bill of materials (BOM) with the specific physical supply requirements are detailed inTable 1. All items listed are either present in the final project or, in the case of support material,necessary for production of the final product. Costs are estimated along the right side of thisBOM, and shipping is not included in this estimate. All tools and machines used are property ofthe Engineering Technology Department and are thus not counted in cost estimation.8. Student AssessmentThe senior design project presented in this paper is one of the 12 capstone projects completed inthe 2022-2023 academic year. The project included multidisciplinary students from Electronicsand Computer Engineering Technology and Mechanical Engineering Technology in

work involving the structural analysis of the existing Clear CreekPedestrian Bridge, as well as the design, construction, and laboratory testing of a bamboo bridgemodel as part of the Project Capstone course. The existing bridge conveniently located near thecampus with easy access, comprises two pony trusses supporting the floor beams and concretedeck, forming a U-shaped cross-section, with dimensions of 130’-0” in length and 8’-0” in clearwidth. RFEM6® software is used for structural analysis and stability assessment, ensuringcompliance with applicable codes.The bamboo bridge model is designed and constructed using glued bamboo sticks for laboratorytesting under ultimate loads to observe buckling behavior. The model, resembling the ClearCreek

processes and integral, discrete, and shrink/expansion fastener systems. 45% 70%ConclusionsThis project-based instructional approach corresponds to XXXXX University’soverarching goals for its undergraduate programs for engineering technology students.The knowledge and experience gained through student completion of various teamprojects during their freshmen through junior academic years is expected to form a strongfoundation for the senior capstone project (an implicit goal of most courses within theengineering curricula). At the capstone level, students undertake an often unstructured,broadly-defined, real-world problem. Many of these capstone projects entail solvingmanufacturing process issues for production

Engineering Technology(ENGT) program. According to the program description, engineering technology educationemphasizes primarily on the applied aspects of science and product improvement, industrialpractices, and engineering operational functions. A capstone two-semester senior project course isa part of the engineering technology curriculum. This course provides the students with anopportunity to address and experience the critical problems faced in the day-to-day life of anengineer in an advanced manufacturing industry. One such problem is to measure friction and wearrate between materials to improve the performance of mechanical machinery used in industrialapplications.The aim of this senior design project is to design and fabricate a working

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

courses for the new programsand support capstone design projects. Moreover, it will serve as a platform for the development ofstate-of-the-art projects for engineering students. • The proposed laboratory will achieve the following goals and objectives: • Familiarize students with the design, testing, and implementation of emerging technologies desired by local industries. • Evaluate the effect and efficiency of design laboratory experiments. • Introduce the use of test setups emerging in industrial communities, not yet utilized in the undergraduate university environment. • Create a focal point for interdisciplinary learning and present a balance between theoretical and hands-on experience in undergraduate instruction

Critical EngagementIn this study, students were invited to participate in a survey to share their experiences using AItools during one semester in four courses. 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”. The survey featured nine questions, seven using a Likertscale to measure students' opinions about AI tools in their education. The Likert scale

In another, a clinicalimmersion program for biomedical engineering students, where participants evaluated clinicalneeds to address in a capstone project, was effectively pivoted to a remote format [21]. Largelyout of necessity, these studies have focused more on the adaptation process than the systematicmeasurement of reciprocal outcomes or virtual internship designs While the immediate needs forvirtual internship opportunities, caused by COVID-19, may be dwindling, these modalities willlikely have a role in addressing access and equity in both the workforce and higher education inthe near future [13], [18].Equity and AccessThere is
