productpresentations and discussions, participation, question asking, and question answering.A. Course ContextIn the MIT mechanical engineering capstone course, students work in product design teams topropose ideas for new products, select a few for development and testing, and ultimately chooseone, as a team, to build and test as an alpha prototype. At the end of the semester each teampresents their prototype at a large event, akin to a product launch. While the team project existsin many engineering capstone courses, one way that MIT’s course is unique is that individualstudent teams are atypically large, comprising 18-25 students. Enrollment in the course is 160-190 students every fall semester.The student teams are near autonomous and self directed

All the HPVC studentsexpressed frustration that they were “not allowed to do anything” until they were in charge. Thenon-capstone students, and especially new members, have no input on the design or building oftheir vehicle. Often the capstone students do not even include these other team members incommunications to arrange meetings or work times. Thus, students have very little opportunityto learn anything about the vehicle design, component manufacturing, or administrative tasksbefore they are responsible for the entire project. Because of the tight affiliation with thecapstone graduation requirement, this team maintains formidable

inthe engineering curriculum, the projects were completed in single classes.In this study, a PBL approach is implemented by developing projects in a series of requiredcourses in a Mechanical Engineering curriculum. The projects assigned in each course are relatedand planned to build up the knowledge and skills needed to develop a successful senior designproject or capstone project. In implementing the approach, the instructor identifies the topic orproblem to be proposed as a senior design project. In the first of the sequential courses, anexperimental measurements laboratory course, a project is assigned regarding a sensor that couldbe used in the senior design project. In the second of the sequential courses, a thermal-fluidslaboratory course

Before this tool could beconsidered, a flow bench to simulate the air moving device (AMD), measurement and control ofa commercial kitchen ventilation system needed to be designed, built and tested (DBT). The MEProgram at Western Kentucky University has a significant history of incorporating thismethodology into its sophomore, junior and senior capstone design course sequences.3,4Therefore, this project methodology, although extracurricular, was very familiar to student,faculty and industry participants.Work on the Halton research project began in January 2014.

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

Therefore, the integration of impromptu designexercises into all aspects of the curriculum is motivated by the above research findings.In addition, the authors have found that these projects have a number of other advantagesincluding: • Using these hands-on activities give students concrete examples of the issues being discussed in class – e.g. students go through an impromptu design exercise (where they design and

Projects in the class can require the students toexercise the knowledge they have gained in all these subjects. According to the most recent ABET report, the concepts covered in the prerequisite courseare: 1. Free vibration, harmonic motion, viscous damping, modeling and energy methods, stiffness, measurement, and stability. 2. Harmonic excitation of undamped and damped systems, alternative representations, base excitation, rotating unbalance, and measurement. 3. Impulse response function, response to an arbitrary input, response to an arbitrary periodic input, transfer methods, shock spectrum, and

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

Unfortunately, thisoften delays this important introduction to mechatronics and system design to late in theengineering curriculum, likely coinciding with other courses which would benefit from studentshaving had prior experience of such skills (such as capstone design projects). As a result, there isa growing interest in providing systems-level, mechatronics-like training early on in

InSpring semester, time was critical since most students put high priority on their capstone design research.The project was typically assigned 4~5 weeks before the final exam.

This is too late for them to realize theimportance of earlier course material.A Dynamic Systems laboratory-based, hands-on project has been implemented which attempts toaddress many of the issues identified above.

The first numerical mini project/case study that forms aprelude to this project cannot be assigned very early in the semester; steady state multi-dimensional conduction has to be covered before that. It is also desired that course projects otherthan the senior capstone project be completed before the final week of classes. This leaves arelatively short period of approximately five weeks for this project. Meanwhile some of thematerial that might be needed for successful completion of the mathematical modeling andnumerical simulation will still be going
