designprojects for all students. Assessing a team’s project results is usually a relatively easy task.However, fairly assessing the performance of individual students within the team is much moredifficult. The complexity of the assessment task is compounded by the wide range of subjects,difficulty, and engineering tasks involved in differing projects. Assessing engineeringperformance across a variety of projects is also a common problem for most industrialemployers. Many companies that employ engineers use a management-by-objective (MBO)assessment system for their professional employees. Grove City College capstone designstudents are now being assessed with a MBO system similar to industrial employers. Adescription of the Grove City College rating

A Solar Distiller as a Thermal Systems Design-Build-Test ProjectAbstractIn an effort to improve Mechanical Engineering (ME) students’ ability to design and realizethermal systems, a hands-on design project has been developed for a junior level thermal systemsdesign course. Previous presentations1 have reported on the development of three projects withan emphasis on the design of a solar water-heating device. This paper describes, in more detail,experience in implementing a project to design, construct and test devices using solar energy todistill rather than just to heat water.In this project, teams are given a limited set of materials and specifications that constrain theirdesign options while giving them plenty of

. This new course has addressed the need for engineering design linkedto manufacturing. To make the course substantially fulfill its role of a bridge between the designcurriculum and manufacturing curriculum, the course outcomes have been tied to the students’senior design projects. Student surveys and course assessments indicate that the course plan anddesign provides a promising solution to the need for integration between design curriculum andmanufacturing curriculum.IntroductionDesign curriculum and manufacturing curriculum are two key subject areas in many engineeringprograms. Specific requirements in curricula may vary, but they encounter similar issues andchallenges as far as design concept through final manufacturing production is

is progressively introduced to explain experimental results or to addressnecessary design issues as they arise. The course is further structured around a semester teamdesign project in which students gradually develop their own airplane design (a glider model)based on the aerodynamic principles, and practical design topics, that are introduced throughoutthe semester. Subsequently, each design team constructs a working model of their glider design,and these models are flight tested at the end of the semester. Course topics introduced during thesemester include basic wind tunnel testing and instrumentation, airplane stability and tail design,wing and fuselage design, basic propeller theory, and introductory numerical vortex paneltheory, along

].Impromptu design exercises provide a unique opportunity to teach design concepts. Specifically,because student groups are “thrown” into the project they learn by doing. This type of activepedagogy has been shown to improve student understanding. Furthermore, by referring to theproject in later discussions, it provides a “jumping-off” point for lecture/discussion on moreadvanced engineering concepts – which is how the projects are used in this paper.In this paper, the developed exercises are presented with some discussion regarding theirimplementation. Some of the main findings in this paper are: • Students really enjoy these exercises – this student engagement should be expected due to the hands-on, competitive nature of the exercises

from reaching out for quickequations to plug and chug in” (p. 22). Similarly, Johnson (1999) reported that students in aPBL version of a hydraulic engineering course sought “homework problems to improvetheir understanding of fundamental calculations and help them prepare for exams” (p. 10),despite also expressing concerns that the workload of the PBL course was alreadyburdensome. The students in Johnson’s study also complained that the projects were “toovague and needed additional clarification” (p. 11), suggesting a discomfort with ill-structured problems.Although PBL normally prescribes learning content in the context of new problems, manyproblems also require the application of prior knowledge.

reinventing the world every day. So conventions arethe source of great comfort, even if this is at the expense of thought.” [1] This has neverbeen more evident than when observing university students. They are so used to routineand feeling that if they complete a checklist and receive a good grade that they havelearned. Perhaps they have learned the material but they haven’t learned how to think.From observation, students treat classes as something on a to-do list with the rewardbeing a degree when they have checked off all items on the list. Within the scope of aclass, students find great comfort in their to-do list of 10-12 weekly homeworks, 3 tests,maybe a project and then a final exam. All items are treated as part of a to-do list.

The criteria set forth by the challenge provided a structured venue forthe students to teach each other about engineering and sustainability concepts that they wereindividually researching. The advisor acted as a mediator for these discussions, with the purposeof assisting the students in the weeding out of good and bad ideas, but the students were theresearchers, designers, presenters, and critics.

better.At the University of Notre Dame, a robotic football competition was initiated in the spring of2008 as the main design project for the capstone course for all senior mechanical engineeringstudents. An advantage of a robotic football game is that the robustness of the students designsand manufacturing skills are tested in a way that they are not in FIRST or related competitions –the designs must consider being able to withstand significant impacts. Furthermore, it takesadvantage of the high (and growing) popularity of American football on college campuses.After repeating the competition in 2009, the coordinating faculty desired to reach out and includeanother university in the next competition. To do this, it was decided to invite a team of

hands-on experiences in engineering education has been recognized fordecades. Yet creating and running an effective hands-on experience, especially in the thermalsciences is challenging. This paper will outline a project that asks students to design, build, andtest a heat exchanger. In addition to being hands-on, the project incorporates two high-impacteducational practices. First, the project is collaborative as groups of 4-5 students work ondesigning their heat exchangers. Second, the project serves a sort of “capstone project” for thethermal science classes by integrating topics from thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heattransfer. While attempts to incorporate designing, building, and testing of heat exchangers as partof a mechanical

In senior design courses, assigning real-world design projects is imperative to prepare the students for the job they may be performingthe following year. In the basic engineering science courses, however, finding design projectsthat engage the students, that demonstrate the real-world applications of the basic engineeringscience, and that do not seem like “busy-work” to the students requires imagination.
