Laboratory at Georgia Tech. Farrokh’s current research focus is model-based realization of complex systems by managing uncertainty and complexity. The key question he is investigating is what are the principles underlying rapid and robust concept exploration when the analysis models are incomplete and possibly inaccurate? His quest for answers to the key question are anchored in three projects, namely, Integrated Realization of Robust, Resilient and Flexible Networks Integrated Realization of Engineered Materials and Products Managing Organized and Disorganized Complexity: Exploration of the Solution Space His current education focus is on creating and implementing, in partnership with industry, a curriculum for

problem – theformulation applied to redesign the tested chassis component. They specifically stated that thesimulation skills and knowledge related to structural optimization would serve them well in anyfuture job that would require them to design light-weight vehicle structures and components.Summary and ConclusionThe students who completed this vehicle structural integration course gained valuable experienceregarding how to select components for an experiment, how to set up an experiment, how toevaluate experimental results, and how to improve a design via computational simulation. In theirfuture engineering positions they will be either designing or evaluating experimental results on aregular basis. The skills gained from this course will make
the key to successfully cultivatingOutstanding Engineers, and puts forward the implementation principles of being under theguidance of industry, strengthening school-enterprise cooperation, considering the differentclassifications of colleges and universities, and promoting with various models, whichrequires colleges and universities to integrate the school-enterprise relationship, and shiftfrom the paradigm of “on-campus cultivating” to the paradigm of “open school-enterprisecooperation training”.Therefore, an in-depth study of school-enterprise joint training of the Outstanding EngineersPlan will broaden the depth and breadth of the Outstanding Engineers Plan educationresearch at the theoretical level, improve the quality of the Outstanding

results from the combination of grasping and transforming experience” (Kolb 1984, p. 41). Kolb’s experiential learning theory describes how students absorb and use information and is commonly shown in a four stage cycle ‐ concrete experience, observation of and reflection on that experience, formation of abstract concepts based upon the reflection, and testing the new concepts.1 A number of studies have shown the benefits of experiential learning and various models of integrating the concepts in the college curriculum. 2 A common way of providing experiential learning to college students are internship and co‐op experiences.

This paper presents the implementation of a system-based,sponsor-partner, collaboration focused, learning approach within the curriculum of theDepartment of Automotive Engineering at Clemson University which meets these real-world design engineering needs.The program implementing this real-world approach is called Deep Orange (DO). TheDeep Orange initiative is an integral part of the automotive graduate program at theClemson University International Center for Automotive Research. The initiative wasdeveloped to provide first-year graduate engineering students with hands-on experience ofthe knowledge attained in the various
clubs and students organizations now thrive here.Table IV: Educational approach at University College London, UK (UCL) Educational Key Characteristics feature • Integrated Engineering Program (IEP) Challenges: two intensive five-week design projects tackled by incoming first-year students. Both Challenges are multidisciplinary and brings together students from across UCL Engineering; • Scenarios cycles: five-week curricular clusters, which underpin the curriculum in Years 1 and 2 of study, where students spend four weeks learning engineering theory and skills that are then applied in a

Paper ID #22907Assembling a Successful Industry-sponsored Senior Capstone Program: LessonsLearned from a Startup Effort at a Liberal Arts UniversityDr. Lori Houghtalen, Abilene Christian University Lori Houghtalen is an Assistant Professor of Engineering and Physics at Abilene Christian University. She is Co-Director for Senior Clinic, the capstone senior design course, and teaches courses in the engineering and physics curriculum. Dr. Houghtalen has won awards from the National Science Foundation, Georgia Tech, the ARCS Foundation, and the Association of European Operational Research Societies. She holds degrees from the
water curricula tomeet industry demands. Therefore, developing water-related courses in Egypt is a must. Development of the finalized undergraduate courses listed in Table 5 is underway byEPU faculty teams with assistance from US university Center collaborators. Initiation of therevised water curriculum throughout the five EPU water programs is scheduled to begin inFall of 2021 with the initiation of prerequisite courses across all EPUs, followed byadditional water engineering courses being introduced in subsequent semesters by select EPUmembers and broadcast to all EPU programs through an online MOODLE LMS. For future research, getting students' perspectives on courses' importance can addadvantages to the adjusted curricula

Their involvement with this collaborative project allowed the students to gainexperience with a practical, real-world engineering project and enabled them to use the skillsintroduced throughout their curriculum, as well as provide them with an opportunity to begin torefine their communication and project management skills. According to ABET (2017):“Baccalaureate degree programs must provide a capstone or integrating experience that developsstudent competencies in applying both technical and non-technical skills in solving problems”[4].
