, 2017 Teams and Team Building at Baylor University: Why Should We Do This and Where Should This Occur in the Curriculum?AbstractExperience with teams is a desirable outcome with employers. Academic programs often havestudent teams accomplish course, design, and lab projects starting with the freshmen introductorycourses and culminating with capstone senior design. Where do students learn about teams in thecurriculum? How do they learn to be good team members? It seems the most pervasive approachto teams in higher education is a “sink or swim” attitude where teams are allowed to form on theirown and work out any issues that arise. Little, if any, formal instruction on being a team memberis given throughout the curriculum. Even less

In addition, the objectives are also planned to be assessed throughstudents’ capstone senior projects. But at the time of creation of this work-in-progress paper, thestudents who took this course have not worked on their senior project yet, as a result, this part ofthe assessment is planned to be conducted once the students worked on their senior projects.

However, most of the students’ academic development is centered onderiving tedious equations and solving textbook problems, which are difficult to visualize andphysically understand, and cloud their intuitive nature to comprehend a problem on its entirety.These conventional approaches and methods of disseminating content in the classroom have atendency to exclude diverse learning styles of students. Thus, teaching schemes solely focused oncovering themes verbatim from a textbook or paraphrasing from a slide presentation are hinderingthe students’ ability to understand and apply all the engineering principles in design projects. Suchtechnical concern is observed during their senior year capstone

of the survey questions directly asked the students about the course content. As expected,for the 1st and 4th year courses (Intro to Engineering and Capstone respectively), the vastmajority of students stated the design process was taught and they applied the design process inthat course. More surprisingly, a majority of students from Statics and Linear Systems alsostated that the design process was formally taught in the course despite both courses focusingsolely on modeling and analysis. Additionally, the Statics and Linear Systems students alsostarted that they had applied the design process on at least one assignment or project. In Statics,no formal design problem or assignment was given, and in Linear Systems a group designproject was

homeworkproblems and tests have explicit answers, given the problem statement. Unfortunately most, if notall, engineering problems do not follow this cookbook approach. Students must be allowed toexperience problems that require them to formulate solutions to problems with no specific straight-line structure to the solution – they must learn how to “think outside the box” [7].Laboratory (and the senior capstone project) is the one place where students have the opportunityto “think on their own” and assemble separate pockets of knowledge to solve a complete problem.The biggest advantage is that real-world exercises and experimental approaches clearly show thatthere is not always an “answer at the back of the book”.

ABET StudentOutcome (c) specifically refers to, “an ability to design a system, component or process to meetdesired needs…”.Another recent trend in engineering education has been towards an emphasis on experiential,hands-on learning. It is recognized that the practice of engineering requires a mix of skills, manyof which are best learned through experience. In engineering education, this experientiallearning most often takes place in capstone projects and industry internships. It is much lesscommon for core engineering courses like Design of Machine Elements to incorporate a project-based, experiential component. There are machine design courses that contain hands-onlaboratory modules, however these modules tend to

A physical model of a design concept, based on simplifying assumptions (whichchange as the project progresses and one learns better what effects matter more than others), iscreated. This is an approximation of the real system and a hierarchy of models is possibledepending on the reason for modeling (see Figure 2). Laws of nature (e.g., Newton’s Laws,Maxwell’s Equations) are applied to the model, along with component model equations, togenerate the equations of motion for the multidisciplinary engineering system. These equations– nonlinear and coupled – are solved with Simulink, SimMechanics, SimHydraulics, LabVIEW,etc. to predict how the model will behave when various inputs – desired and

Method of Assessment to Examine Experimental Design in Mechanical Engineering LaboratoriesStudents in the mechanical specialization at Mercer University are currently required to take twogeneral mechanical engineering laboratory courses—one in the third year of the curriculum andthe other in the fourth year. The first of these courses begins with seven or eight single periodlaboratories in which the students are directed to complete a well-defined set of procedures andperform simple analyses. In an effort to more formally introduce experimental design into thelaboratory experience, this course ends with a three project sequence in which students areprovided with an experimental objective (e.g., determine the coefficient of

The SAE competition projects are well-known by students with prior-years’ vehicles available, strict timelines, and a year-to-yearprocess of continual improvement. This makes them attractive to students with aspirations in thetransportation industry, but can limit student learning as each student may participate in thedesign of only a small portion of the vehicle.ISPs are more varied, representing real, time-sensitive problems posed by industry partners whocommit to funding the project.
