Although many of these technologies are still indevelopment in lab, some of these technologies are already available and demonstrated by theprototypes such as Google and Toyota self-driving cars. To prepare for the future workforceneeds of autonomous vehicles in the automotive industry, we develop new, technologicallyprogressive curricula and hands-on lab as well as student project materials. This proposed “LaneKeeping System by Visual Technology” is a research and concept-proving student project thatwill be studied and used to develop teaching materials for the subject of vehicle automation,autonomy and connectivity.

Secondly, we address theoutcomes of students learning achievement including continuous applications of their acquiredDSP skills in other related courses and their motivations for continuing to pursue the upper-levelsignal processing related courses such as the advanced digital signal processing with multimediaapplications. More importantly, we examine the course assessment according to analysis of thecollected data from students’ learning outcome survey, project evaluation, and further addressthe possible improvements of the course content

Design of modern day products involves the knowledgeof different engineering disciplines, as well as an ability to communicate and work well in multi-disciplinary teams. Because engineers are traditionally trained in fields such as eitherMechanical or Electrical engineering, many of today’s engineering graduates are not wellprepared to function competently in environments that require them to work on products whereelectrical and mechanical knowledge areas are intertwined.An ongoing NSF-funded project addresses these competency gaps through the development oftwo courses incorporating team-oriented and project-based activities, as a follow-up to previousefforts centered

teamwork, and satisfies the majority of the ABET 3a-k criteria. Experiencegained from disseminating the case studies through the earlier NSF CCLI grants, as well asreports from others, shows that there are many significant challenges in introducing multimediacase studies into engineering classrooms. Some of the challenges are: changes in the role of theinstructor, apprehension about using innovative materials, difficulties in evaluating and testingstudents, and training students to engage in effective team work. The goals of this project werederived in order to address these challenges. They are to provide faculty members with hands-on experience of working in teams, explain case study teaching strategies, connect STEMtheories to the real-world

approach is problem-based or project-basedlearning. In problem-based learning, students are presented with problems to solve and thendiscover the material needed. In contrast, project-based learning is more hands-on with physicalhardware as the motivator for the solution-space search.11 An advantage of project-basedlearning, in our view, is the close connection to real-world constraints including methods ofmanufacture and assembly. We have found that this approach is very engaging to students, andthat when properly conceived, we can achieve both depth and breadth of understanding.12Anecdotally, many potential employers that we speak with show a strong preference for studentsthat have had practical experience in their undergraduate education.

This paperreports on the results from including case studies in various courses at a diverse data set ofuniversities. The results strongly suggest that failure case studies support a subset of ABEToutcomes that may be referred to as the “Professional Component” of the curriculum.
