departments, grouped around a single theme.  An integrating two-quarter senior capstone experience, including some form of community service. (In engineering, this requirement is satisfied by the traditional capstone design project, performed in groups with participation and supervision by local industry. A future goal is the introduction of nanotechnology capstone projects which will integrate non-STE “graduates” of the nanotechnology courses into some of these industrial projects.)The four

Page 26.1144.3graduate robotics course. This paper presents the initial implementation of mechatronics instruction in the under-graduate robotics course. The effect of this instruction is assessed by examining whetherstudents who take the course use the knowledge gained in later courses or student com-petitions. The assessment for this project is the year-long Mechanical Engineering (ME)senior capstone design course. In the senior design course, students give midway and finaldesign presentations, which are open to the public. The authors attend these presentationsto determine whether their cohort of students use the mechatronics knowledge gained inlater courses. In addition, Dr. Bowling is still faculty advisor for the student competitions

a key source of successfulinnovations; thus, techniques to support creative conceptual design are imperative in engineeringeducation. However, teaching students to “think innovatively” has been difficult becauseeducators lack effective instructional methods. While there are a variety of proposed methods foridea generation, only one has been empirically validated in multiple scientific studies: DesignHeuristics. Design Heuristics are prompts that guide designers in exploring the design spaceduring concept generation. In empirical studies in engineering and design classrooms, DesignHeuristics have been shown to be readily adopted by students, and to result in more creative, andmore diverse, concepts.The focus of this project is to create a
