Instrumentation (anElectrical Engineering course) and Software Maintenance and Reengineering from ComputerSciences and Software Engineering department collaborated on five Internet of Things (IoT)projects. The collaboration has revealed both challenges and positive outcomes. This paperdescribes the collaboration, the students’ feedback and lessons learned. 1. IntroductionEngineering projects have become complex in the 20th century and require multiple teams fromdifferent disciplines to work collaboratively to solve problems. Collaboration betweenmultidisciplinary teams has become a standard in industries; however, educational curricula havebeen slow to adapt. Although most engineering programs have a capstone design course as a partof their curricula

and Treagust [5] suggest that one of the main challenges of PBL in engineeringeducation is to ensure students still develop a strong fundamental understanding of engineeringprinciples in addition to demonstrating higher levels of motivation and better communication andteamwork skills.Ideally PBL experiences must be integrated throughout the undergraduate program, rather than asingle capstone project, in order for learning to be most effective [19],[7]. Furthermore, if theseprojects are providing an integrated contextual environment, the students can also developcommunication, independence, confidence and initiative, and project management skills [19]. Addingcontextual relevance to the project engages the students and makes them feel that the

assignment was added to the co-op sequence, it was noticed that students wereproposing some projects that had a lot of merit but that they were too complex for one student tocomplete within a single co-op semester. To support the overall curriculum within the GVSUengineering programs, the employers were encouraged to submit these proposals forconsideration as a project for the industry sponsored capstone projects that all GVSUengineering students are required to complete. These multi-disciplinary projects are completedby teams of four to six students over the course of two semesters. Having a well-defined projectproposal and a student that is familiar with the company, which the employer can request be amember of the team, leads to very successful

Application of Kolb’s ELT and learningcycle is not uncommon in engineering, especially in the design of capstone courses. Forexample, Jassim [4] used Kolb’s experiential learning cycle to guide the design of capstonedesign projects in mechanical engineering. Potisuk [5] also used Kolb’s guidance to design atwo-semester capstone sequence in electrical and computer engineering.Informed by the work of Kolb and many others, the National Society of Experiential Education(NSEE) proposes eight principles of good practice for all

The LSAMP program provided potential support network contacts anddemonstrated the organization and flow of work within a modern research laboratory. Thesophomore seminar concentrated on communication skills and career selection.During the summer before their junior year, students typically conducted their own researchproject in a Multidisciplinary Engineering Research Fellowship (MERF). The MERF experiencewas crafted to resemble the capstone experience included in most STEM majors and provide aforeshadowing of the same project management and people skills necessary to be successful inindustry [18] [19].

our students. Each year, engineeringstudents complete approximately 30 senior capstone projects for a variety of businesses. In anygiven semester, over 150 engineering students are out in the work-place on one of their three co-op rotations. Internships in other disciplines drives the number of students to over 300. Withoutour industry partners, we would be unable to provide authentic projects for students or ensurethat they graduate with real-world employment experience.One of the major challenges in getting a mandatory co-op program up and running was buildingour employer network and helping them to understand the benefits of the co-op model. SincePCEC’s co-op model is rare among universities, many companies had no experience workingwith

backgrounds.” Additionally, Hora et al’s recent investigationof online internships suggests that remote interns are more likely to be upper- or middle-class,and those internships are more likely to be unpaid [14].The benefits of participation in internships or co-ops accrue both to students (in educationaloutcomes and personal development) and to institutions. Internships help build studentcapabilities and skills for capstone projects, and provide hands-on experience that may resonateespecially well with students who learn best experientially [15], [16]. Additionally, internshipsmay bolster student and mentor motivation, as well as the formation of an engineering identityfor participating students and student retention [2], [17]–[19]. Institutions

Undergraduate engineering programs all haveintended learning outcomes aimed at these practices, such as “an ability to design and conductexperiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data” and “an ability to design a system,component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints” [10]. As noted above,these practices are highly valued by employers, who note that recent college graduates often lackproficiency with these practices [11]. The ideal place to learn these practices is in the real world,making capstone projects, internships, and other activities that require students to work onauthentic problems highly valued experiences.

At CarnegieMellon University, students in the Department of Mechanical Engineering conduct prototypingin at least one core course each year of their undergraduate career.The safe and correct use of rapid fabrication equipment is taught individually through hands-ontraining in class and directed practice outside of class.
