Learning Courses using Crowd SignalsProject-based learning (PBL) is a growing component of engineering education in the UnitedStates. Its perceived educational value is exemplified by its explicit mention in ABET’sCriterion 5, which requires engineering programs to provide a culminating design experience thatincorporates engineering standards and multiple constraints. Capstone courses and design-build-test projects allow students to synthesize and apply engineering knowledge, skills, and tools toopen-ended design problems. Students work and communicate in teams to complete tasks likegenerating requirements, and testing and integrating equipment. There appears to be widespreadconsensus that project-based learning is

Kathy Kasley, Ph.D, Emeritus Professor, Pamela Phillips, Professor, Joseph LaSalle, BSEE, Joe Bracha, BSEE, and Ashok Kavadapu. BSEE College of Engineering, Colorado Technical UniversityIntroductionThe key contribution is that two frameworks are described in this paper for an undergraduatecapstone course. The capstone project is the Compressed Air Controller Tire Inflation System(C.A.C.T.I.S.). The project’s intent is to design a system reducing the amount of time and effortinvolved in achieving proper vehicle tire inflation. The CACTIS uses a convenient touch screendisplay and a rugged air distribution box such that multiple tires can be inflated simultaneously.This project serves as another example in

subsystems.It is relatively easy for academic institutions that are starting a new mechanical engineeringundergraduate program to create a curriculum that includes a sequence of courses and learningexperiences to teach product design and development as well as fundamental concepts related toST and SE. Unfortunately, in the case of existing programs it can be difficult to make substantialmodifications to the curriculum. Under those circumstances, the only option is to work within theframework of the curriculum that is already in place. In this regard, most mechanical engineeringundergraduate programs have a capstone senior design experience, and many programs include acourse in which students learn about product design and development.
