for, and an ability to engage inlifelong learning. In most of the Engineering Technology (ET) programs, capstone projects aredesigned for students to utilize their technical knowledge, problem solving skills, and projectmanagement skills to develop a product or a system related to their discipline. This paper presentsa methodology of utilizing the capstone course as a vehicle to enhance and assess student’s lifelong learning skills. During the semester long course, one student team signed up to learn thesubject of adhesive technology that is not taught in the current curriculum. The student teamdesigned and built an adhesive test apparatus that can be used for outreach activities. Anotherstudent team was assigned to learn rapid prototyping

The ME program is more theoretical and requires more advanced mathematicswhere the MET program is more hands-on with mathematics requirements up to Calculus II.However, the programs are taught side-by-side and complement each other. When we developedthe ME program we wanted to maintain as much of the strong hands-on aspect of MET

Specifically, this project will involve thedevelopment of a fast and real time method to control a device that is readily available to thepublic and relatively easy and inexpensive to implement in industry.A smart phone application will be created using a graphical user interface (GUI) that representsthe controls of a motor. The brand of smart phone must accept custom programmed applications.The smart phone will be programmed to interpret GUI inputs and create wireless signals. Thehardware used to create and transmit the wireless signals will be pre-existing in the phone andcommon to most phones available in the market

The capstone projects are intended to be culminatingexperiences, drawing upon a wide range of knowledge from courses in the curriculum. Studentsare responsible for written project specifications, planning and milestone identification,implementation of the work, an oral presentation, and a final written report.Because these projects are so comprehensive, they provide an opportunity for faculty to assess awide range of student learning that is directly related to program outcomes. For this reason, METfaculty developed a rubric for assessing capstone projects, as shown on the following page

Similarly, the associate degree level ofElectrical Engineering Technology coursework is re-introduced via a pressure sensor projectcomprised of a collection of analog and digital circuits studied during the first two years ofcollege. The paper presents the "project philosophy" together with specific technical andhumanities project components. Students can work independently or in teams composed of twoor three students for the purpose of cost sharing. However, each student is required to build aproject prototype and write a project proposal. In

This paper analyzes the student learning outcomes, forEngineering and Engineering Technology (E&ET) programs, where the curriculum has beentailored to include undergraduate research, as compared to lecture & lab-based curriculum.Previous research, on which the present work is based, shows that research projects allowstudents to explore, discover and innovate in a limited period of time and space. Theliterature reveals that undergraduate research helps to integrate students with the faculty andresults in publications which appear in peer-reviewed journals. Thus the student is able tocreate portfolios that shed light on their learning and skills development in the professions.Through this work, the following

Everytechnical course, either core or elective, has a laboratory section that complements it. Photonicsis an upper division elective course focused on fiber-optics/light theory and their applications.The laboratory experiments in this course are collection of experiments in geometry/wave optics,fiber optics, and optical communications. This course holds many related applications in fieldssuch as: physics, energy consumption, economy, and in both food, and health science etc. Page 13.257.2The way
