calledAdvanced Manufacturing and Prototyping Integrated to Unlock Potential (AMP-IT-UP), we havedeveloped an electronic engineering notebook to support engineering design coursework at themiddle and high school levels. The electronic notebooks have associated rubrics to be used forboth research and grading purposes, and these rubrics have been tailored specifically to both themiddle school and high school audiences. In this paper, a description of the engineering notebook,known as the Engineering Design Process Log or EDP Log, and the associated rubrics areprovided. This is accompanied by feedback from teachers about the benefits and challenges ofusing the EDP logs in the classroom after one or more semesters of implementing the AMP-IT-UP curriculum

Reflection as a processmust be taught to students so that they are guided to better understand and utilize this skillattributed to successful engineers and professionals in general. An initial framework offered bythe CPREE team includes specific elements of reflection – experience, features, lens, meaning,action, intentional, and dialectical – and provides examples of how these elements might framestudents use of reflection in a homework assignment. Context and examples of these elements ofreflection are found in Integrating Reflection into Engineering Education.4Reflection and DesignThe use of reflection in

Thestudents can apply knowledge learned from the engineering curriculum to real-world projects intheir senior capstone design class. This paper focuses on discussing our classroom experiencesin integrating industry sponsored projects from a startup company into a senior capstone designcourse in a computer engineering program. The capstone design course builds uponfundamentals of an ABET-accredited computer engineering curriculum. The design coursesimulates real-world project experiences and offers an opportunity for students to learn new skillsets including the design, debug, build, and test of prototype systems as well as

The study adopted a pretest and posttest quasi-experimental design. Over an 18-week intervention, students in the experimental group completed the above- mentioned intervention, while comparison group worked on projects that did not integrate problem solving activities. Participants’ final reports, which proposed solutions to the real-world issues, such as reservoir sedimentation, were evaluated and scored by an expert panel, including representatives from academic, governmental, and industrial backgrounds.

assessment practices in their curriculum through an online surveygiven to the same cohort of students in third year and fourth year undergraduate engineering.Keywords: Assessment practices, Design based learning, Students’ perceptions.IntroductionAssessment in higher education is a process of evaluating students curricular performancebased on learning outcomes using limited context of standardized rubrics. In this 21st century,students need to acquire career focused knowledge and skills expected by the industry. Tomeet those industry requirements and societal needs as a graduate, student’s level ofachievements have to be assessed appropriately. Academia has to develop changing qualityof assessment methods, which will fulfil the demand of new
globalcollaborative projects, frequently in an ad-hoc manner. Therefore, we have not been able toestablish a systematic framework to effectively guide the multidisciplinary teams to maximizetheir learning experience. Hopefully, this pilot project and the subsequent long-termdevelopment can better prepare engineering educators to integrate the concepts of virtual teamand global design process into the core design curriculum so that more students can be benefittedfrom the training.III.

represents the sum of the areas ofthe composite parts or simply the total area. Also, if the total area is symmetrical about an axis,the centroid of the area lies on the axis.10Figure 6. Algebraic Distances for the Centroid.The moment of inertia of an area is a geometric property that is calculated about an axis. It is ageometric property that is calculated about an axis and for the x and y-axes shown in figure 7 itis defined as the integrals. These integrals have no physical meaning, but become very usefulwhen combined with the parallel axis theorem for an area. Note: Although similar information,the moment of inertia of an area should not be confused with the moment of inertia of a mass,which is a dynamical property of matter.10Figure 7. Area

Electrical Engineering Using a Para Didactic LaboratoryAbstractThe objective of this paper is to report the implementation of a Para didactic Laboratory in aprivate college of engineering in Brazil to improve the training of engineering students so thatthey can become industry-ready graduates.A very important component in the education of an engineer is the professional tacit knowledgewhich is obtained through the interaction with more experienced professionals. This normallytakes place after graduation. In order to expose the students to an element of professional tacitknowledge sooner, in lieu of the traditional approaches such as curriculum change and teachertraining, we founded a Para didactic Laboratory at our college

In brief, these spaces can bedescribed as follows:• Product Realization Lab (PRL) at Stanford University is a large and well-equipped makerspace, which is deeply integrated into the curriculum of engineering and design students in the form of project-centered classes. Students learn manufacturing and design skills in parallel by designing and building physical prototypes in a hands-on manner.• Hobby Shop at MIT is a space with a large wood shop and some other machines for university affiliates, focusing more on personal projects and

In my own institution,Northwestern University, for the past 20 years, the education of all engineers begins in twoquarter sequence of Design Thinking & Communication (DTC) [2]. This curriculum augments thetraditional engineering educational pedagogy with the early introduction of designerly forms ofinquiry, and design practice experiences as a foundational aspect of what NorthwesternEngineering has coined “Whole Brained Engineering” education.

In response to increasing space and time constraints, faculty are findingways to integrate teaching and research. This paper seeks to provide an integrated model foruniversity activities, one in which both students and researchers benefit from research, teachingand extracurricular activities.A primary argumentative model, termed the scarcity model3, claims that research and teachingare in conflict due to time, energy, and commitment. Time, according to a meta-analysis byHattie and Marsh3, may not be as influential as commonly thought. The data indicate that there isnot a one-to-one replacement of teaching and research time.

studentoutcomes.4 While the ABET “General Criterion 3: Student Outcomes A-K” are meant to besatisfied throughout an entire curriculum, the course outcomes of most engineering capstonesseek to meet most of these outcomes in an integrated fashion during capstone design courses.The following outcomes are used to frame and assess the capstone engineering course in thedepartment of this research. 1. Given a statement of customer need, students design a system to satisfy that need based on commercial product development best practices. 2. Students will demonstrate the ability to effectively communicate their design. 3. Students will demonstrate the ability to fabricate a functioning prototype of their design. 4. Students will demonstrate the
entrepreneurial processes (ideation, customer discovery, clientvalidation, and commercial viability) that teach the above concepts. Furthermore, we draw onpedagogical research in experiential learning [26] and scaffolding [18] to “package” the processesto support student learning with a minimum of resources.1 It should be noted that n our approachas each of the processes can be implemented independently, different programs can choose toimplement only those that fit best with their program’s logistics and goals.We emphasize that the four entrepreneurial processes we have developed and integrated into ourcapstone curriculum are designed to familiarize our students with an early product developmentphase of a start-up, where limited resources both in terms

sequence of courses is intended for students to not only use skills learnedthroughout their academia endeavors, but also to require students to go beyond traditional coursework and expand their knowledge base by deeper researcher, through consulting with subjectmatter experts and experiential learning. Most projects are industry sponsored and for aconsiderable portion of students, the capstone project represents their first interaction with anindustry-like environment. At ECU DoE, two sequential project management and design coursesare required before students begin the capstone course as part of a spiral curriculum [1]. Thesecourses are designed so that the students can begin thinking about the design process and gainsome experience in managing a
surprising result was that students ranked the integration of theory as one of the leastbeneficial research experiences. However, learning about the challenges of implementinganalytical designs was ranked as one of the highest. These results are in conflict with each other.The latter response indicates that the students did learn about the integration of theory andpractice. However, the former response shows that the students lacked the appropriate languageto explain it.6.2 Recommendations for Future CoursesThe benefits of the project may also contribute to the enhancement of undergraduate productdesign courses. While product family design is an important approach used in consumer goodindustries, it is often taught only at the graduate level. The
