Co-op is mandatory in our undergraduate program andwe provide well trained co-op students to the industry. All of our capstone projects are sponsoredby the local industry. It is therefore imperative that we strive to keep our curricula up to date, sothat they reflect local industry’s needs and our students remain competent in the fast changingenvironment of technology and businesses. Our engineering program emphasizes teaching andapplied research. Therefore, our faculty is continuously engaged in pedagogical research and itsimplementation and it is active in disseminating the

c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 Assessment of a New Design Stem Course SequenceAbstractIn Fall 2009, the Mechanical Engineering Department at California State University, Northridgeimplemented significant changes to the curriculum by creating a new course sequence focusedon design. The course sequence is distributed throughout the four years of the program, andculminates in the traditional capstone senior design course. One of the features of the newsequence was the requirement of a team project in each course, including oral design reviewsdocumenting the projects’ progress. Enabling our students to continuously develop anddemonstrate skills related to design and communication was the main incentive behind

Third,due to the limited technical background of undergraduate students, a significant amount ofsupport and supervision is required of the faculty member. Fourth, there is little opportunity forresearch during the senior year unless it falls within the parameters of the capstone design courseor other required courses, since the capstone project demands a great deal of the students’ time.Finally, faculty members in a teaching university have extremely heavy loading in teaching andacademic advising, and can only commit a limited amount of time supervising undergraduateresearch.Since undergraduate students have a learning curve of engineering knowledge from freshman

Materials selection concepts and methods were interspersed throughoutthe course and integrated into three student-group design projects involving springs, bearings,rotating shafts, and gear elements. This approach resulted in a practical and effective method ofintroducing materials selection into the design process and provided needed skills for the follow-on, senior-level capstone design course. At the end of the class, an easy-to-follow, student-written material selection reference guide (with examples) was produced to provide guidance forfuture classes and students needing a quick overview of the materials selection process and useof the

But, by itself, it ignores the interconnectivity of theseconcepts and how they are interwoven in the fabric of real engineering problems—i.e., system-level engineering. This big-picture view is often covered in capstone design courses, butcapstone design projects themselves cover a broad spectrum of applications, and don’t guaranteethat all students leave with the same exposure to system-level integration and interactions.In addition, the development of engineering science core concepts relies upon pre-requisite pathsthat allow advanced topics to be built upon more basic concepts

This approach “conditionalizes” knowledge and providesstudents with an intermediate design experience before undertaking a major machine designexperience in their capstone course. Furthermore, based on the “backwards design” planningframework for designing courses, the paper suggests that the project should be approachedgradually – in phases – from the first day of class, and extending throughout the semester, toprovide quality feedback to students throughout the entire process, thus increasing the potentialof achieving expertise. The phases were also synchronized with the material presented in class,and with the exams, to further strengthen the knowledge acquired by the students

Here, we addseveral additional mistakes commonly observed in the classroom and in capstone designnumerical analyses and present the augmented list in Table 1.

Aspart of a Capstone Design Project, and with the goal of illustrating complete engineering designprocesses where factors besides the technical ones need to be taken into account, industry-sponsored projects are undertaken by teams of students. The project presented here deals with anautomotive subassembly that needed to be redesigned and evaluated. The system is a powerslider assembly which is installed in the rear of current-model trucks and powers the rearwindow. The current design is bulky, expensive, and takes too much time to install.
