, which is rooted in the concept of providing a hands-on learning experience tostudents. As hands-on learning is the prevalent way of education in ET programs throughout theworld, a majority of the courses taught in the programs have a laboratory component. On theother hand, capstone design projects (senior design projects) are a common hands-on course forfinal year undergraduate students across all engineering and technology disciplines.The capstone design courses provide an opportunity for undergraduate students to get involvedin open-ended real-world problems. The courses help students explore the societal need to applytheir knowledge gained over the years of undergraduate engineering or engineering technologyeducation. Starting with the

Department of Geological and Mining Engineering and Sciences Michigan Technological University, Houghton, Michigan, USA *{sazizi, avsergue, tarshizi}@mtu.eduAbstractThe objective of this project is to facilitate the use of automation in an underground miningenvironment. In an active underground mine, there are several hazards a worker can face. Theimplementation of autonomous control of the mobile equipment used in these mining operationsis one of the ways to cut down the number of injuries. It can also result in less time wasted for theworkers as well as an overall safer mining environment. With autonomous vehicles in undergroundmines, it is less likely for accidents to occur involving mine

4600: Technical Practicum is a senior level required capstone design course offered bythe department of engineering technology, surveying and digital media. This course is offeredevery semester and requires the student to synthesize and apply subject matter studies in previousrequired courses and apply them to a realistic problem solving effort. In the Fall 2013, the ENTC4600 course’s learning outcomes were modified to infuse global perspectives of engineeringproblems and solutions. In that semester, students explored international markets mainlydeveloping countries, identified an engineering and technology related problem with thecollaboration of a focus group (consists of international students), and then designed anddeveloped a solution to

Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Innovative Embedded Systems ProjectAbstractThe goal of an Embedded Design course is to teach programming, embedded circuits and softwarealgorithms. There are also related goals, such as learning to use development tools, lab equipmentand proper debugging techniques. There are tangential goals such as working in teams andpreparation for senior/capstone projects. And while there are a variety of approaches to teaching,the common theme is that you want the students to be successful and understand the material asthoroughly as possible.Each year, there are new peripherals, new processors and most engineering departments do not takea static approach to education and try to include more

InSenior Project I, students use their time to identify an engineering problem and proceed todevelop an optimum solution. At this stage, they also conduct thorough research on the topic andcomplete planning and design of the project. The subsequent Senior Project II is used to buildand test the functional prototype.

comparison of the InterdisciplinaryExperimental Engineering Project Course to a capstone course is offered in this paper.I. IntroductionMost engineering and technology programs require their undergraduate students to take a seniordesign/capstone course to complete the degree. Most capstone courses are yearlong or a semesterlong, are specific to the student’s major, and are designed to demonstrate, in some way, thestudent’s knowledge of the discipline. To fulfill the requirements of a capstone course, thestudent accomplishes a field-specific project by herself/himself and is required to prepare apaper, a presentation, and/or poster to present the project before a group of peers. In some cases,industrial advisory board members are invited to the

academic international programs, such as study abroad, student exchange or onlinecourses, allow students to experience certain advantages of cross-cultural education. However, amore active participation would provide the students with opportunities to develop anunderstanding of working in international settings and gaining the skills to successfully interactwith diverse cultures5,6. As a bi-national region, we can consider this a privileged geographical area to experience cross- cultural mobility. Therefore, cross-border collaborative learning through capstone engineering projects is developed as a regional, cooperative scheme to provide additional societal settings for technology development in undergraduate applied research for students

performance was translated into individual grades.6. ConclusionsThe senior capstone design experience provided students the opportunity to apply what theyhave learned in their undergraduate courses in previous years into a viable project. It bridges thegap between classroom and industry and allows students to apply their knowledge and skills totackle real world challenges. It gives them the responsibility and freedom to perform at their ownpace and learn to interact and communicate with their team mates. The studio / lab learningenvironment provides them a learning platform that is beyond the boundaries of the classroomand prepares them for the industry.

In addition to integrating project based experiences throughout all fouryears, most engineering programs culminate in a major design experience [4]. In most cases, thisexperience takes the form of a sequence of two 3 credit hour courses at the senior level. Theexperience provides students an opportunity to apply most if not all of their engineeringknowledge to the design and build of a physical system that, in most cases, has real-worldapplication relevance [5].

As such, the students had to follow a detailedproject execution methodology similar to what is being followed in an industrial environment.Key deliverables included: project proposal with budget, time schedule, roles & responsibilities;mid-term project status update with a written report and presentation; final project report,presentation and demonstration. Weekly status meetings and written reports helped manageproject execution and address any deviations from schedule. Student performance was assessednot only by the quality of work delivered but also by the timeliness and cost of such work.This project was benefitted by a previous team which had developed the garden beds, installedthe photovoltaic panels and
