study is to determine whether these skills have been carried over into the twosemester capstone design course. If the earlier course is effective in teaching experimentaldesign and laboratory techniques, this should translate to more sophisticated experimental designand execution in the capstone design course. To determine whether these concepts have beenretained in the capstone design course, design reports were examined to note the instances ofspecific Measurements and Analysis topics in the design projects. Reports were examined forstudent populations that had taken the revised course and were compared to reports for studentswho had taken the original course with two different instructors.

This article describes how these students learned and applied their knowledge to acritical need and expressed their willingness to serve the community. The article also brieflyinvestigates the structural relationships among the program’s mission, program requirements,learning outcomes, assessment measures, and qualitative elements of the program bydemonstrating students’ work on a capstone project entitled “Wildfire Detection and MonitoringSystem.” In this capstone project, students integrated

A project-based approach3-11 has beenconsidered as one of the most effective ways and has been implemented in different courses.More specifically, capstone design courses8-11 were notably preferred among these courses. Thiswas because engineering students were required to synthesize their knowledge learned through awhole undergraduate curriculum, and apply their skills in senior designs

motivation to learn1, 2, 7.While project-based learning has been widely adopted for senior design capstone courses and isbecoming more common in freshman level courses8, the use of projects in intermediate coursesin engineering science is still rare. The National Science Board9 has identified three keychallenges facing engineering education including the need to retain more engineering majorsand the need to teach these students the professional skills needed to practice in the 21st century.Projects can be an important instructional strategy that engineering educators can implement toaddress these challenges; however, in-depth evaluations of the effect that project-based learninghas on a variety of student outcomes are difficult to find3.

The cassette or ‘chip’ is mated with a small, portable instrument that provides the cassette withcontrolled heating, fluidic actuation and flow control, and detection capabilities. Most commonly, thetest result is determined by measuring an optical signal such as fluorescence. Ideally, the system is self-contained, can be operated by non-technical users, costs about $10 per test, and provides an easily-interpreted clinically-relevant test result in a time frame of one hour or less.From the perspective of engineering education, POC technology offers many opportunities and vehiclesfor interdisciplinary, capstone projects

We are focusing on the immediate need for improved, readily-transferrable techniques for the incorporation of technical writing in engineering courses, mosttypically at the sophomore and junior levels. The premise with selecting the sophomore andjunior levels is that most programs “bookend” technical writing in some fashion, with freshman-level design courses and senior-level capstone courses often being more project-based andalready involving substantial writing. In contrast, the sophomore and junior levels tend not toinclude much writing beyond formatted laboratory reports, although with resource limitationseven these reports have

Pedagogical Best PracticesAbstractThe pedagogy of laboratory courses has been well discussed in the literature, but the extent towhich these best practices are incorporated into laboratory experiment design varies wildly. AtNortheastern University, various capstone design teams over the years have been tasked withdesigning new experimental apparatus for the undergraduate teaching laboratories along withappropriate lab handouts and other instructional material. In many cases, the students involved inthese projects have taken the lab class for which they are designing the experiment and havereported negative experiences, and therefore are motivated to try to improve the class for futurestudents. Student designed labs have the potential to reduce burden

The students received detailed feedback aftereach section, which they could use to revise the section as well as apply it to future sections.Breaking the laboratory report into parts and spreading the work out demonstrated to studentshow to keep the project manageable.
