The premise was that the team supervisor (me) had requested somework and the team was updating me on what they had found. Each assignment had fewerproblems than a typical homework assignment but focused on exploring a topic in more depth. Icalled the assignments mini-projects. The presentations were informal in that the students couldscan their handwritten notes and share them during our virtual meeting instead of creating aPowerpoint presentation. The person presenting was required to be on camera (and I was, too).One weekly meeting time for the 4-credit hour course was dedicated to these presentations, butanother hour

In addition, the implementation of theseamplifiers in a small package size (within a metal enclosure) provides an excellent avenue forexposing students to printed circuit board (PCB) layout and prototyping. One benefit of thesecircuits is that they can be used with an input device (guitar) and an output device (audio amplifier)and students can physically observe (and hear) the results of their design. One particular benefit ofthis approach is a greater understanding of frequency response characteristics, as students are ableto hear the results.In this work, several lab projects were

Then these instructors teamed up with full-time faculty to co-teach courses. This approach combines the high quality of engineering theory with valuable professional skills to provide students with an excellent learning opportunity. • Professional development in the industry – faculty members were encouraged to obtain summer internships in the local construction firms to develop professional skills such as surveying, project control, field management, etc.The implementation of these approaches makes sure that

While there are ethical issuesrelated to any engineering project, this paper concentrates on ethical issuesinherent in the service learning approach. Two of these issues are describedbelow.One issue is the quality and safety of the design. Objects are being designed bypeople who are not yet professional engineers. The professors who supervisethe work need to be very careful in checking the design to ensure its safety.There is also a legal issue. Many states require that anything designed for publicuse must be supervised by a registered professional engineer. Many facultymembers are not registered and cannot legally supervise such work.A second issue is how the design relates

Student outcomes are often assessed in the senior designcourse(s). Integration of student outcome assessment in design course(s) has met with varyingdegrees of success.Senior design has presented an opportunity to increase interaction with external constituents thathave an interest in projects and in hiring graduates.

In course evaluations, students consistently rate these projects as the most challengingand difficult to grasp, citing the inefficacy of the traditional (lecture-only) course in mergingprogramming with biomechanics content. Moving material online is an intuitive solution to thiscomputation-based instructional challenge.

University of Texas at Austin AbstractThe ABET accreditation criterion 5 requires a "culminating major engineering design experience"in the curriculum1. This is commonly referred to as the senior capstone design course. Thefreshman engineering education experience is loaded with required science and mathematicscourses, and there is little room for an engineering experience. Nonetheless, most faculty want tohave some engineering course during the freshman year, and many ideas have been tried over theyears. Of these many ideas, the concept of a team design project with hands-on activities seems tobe the most popular and most beneficial. This paper reports on such a proposed freshmanengineering cornerstone

Purpose, overview, and general context ofrequirements were ample in normal projects and poor in overrun projects. Knauss, (2009)investigated the impact of requirement quality on project success as well [38]. Using metrics onrequirement quality such as # Critical Types, Grammar, Rules of Expression, Ambiguous Terms,Existing Identifier, and Unexpected Tech Terms, the research question was investigated. Using apoint system to rank requirement quality, it was found that projects that scored more than 44points were successful, while requirements scoring below 40 points were not satisfactory.
