process of designing, building, and flying an unmanned aerialvehicle (UAV) capable of assisting first responders. As students engaged in design activities, asecond goal was to develop an instrumentation methodology and data architecture needed tofully characterize industry relevant engineering design behaviors as manifested in the digitalenvironments. Multi-disciplinary, multi-university teams consisting of students from 5 major USuniversities participated in a two semesters, year-long capstone project. These courses have beeneffectively offered starting 2013. The third cohort of student teams is now experiencing thiscapstone course. This enables us to gather a significant amount of data related to designbehaviors that form the basis for many of

body motion, impact, fluid flow, and fluid-solidinteraction.Though certainly not all, a significant percentage of students who complete the required FEAcourse express a strong interest in a continuation course. In addition, the university's industrialpartners, both advisory committee members and Capstone Design Program sponsors, havecommunicated the desire for graduates to have additional competencies in simulation. Finally,students in the senior level Capstone Design course frequently have the opportunity to performadvanced simulation as part of their senior project. A recent example is a project sponsored bythe NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory that focused on their land-based 70m deep space antenna.They wanted to understand the phenomena

Not only are expenses incurred inhardware costs but also in manpower hours setting up and tearing down computing labs, installingsoftware and maintaining images.In [1], the authors provide excellent survey of the opportunities of using Cloud Computing ineducational environment. We also believe that the problems identified above can be solved byintegrating a private cloud computing environment into James Madison University’s educationalresources. This challenge became the topic of a senior capstone project at James Madison Uni-versity. Two students and their advisor proposed to address these issues by utilizing VMwarevSphere [2] and Horizon View software [3] suites. Horizon View is a cloud computing solutionthat provides access to

Science and Engineer- ing at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He obtained his Diploma and Ph.D. at Friedrich- Schiller-University in Jena, Germany for his theoretical work on transparent conducting oxides. Before he started at UIUC he worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on a project that aimed at a description of non-adiabatic electron ion dynamics. His research revolves around excited electronic states and their dynamics in various materials using accurate computational methods and making use of modern super computers in order to understand, for instance, how light is absorbed in photo-voltaic materials. c American Society for

He is the first and only individual from his native country and Texas Tech University to have received this prestigious award. Fur- thermore, he was a recipient of the Texas Tech University President’s Excellence in Diversity & Equity award in 2014 and was the only graduate student to have received the award, which was granted based on outstanding activities and projects that contribute to a better understanding of equity and diversity issues within Engineering Education.

morebasic background in math and science, with relatively less emphasis on general engineeringsciences, and more so with extensive technology and design content in accordance with generalnotion that engineering technology students are trained to apply technologies to design in a morehands-on fashion.In light of recommendations from industrial advisory board meetings, the regular curriculumupdates of our university curricula has been constantly revised not for the FE exam, but rather tostay in conformance with TAC of ABET accreditation criteria. Our capstone senior projects andtwo review courses were introduced earlier to train our technology students to analytically applythe theory and practical applications of math, science, and engineering
