Since the previous paper was published, there havebeen major developments in the curriculum, especially with the development of the final-yearcourses. The capstone project is still two-semester long and involves project management andtechnical aspects of manufacturing and industrial automation. Figure 1: Course Framework for the BSET ProgramIV. Program Delivery MethodsThe Engineering Technology program is developed to be administered by the regional campusesbecause of their strong history of supporting the needs of their surrounding communities andcollaboration with co-located community/technical colleges and area manufacturers.

faculty plan to maintain this focus with the support of Green Dot Bioplastics and otherindustrial partners. We have been communicating with PSU alumni at iMFLUX in order tomodify a test bar mold for the Arburg injection molder. The modification will allow pressuresensors for iMFLUX Automatic Viscosity Adjustment (AVA) technology to be introduced intothe mold. AVA technology can then adjust parameters to maintain consistent production withvaried materials including PCR and bioplastics. Our capstone course gives students the ability towork in teams with one focused project over the course of two semesters, allowing them to learnabout the details of their project at a much greater depth than shorter-term laboratory orclassroom learning

the cornerstone of providing internships and capstone projects thatenhance outside classroom experiences for students. For example, one professional facultyshared an example of such a partnership: “We are partnering with small communities to do ITService assessments as part of our capstone. We also have industry partners that provideinternships.” In addition, industry partners also engaged with students and faculty throughplanned guest lectures to supplement core content and curriculum. Faculty also expressedconcern as key faculty who had led industry-wide engagement were retiring, which was likely toput industry engagement at risk.On the other hand, tenure-stream faculty who were yet to achieve tenure shared somewhatdifferent perceptions of

At the end of the Spring 2025 semester, the plan is to incorporate the assessment resultsand demonstrate “closing of the loop” by addressing any concerns from the past cycles andincluding them into the Self-Study report.The Industrial Advisory Council (IAC) is also playing a crucial role in curriculum revisions toincorporate industrial standards into the program. Capstone projects are being sponsored by theindustry that needs graduates from this program. The assessment team is part of IAC to help bridgethe gap between industry professionals and faculty.

Initially, students from the HamptonUniversity Department of Architecture started a project in 2014 to engage with the Norfolkcommunity of Chesterfield Heights to research ways to alleviate existing flooding problems relatedto sea level rise and coastal storms. Old Dominion engineering students engaged with the effort,first as volunteers and then as capstone design students.The project kicked off with a substantial amount of community involvement, which was managedby the civic league. As a result, students were able to identify problems related to flooding, coastalerosion, and accumulation of

, HMI, industrial network devices, etc.) has been aprimary concern for faculty working on this project. There were initial challenges in retrofittingthe CRBs with some existing systems. This was often due to the age of existing systems andtechnological advances since their installation. The faculty of this project sought to keep existingperipherals and components in place as often as possible for various reasons. A primary concernwas that industrial peripheral components are often costly, and replacing these componentsmight not make sense if they are otherwise fully functional. When possible, newer versions ofthe technology were added to replace previous systems. For example, machine vision cameraswere upgraded to work better with the embedded

Thirty-five (35) Computer and Electrical Engineering(CEE) students at the University of Wisconsin-Stout responded to the survey describing their useof AI tools such as ChatGPT in their studies. The group included 15 sophomores and 20 seniorsenrolled in 4 different CEE courses titled “CEE-215 Electronics”, “CEE-405 Capstone I:Computer Engineering Design”, “CEE-410 Capstone II: Computer Engineering Design”, and“CEE-355 Applied Electromagnetics”.
