catalogue description for ELMC 461: Students work in teams to design and construct an interdisciplinary project. Teams, with clearly defined individual responsibilities, are required. During the course of the semester, each team undertakes the necessary activities to bring about a successful design project that is well understood, documented, and presented in both oral and written form. Emphasis is placed on research, innovation, project management, decision-making, prototyping, design for manufacturing, design for testability, environmental and ethical issues in design, depth and breadth of analysis, quality of hardware, documentation, and communications. Prerequisites: Junior Status; ELMC160

Force the students “into thestory” and give them the power to read between the lines. [6]Design case studies, ethical issues, and real-world problem statements are usually presented innarrative format, but not all engineering documents should be written as stories. Lab reports andproject reports are properly written in a passive third-person, and “Five measurements weremade of the field strength” is preferable to “We measured the field strength five times.”However, story format may be fitting in any section on personal contributions or reflections.Strategic use of stories in class can capture the interest of

Though this subjectwas designated to be delivered as a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) subject, the educationalapproach taken was such that the PBL delivery was only a part of a pedagogical toolbox. Themain educational thrust was one of inductive learning and teaching derived from courses suchas creative arts. Aside from PBL, the inductive teaching approach incorporated Case-Based(CBL) and Enquiry- Based learning (EBL) which provided the appropriate pedagogicalscaffolding for knowledge integration.

Thisprogram focuses on developing professional competencies such as people and projectmanagement,leadership, and ethics, as well as perseverance, stress management, and the ability toreflect and modify one’s process of learning. Treveylan’s [9] studies on “the work that engineersdo” call for more emphasis on professional skills such as communication and the ability toperform effectively on teams.
