To achieve thisgoal the school has adopted a Project Based Learning (PBL) core that has a common core of fiveproject courses, with at least one in each year of the program. The first two courses, ENGR 199and 200, focus on the basics of project work and act to level students’ abilities. ENGR 350 has afocus on entrepreneurial product design. ENGR 400 and 450 are the capstone project courses.The capstone projects are done for industry and typically include product design, test equipment,production equipment, or process

Photovoice with Entrepreneurial Design Projects as a High Impact Practice in Engineering Technology EducationIn the recent years, interdisciplinary research has become a necessary tool for successfullyfinding solutions to real-world problems. Yet, in the undergraduate engineering technologycurriculum interdisciplinary projects is extremely limited (if used at all), particularly in non-capstone project courses. In this study we present findings and lessons learned from aninterdisciplinary research project that integrates entrepreneurial mindset, bio-inspired design, andart into in an engineering technology classroom in the sophomore-year of the post-secondaryengineering technology education.

However, undergraduatecurricula rarely include courses specific to this area, which is considered mostly aninterdisciplinary graduate field. While numerous programs introduce students to the backgroundneeded to understand and approach the field, specific work on autonomous vehicle projects isleft for extracurricular activities or student clubs, and eventually for senior design (capstone)projects. This paper presents the work of a team of electrical engineering technology (EET)students on an autonomous vehicle project using the QCar from Quanser, with mentorship from agraduate student in mechanical engineering.
