. Page 15.371.8While the technology readiness level is not linearly related to the rubric scores of capstoneproject demonstrations, when plotted against the TRL the demonstration score, S, has a quadraticdependence given by S = (TRL - 6)-.13 + 3.3. Thus demonstration scores are highest (mean of3.3) for a TRL of 6. This technology readiness level is defined as "Representative model orprototype system, which is well beyond the breadboard tested for TRL 5, tested in a relevantenvironment. Examples include testing a prototype in a high fidelity laboratory environment orin simulated operational environment."11. Thus capstone project which have students createprototype systems generally scored better than those which are more speculative or research

the engineering education front inthe 1990’s. The following quote from the EWB website explains their philosophy: Poverty is not about weakness. For the 800 million people who go hungry each day and the one billion who lack access to clean water, poverty is an absence of opportunity. Engineers Without Borders is responding to this urgent need, helping people in developing communities gain access to technologies that will improve their lives. We believe that technology, when appropriately incorporated into each community's social, cultural, economic and political context, can drive extraordinary change.The focus of EWB is on developing the technical capacity at the local level in developingcountries to ensure that innovative
Senior Design projects can develop these skills and possibleareas of improvement. It has shown that traditional methods are still applicable, but needsome adaptation to be effective. Future work could be done in exploring the effects ofdifferent languages and cultures on the designs from global design teams.AcknowledgementsSpecial thanks should be given to PACE for the sponsorship and support of the Seniordesign project.Bibliography1.

All responses to the question “Is this course helping you preparefor your future career” were positive, except the following two neutral or partially negativecomments: - “Yes, but it is hard to tell since I already have a job.” - “No, the course has no bearing on my lack of career direction.”As for the comments on the overall course, one student suggested “work in more group activitiesand group discussion,” and another wanted to get a regular grade instead of an “S/U” grade; allother comments were positive. Some answers were - “The ethics section was done well.” - “Everything was great. Thank you very much! “ - “Overall if I was to have had this class before my design project, I would not have

Perhaps the most significant column is the “Neither.” This column shows the percentageof respondents whose schools do not require the learning experience or offer it as an elective.The largest percentages occur for non-classroom experiences, items 7, 8 and 9 (visits, summerinternships and Co-op’s). While non-classroom experiences are meaningful and desirable, thesenumbers are understandable considering the resources required and the national trend to reducetotal curriculum credit hours.

computationally simulate the flow before they startdesigning the rest. They were required to study and explore different simulation tools such asSolidworks Flow simulation, Comsol Multiphysics CFD, and Ansys Fluent, all available on campus.The first simulation in Fig 6a shows the flow in the testing chamber is not uniform as the designintention. It varies from bottom to top in the range of 18 to 40 m/s. This velocity variance is caused bythe sharp ninety degree flow direction change. The distance between the test chamber and the ninetydegree angle not long enough to allow the flow to fully develop. Obviously, 45 degree angled turningvanes needed to guide the flow gradually to the test chamber. The next three simulations in Fig 6b, c,and d show how the
