This modification also created some continuity in the student’sworking knowledge on the project. In past years, once the completion was finished the studentsgraduated and went on with their various careers and the experiential knowledge was totally lostfrom the project. By having overlapping capstone projects working on the same goals, theexperience and working knowledge is maintained and successfully passed on to other teammembers.The third change made was to have the students create a Robosub Club to encourage youngerstudents to get involved in the project. The club met weekly followed by a pool test

By identifying and assessing learning outcomes, we areable to better understand what our students are learning and make improvements to the course.This has been critical in enabling comparisons to be made across projects and across years.Additionally, by involving a number of stakeholders

However, not all departments support the idea of a multidisciplinarycapstone because they fear it will negatively impact their ability to meet their department’sspecific curricular needs, and ensure ABET requirements are met. The administration andfacilitation of a multidisciplinary capstone takes significant resource dedication, and asustainable structure would need to be built the appropriate infrastructure to ensure futuresuccess.Implications and RecommendationsMultidisciplinary capstone has much support across campus, as it reflects experiences studentswill

The objective of this initiative called for tripling the number of engineering graduates by 2008. The Integrated Engineering program was created to expand the pool of engineering branches offered in Utah’s schools of higher education, without duplicating any of them. It addresses the needs that are not covered by the traditional engineering programs; 3. many students are interested in a blend of engineering disciplines rather than a specific branch. This is especially true for those wanting to pursue a career in operations and/or management. Because of its multidisciplinary nature, the Integrated

As a result, CTI engineering education programs have infused authenticpractice-based experience in the student’s educational experience. Examples of such experiencesinclude realistic projects and problems mirroring the situations CTI students will encounter intheir professional engineering careers. Characteristics of these experiences include studentsworking on interdisciplinary teams, where interdisciplinary implies a broad spectrum of skills

Globalpreparedness cannot be measured with a traditional examination as it involves difficult tomeasure constructs that fit together as metrics of preparedness. Throughout the past two decades,researchers have attempted to measure related constructs such as citizenry and internationallyfocused readiness. Unfortunately, none of these metrics exactly aligned to career preparednessin the way that this paper begins to describe. Further, in the recent past, no metrics specificallymeasure program components that may assist in global preparedness, nor do they focusdeliberately on engineering education.Research Design and Metric
