capstone projects. We have noticed gaps instudents’ software engineering abilities when they begin their capstone projects. It is not alwaysthe case that students were not exposed to the necessary concepts in previous courses, but ratherthey that were not asked to apply these skills in project settings. In the past, instructors (andemployers) have relied on just-in-time learning to fill in the conceptual gaps students have whenthey begin project work.Several engineering educators regard experiential learning as the best way to train the nextgeneration of engineers. This requires engineering programs to go beyond offering industry-based capstone courses and internships. It is our belief that introducing active learningopportunities prior to the

The implementation strategies include introducing BIM as standalone courses,utilizing cross-discipline BIM courses, adding BIM labs in capstone/project courses, andintegrating BIM into existing courses14.Pavelko and Chasey performed a survey of 59 construction programs that were members of theAssociated Schools of Construction (ASC) and the American Council for ConstructionEducation (ACCE). The results indicated that 70% of the respondents had covered BIM in theircurriculum, of which most were on 3D coordination (82%), about half on 4D scheduling (46%),and a third on 5D estimating (35%)7, 15.

The purpose of thepresent project is to use the learning and analytical capabilities of IBM Watson NaturalLanguage Classifier to analyze capstone papers submitted by undergraduates in a course onengineering ethics. The capstone papers that we analyzed required students to identify anddiscuss a contemporary engineering technology (e.g., autonomous tractor trailers) and toexplicitly discuss the ethical issues involved. In the two tests described here we assessed whetherWatson-NLC could classify sentences from students’ papers as either related to ethics or notrelated to ethics. Additionally, we consider the utility of these simple machine-basedclassifications

It is anticipated thatstudent involvement with the second year IDP will better prepare them for their capstone projectin their fourth year.The IDP was expected to further illustrate the value of teamwork and provide students with theexperience of working with others. The intent of this collaboration was to encourage students toshare ideas and build off each other’s thoughts to create an optimal design.

ABET StudentOutcome (c) specifically refers to, “an ability to design a system, component or process to meetdesired needs…”.Another recent trend in engineering education has been towards an emphasis on experiential,hands-on learning. It is recognized that the practice of engineering requires a mix of skills, manyof which are best learned through experience. In engineering education, this experientiallearning most often takes place in capstone projects and industry internships. It is much lesscommon for core engineering courses like Design of Machine Elements to incorporate a project-based, experiential component.

The benefits of integrating the MCUtools in the DSP course are very promising. It permits more practical DSP laboratories and DSP-based capstone projects that render richer design experiences and makes meeting realistic designconstraints feasible. Furthermore, it provides an integrated laboratory curriculum structurebetween embedded microcontroller and DSP courses which reduces students’ unnecessary effortof learning new tools in different courses.
