advancement of technology. The EMS field of interest ismanagement sciences, applicable to individuals and organizations engaged in or overseeing themanagement of engineering and technology. Another prominent professional organization in thefield is the American Society of Engineering Management (ASEM), which was founded in 1979by a group of 20 engineering managers from industry. The ASEM currently certifies engineeringmanagers as: the Associate Engineering Manager (AEM) or Professional Engineering Manager(PEM) through certification examinations.Systems Engineering (SE) traces roots to the laboratories of Bell Telephone in the 1940s, whenaccording to Buede (2000)4, the Department of Defense and the RAND Corporation usedsystems engineering approaches
the underlying concepts and performances. The focus isprimarily on first and second order systems, and especially ones dealing with motion controlsince the class typically includes both electrical and mechanical engineering students. After extensive coverage in several lectures of the underlying mathematical theory of theposition and speed of a motion control system, the response of the system to a step input isdemonstrated in the laboratory using a configurable MS150 Modular Servo System fromFeedback, Inc. Important aspects of this hardware demonstration include the effects of gain,inertia, and damping on the response of the system. Students often express appreciation andstate that this complementary demonstration helps to make the theory

this course. With regard to this table, it is importantto note that the WPI academic schedule is based on students taking four terms in an academicyear, with a fifth (optional) summer term. Each term is seven weeks long and three full timecourses/term constitute a full (undergraduate) load. The SE ES capstone course is offered in thefirst term of the year and it is expected that students will take this course concurrent with startingtheir capstone project (MQP but could also be the IQP). A one-term course typically meets fourtimes/week and courses that have laboratory sessions (not this course) also layer in a weekly labsection. A simple calculation shows that as a result of this course/term structure, a typical classwill meet 28 times/term
theclassroom, whether in a lecture, laboratory, or discussion-based course, it is extremely difficultfor the faculty member to instantly gauge the current state of each student and which actions totake accordingly. Faculty time outside the classroom is limited, with many factors vying forattention, from course preparation to grant-writing.The process has delays embedded throughout its various steps: whether considering the casewhen an instructor delivers an assignment or instruction and a student takes several days beforeacting on it, or the time lapse between when an assessment instrument is initially put to use andwhen the instructor either receives that information, finishes decoding it, or makes use of it, thesedelays may prove crucial in

regarding the necessity of ViTAS application is discussed in previoussections.Iteration -1: initial planning of ViTASIn the initial planning of the ViTAS application development, few important aspects isconsidered such as set up the development environment (research laboratory), hire theappropriate personnel (graduate assistants), buy the necessary equipments (computers, servers,printers, etc.), use of software packages (MS Visual Studio 2010, SQL server 2008 R2, MSTeam Foundation Server, etc.), and network connections to the servers. The workstations andserver connection network is designed and setup to initialize the development process shown inFigure 3. After the work stations are setup, all the necessary tools are installed in the workstations

Let’s examine each of these further.The Plug & Chug ParadigmThe Plug & Chug Paradigm represents an instructional teaching model for engineering students.Solutions to the classical boundary condition engineering problems require students to considerinputs, initial states and dynamic boundary conditions, constraints, and assumptions to arrive atsolution / results.The Educational Design-Build-Test-Fix ParadigmThe educational Design-Build-Test-Fix Paradigm has origins in scientific inquiry methods and isoften acquired informally and experientially through laboratory exercises. The paradigm evolvesfrom students having a requirement to design a widget, verify, and validate the design solution. Ifthe test fails, they enter an

Assignments can be made collaborative so that students are working together andlearning from one another. For example, time could be set aside in Engineering Economicsclasses every week for collaborative problem-solving exercises.IACBE4 (2011) accreditation requirements include teamwork and engineering economicscourses can help students progress toward meeting outcomes in this area. ABET’s Criterion 3also encourages teamwork (3Ad, 3Bc) in engineering technology programs (ABET5, 2011

build upentrepreneurial skills within one course or a couple of courses in an already crowded engineeringprogram. The College of Engineering (CoE) decided to embed entrepreneurial skills inengineering learning activities for a number of courses throughout the program curriculum,requiring an efficient and integrated process. By incorporating EML in different coursesequences and capstone courses such as circuits, electronic design, and communicationsequences, students will have the opportunity to develop and build up their entrepreneurialmindset.The three Cs: Curiosity, Connections, and Creating Value [26]” found in the KEEN frameworkare added as course outcomes. CoE included EML activities into the existing problem-basedlearning (PBL) laboratory
