For example, for the last three years, two of our departments (ECE and ME) haveengaged in a partnership with Florida State’s department of Earth, Ocean & AtmosphericSciences department, and two of its associated research laboratories, to have teams of ourengineering students develop various new

ensuring achievement of these competencies. In order to facilitate transfer oflearning from the classroom to the workforce, Bransford, Brown, and Cocking8 suggest thatstudents initially be provided with opportunities for working on scaled-down versions ofproblems. These practical ideas can be used in the design of technology capstone projects.The capstone project at Eastern Kentucky University is a synthesis experience, whereinstudents are required to select a topic for independent research and implementation. This one-semester course provides students with an opportunity to design, develop, test, troubleshoot,and manage an integrated research- and laboratory-based project in an area of their interest.Students deploy their projects in homes, work

 Abstract: Undergraduate (UG) research is an important component of today’s engineeringeducation. Research experiences allow students to explore beyond the classroom by applyingconcepts towards scientific discovery and the development of products and technologies thatimpact society. The number of UG engineering students interested in participating in research isincreasing. However, UG research opportunities are often limited to students finding a project,laboratory, and mentor on their own. Therefore, only a handful of students typically benefit froma mentored UG research experience. In addition, students seeking UG research opportunities andprojects have little, if any, knowledge on how to conduct research. A well-structured, guided

Participant InformationThe Leaders in Engineering Program (LEP) at Southeastern University is an interdisciplinaryundergraduate engineering program, which combines concepts and methodologies from SystemsEngineering (SE) as well as Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). One of the mainobjectives of this program is to enable students to work on interdisciplinary engineering projectsrequiring an understanding of electrical and computer design as well as systems analysis. Overthe course of three years in the program, students will be required to complete coursework inboth the SE and ECE departments, including two joint laboratory courses in the third year and ateam-based, interdisciplinary capstone project in the fourth year.In fall of 2009, 15

In the systems course, the correlation was 44%, and in Page 24.763.15the thermodynamics course the correlation was 30%, which is about what one would expectbetween hands on laboratory grades and overall subject matter grades. When each subjectcourse grades a 2D project alone on the subject matter contribution to 2D, then those grades willnot correlate, and do not grade the multidisciplinary nature of the 2D

It is often difficult to overcome preconceived notions thatstudents bring with them, such as the comparative speeds at which objects of different weightsfall under the force of gravity [1]. By engaging students through demonstrations, hands-ondesign and fabrication projects, and physical laboratories, misconceptions can be overcome, thusreinforcing the fundamental principles needed in engineering education [2], [3].Eight years ago, the School of Engineering and Technology restructured its undergraduatecurricula to include the PBL core in each program.
