It chronicles the project’s design aswell as feedback from the instructor and students.The student project assignment is affectionately called “The Cookie Project” which is inspiredby a real-life example from a previous capstone project. A local gourmet ice cream company hasbuilt a cookie production plant next to their ice cream plant. This cookie plant makes homemadestyle cookies that are transported next door to be made into signature ice cream sandwiches.These tasty treats are sold at the retail ice cream shops, mostly as take home goodies.Students taking the course

This isthe most crucial element of the degree program within our discipline, as it gives students anopportunity to work on an extensive piece of work within the areas of Electronic Engineering andComputer Science. The project also allows students to demonstrate their problem-solving abilitiesby being able to apply a range of skills that they have acquired throughout their degree program.Overview of Teaching and Learning Changes Implemented • Preparation (Outside of Class) - Interactive Videos: As the co-ordinator for undergraduate projects

Intern, co-op and capstone experiences and preparation for professional certificationare popular benchmarks for relevance in these programs.2, 3 At Kettering University, all studentsparticipate in a mandatory co-op program from their first year, alternating every quarter betweenacademic terms and co-op work at an industrial or research-oriented sponsor. These culminate ina sponsor-driven thesis project, required for graduation.This fully co-operative model of education demands connection to practical applications inacademic courses. Students expect course topics explicitly tied to industrial needs orprofessional skills. Additionally, students bring a rich variety of experiences from their workterms, and will readily share what they’ve

As a tenure-track faculty member of the UDM Mechanical Engineering Department, he has adopted a program of instruction that UDM has branded ”Faces on Design,” in which student project work is made more meaningful as students have the opportunity to see and experience the faces of real live clients. In the series of design courses he teaches, students design mechanical devices for use by disabled clients.

The paper highlights the learning modules to bedeveloped in the virtual learning environment.

In discussion with some of the students who have taken IT 214, concerns wereexpressed regarding their opinion that they will not reuse the software used in lab again until theend of their undergraduate studies. They became aware of this by speaking to students doingtheir capstone projects and also councilors who are familiar with the course material.

In the course “Productive Systems Design” (PSD) the students hadthe opportunity to develop their final project according to the needs of the Operations andLogistics lab, which serves around 6 courses of the IE department. Students wereintroduced to a challenge: to design a product with its manufacturing process
normally presented in the class and a written report is submitted.Students are required to summarize the procedure used to produce the product and represent theoutput. There are usually two projects given in the class. The first project is defined by theinstructor, which helps maintain a focus on course and curriculum objectives. In the secondproject, students are allowed to pick their own topic, which gives them the autonomy to choosetheir own project formulations and strategies, which in turn increases their motivation.Project based learning at the individual course level is familiar in engineering education. It isused almost universally in capstone design and laboratory courses. There has been growingfrequency of project based learning approach
understanding, it is possible todetermine if an additional longitudinal study could be used to determine if this teaching approachbrings skills to students to help them perform in their capstone projects more effectively.Specifically, the goal is to determine if this teaching method increases student conceptualunderstanding of the material and interdependencies between different aspects of the courseThe ideation for this research falls at the intersection of traditional education concepts, specificresearch on the education of business end of systems management, and future goals forengineering education.Beginning with traditional education processes, in 1973, curriculum theoretician, JosephSchwab, wrote The Practical: A Language for Curriculum, where he

Practicumexperiences also allow students to design and develop a project in which they applyknowledge and develop skills such as a doctoral student preparing the components of anonline course. Service Learning Experiences are distinguished by being mutually beneficial for bothstudent and community. Service learning is growing rapidly and is considered a part ofexperiential education by its very nature of learning, performing a job within the community,and serious reflection by the student. Service learning involves solving some of society'sissues; such as, homelessness, poverty, lack of quality education, pollution, etc. One of thegoals of service learning is to help students become aware of these issues

The results also havemajor implications for lifelong learning for engineers and are compatible with the teachings ofothers such as Taylor, Deming, Senge, and a study by Ernst & Young.The objectives of this paper are to:1. Share executive survey results and findings2. Demonstrate that the spectrum of leadership can be modeled by Hayes’ ―Six Stages of Quality System Implementation‖ and parallel versions of it3. Demonstrate how the Six Stages of Quality System Implementation were used to redesign courses in the industrial and manufacturing engineering curriculum to strategically integrate lean, six sigma, statistical quality control, and quality tools.4. Show that there is
. Courses are often integrated into these two major fields to allow for some exposure to themanufacturing industry. A paper in the Journal of Engineering Education notes that amovement to move to higher course content on manufacturing in both of these disciplines isneeded8. Many current engineering programs do not emphasize the marriage of design andmanufacturing in a modern industrial technical workforce.Many research studies have assessed the quality of exposure to manufacturing through the senior“Capstone” design project course. McMasters and Lang believe that too few in industry have anunderstanding of how the current engineering education is set-up. Therefore, if industry partnersare brought into the education process through design projects
period studentswere asked to decide between traditional (2 special purpose and capstone classes), hybrid (28technical classes and labs), and online classes (30 technical classes and labs) each denoted by adifferent section number. Many of these classes among the three modalities were being taughtby the same instructor, so it soon became apparent after a constant feeling of redundancy someof these classes can be converged. In 2011 we began combining the hybrid and online classes atthe same time and thus the converged classroom was born.

If a student tooka course more than once, then only the most recent grade was used.For students who had not graduated by the time of publication, an estimated graduation time wascomputed. This estimate was based on their individual course curriculum plan. For example, ifa student had satisfactorily completed the first senior design capstone course in fall 2015, then itwas assumed that the student would graduate in spring 2016 (upon completion of their secondand final semester in senior design).Included with the transcript data was information collected by the instructor during the course.The course structure and topics did not change during the study period (2013-2015).
