The current ABET ETAC Criterion 3student outcome on self-directed lifelong learning is translated to specific course activities,assignments, and assessments. An assessment instrument was developed for an engine systemscourse to evaluate the student’s methods of additional learning of existing technical knowledge.Additionally, the instrument asks students to project their

The assignment was given to 35 students across 7 teams. First,students individually scored their projects for a subset of the criteria - teams divided up criteriaamongst their members so that at least two people would score each criterion. Next, studentsdiscussed their individual responses with team members to arrive at a set of consensus scores,with written justifications, for all 14 criteria. We reviewed students’ responses forappropriateness of scores and quality written justifications as part of the structural and

In order to increase the success of the 3D printing, a mentorshipprogram was developed between mechanical engineering students taking an additivemanufacturing lab as a technical elective and first-year engineering students. Prior to submittinga design for printing, the first-year student teams were required to submit it to their assignedmentor, who provided feedback on the design. In the first semester (fall 2018), only studentteams in the honors section of the EDSGN course were partnered with senior mentors.

The intent of the trackingsystem is to maintain a perpendicular angle from the surface of the panel cells to the sun’semitting light rays in-order to maintain optimal power storage throughout the course of the day. Improved design and development of an omni-directional solar tracking system can beconsidered for implementation at an industry scale for achieving optimal power

learning is becoming more common in engineering education. Litzinger et al.argue that expertise is developed through significant learning experiences such as applyingknowledge to real-world problems [1]. Solving real-world problem increases student motivationas well as promotes deep learning and development of expertise. Improvement in engineeringeducation can be realized by the introduction of more “authentic” learning experiences.Authentic learning is social as well as cognitive and includes interpersonal communication, self-directed research, and a focus on the customer just like in a real workplace [2]. Business contextis another element of authenticity. Projects that enhance the ability to create value areworthwhile for both budding
