Session ETD 325 Engineering Technology Capstone Projects: Microcomputer-Based Solutions Dr. Immanuel A. Edinbarough, Dr. Jesus A. Gonzalez, Adriana Olvera The University of Texas Rio Grande ValleyIntroductionThis paper describes the success examples of previous capstone projects, where the studentswere challenged to solve problems in technology development and smart environments. Theseexamples provided the students with a team-based experience in the product design cycle, fromresearch, design, parts fabrication, product assembly, to the implementation of microcomputer-based systems to solve a real-world problem

sustainability, is crucial to work in today’s society and profession. The capstonecourse is an ideal platform for students to engage in a real world construction project proceduresand structural design processes while focusing on the increasing demand of sustainability to theclient.Penn State Harrisburg’s Structural Design & Construction Engineering Technology (SDCET) programoffers two different capstone courses. One course focuses on Structural Design, while the other capstonecourse relates to Construction Management. Student teams from both courses work together on the designand construction of a building structure. Typically, the building structure is a project provided by a localstructural engineering or construction management firm. By working

solving skills needed in today’s industry. We workwith industry to fund scholarships, and host recruitment fairs for full-time job placement. Withindustry assistance and funding, students work on faculty/student industry projects andfaculty/company directed capstone senior design projects, as a bridge between education and thework environment. Through our Engineer-In-Residence program, Technology graduate studentsare placed at companies and supported for a semester long “in-house” project. There are manyother avenues used to provide pathways between industry and academics.We have developed a strong triangle which links student, industry, and university. Theindustry/academic partnership must be present in all phases of development and delivery

variables that predict ET student “seriousness of purpose” as defined by the senior capstone instructor? 3. What academic and curricular variables influenced student success in an ET undergraduate degree program?Use of Multiple Linear Regression and CART ModelingPredicting student success has traditionally utilized multiple linear regression (MLR), and thismethod was used to predict student success (defined as having GPA>2.8 at graduation).However, a binary classification method was preferable in this case, as primary project goal wasto predict whether the student will be successful or not, rather than trying to predict the specificGPA he or she might earn. Further, MLR assumes Type 1 and Type II errors are approximatelyequal. When

American Society for Engineering Education Session ETD 526 By selecting 31 credit hours of Electronic Systems courses, 27 credit hours ofManufacturing/Mechanical courses, and allowing MXET students to participate in either theElectronics Systems or Manufacturing/Mechanical capstone experience, the MXET program wasable to be rapidly created and offered to current and future Texas A&M students. Using thesecourses allowed the MXET program to fulfill the sophomore and junior-level courses using coursework that already existed. In addition, based on these sister programs having significantinteractions with a wide range of industries, the

University.Development of the Embedded RTOS Educational Platform The embedded RTOS educational platform consists of two parts: the Modular IntegratedStackable Layer (MISL) intelligent layer and the analog system environment (ASE) board(Figure 1). The MISL intelligence layer, typically the TI-MSP430F5438A, can be directlyinterfaced to the ASE board. The RTOS platform has integrated numerous typical analog devicesand new communication technologies into RTOS curriculum education, which mainly includesMISL architecture, inputs and outputs, analog and digital signal conversion, and wired &wireless communications. This platform is also designed for embedded systems education fromentry-level courses at the sophomore level to final Capstone Design projects
