He has taught a variety of physics and engineering courses in his 30 year career. Wadach is most inspired by the use of design-build projects in his engineering courses. Infusing a Concurrent Engineering Model into Academia is the title of the NSF TUES grant that he and co-PIs George Fazekas and Paul Brennan were awarded $200,000. Wadach has been the co-organizer of

-endedproblem-solving is because of the limited guidance or literature on how to effectively integratewicked, real-world problems into engineering courses at the level of technical core.1.1 Current Approaches: Capstone Design and Co-op/InternshipIt is known that capstone experiences instituted in various formats do provide an effectiveculminating opportunity to engineering students for gaining a real-world experience with theengineering design process. However, since capstone projects come at the very last semester(s)and since each project cannot cover the whole range of technical areas that students are expectedto learn in their degree program, this approach cannot be the only solution for creating learningexperiences that support the growth of

Page 26.1204.5For challenges, we encounter two issues: (1) how to engage students in multidisciplinary teamprojects; and (2) how to ensure student authentication. 3As an engineering program, one of our expected student outcomes is an ability to function onmultidisciplinary teams. However, perhaps partly due to the small size of the program, most ofour capstone design projects are done individually. To enhance students’ team experience, we arecurrently working on two approaches: to have students working on similar capstone design projectsprovide feedback

independentlyin unstructured work sessions to accomplish the project tasks. There is little faculty supervisionand the student must be self-reliant and motivated to make progress in the project while alsoknowing when to ask for help. A third distinction is that the results of an independent study mayresult in novel preliminary findings that can contribute to new knowledge or original work. Acapstone project is typically focused on application and the results obtained may not be original.Students may use an independent study as an opportunity to further their Senior Capstone projectby finishing any additional work needed to conclude the project. These types of experiences arevery similar to the typical Capstone project and are not the focus of this

For example,the number of team-based and multidisciplinary team-based capstone classes across the U.S. hasincreased15 since 1995, likely due to the influence of ABET on U.S. engineering programs.16Similarly, the number of “Cornerstone” freshmen engineering design project classes hasincreased, although by no means are they universal in U.S. engineering curricula4.

Native American Engineering StudentsABSTRACTEngineering students have limited opportunities for experiential learning, especially at TribalColleges and Universities, where engineering programs tend to be small, and resources areextremely limited. Typically, the first and senior years of a student's engineering educationjourney are infused with hands-on projects and capstone courses. However, the sophomore andjunior years generally need more opportunities for active learning, gaining professional skills,and developing a sense of professional practice. Also, scholars have increasingly realized thatarts subjects help students understand connections between different disciplines from acomprehensive perspective.This study highlights findings from

DesignIt has often been the bane of many employers that traditionally trained engineers lackunderstanding in the skills necessary to succeed in business. Often the engineer understands thetechnology, but not how that technology can benefit the business. It is skills like teamwork,communication, project management and financial implications of design, etc. that are missingfrom the traditional engineering education (Felder, Vest, etc). Authors like Sheppard et. al. saysthe classroom should be modified to allow ways these skills can be taught.Around 2010, a movement was started at Stevens to infuse Senior Capstone Design experiencewith necessary skills outside of the major discipline. However, the discipline specific SeniorCapstone Design Advisors
