. Erin Susan Araj, Santa Clara University c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 A Comparison of Paper vs. Electronic (Portfolio) Notebooks for Engineering Design Projects Abstract An engineer’s notebook has long been regarded as a critical feature in the engineering design process to capture the collection of information and design thinking not only for the author’s use, but also the use of others. As technology progresses, the use of a hardbound book for this recording of thoughts and reporting technical information has been extended to electronic formats. This paper details a comparison between engineer’s notebooks recorded on paper using bound notebooks and those done

paper, we focus on the lessons learned from adding newtechnology to an existing UAV curriculum. In addition, we ask our audience for feedback relatedto supporting students in using novel tools for engineering design and for ideas for how to bestcapture students’ skill development over a relatively short period of time.We learned that the addition of technologies, like AR, to students’ learning experiences, thetechnology needs to serve a purpose that helps students see the value in a new tool to helpaddress the challenge they are working on. This gives students a coherent experience even in aweekly after-school program. For example, we saw youth use their ideas about designingskyhooks from craft materials to help them decide which 3D printed

The specific processes required in order to achieveand maintain accreditation mandate mechanical engineering programs to become structured anddefined 3. Mechanical engineering students are required to apply principles of engineering, basicscience, and mathematics, in order to model, analyze, design, and realize physical systems,components or processes. Furthermore, ABET states that engineers need to be able to applytheir knowledge towards creative solutions to mechanical problems. However, some studieshave suggested that creativity and design principles are often overlooked, downplayed, or nottaught as thoroughly as they should be
).1Obtaining accreditation is of great importance to undergraduate engineering programs becausethe term “engineer” is regulated in Canada. For example, in Ontario, the practice of professionalengineering is regulated by Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO). In order to be granted aprofessional engineer (P.Eng.) license from PEO, an applicant must “hold an undergraduateengineering degree from a Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB)-accreditedprogram (or possess equivalent qualifications).”2Similar to Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) accreditation in theUnited States,3 CEAB accreditation also ensures that programs are continually improving.Assessment of twelve CEAB GrAtts and use of the outcomes to inform decisions on

bring them into the service of man ... To make contributions of this kind the engineer requires the imagination to visualize the needs of society and to appreciate what is possible as well as the technological and broad social age understanding to bring his vision to reality.3This idea was echoed recently by Domenico Grasso, the Dean of Engineering and MathematicalSciences at the University of Vermont, in an article entitled “Is It Time to Shut DownEngineering Colleges?” Consider the following exert. …engineers need to grow beyond their traditional roles as problem-solvers to become problem-definers. To catalyze this shift, our engineering curriculum, now packed with technical courses, needs a fresh
portable cooling systemintegrated into medical protective garments, and a paperless product to record and monitor healthin a rural community.In each of these courses, two instructors taught the course with one specializing in the designthinking process and the other having expertise in the discipline. The Assistant Director of theYale Design Center (Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering) was the design specialist in each course.A research scientist from the medical school and a social entrepreneur served as the secondinstructor for the medical device design and appropriate technology courses, respectively. Thecourses are noteworthy in that they are neither introductory (cornerstone) nor ultimate (capstone)courses within a discipline, but rather are mid

According to Paretti, etal.2, capstone projects afford engineering students an opportunity to integrate the disparatecomponents of technical knowledge gained in an academic environment where courses arepresented as standalone bodies of knowledge. As a culminating experience, senior capstone is asingular significant experience where students: apply and reinforce the knowledge, skills andabilities (KSAs) learned from course work; enhance communication KSAs; developinterpersonal KSAs
