Session 3563 INSTITUTIONAL ADAPTATION OF THE GREENFIELD COALITION’S CAPSTONE DESIGN COURSE Ece Yaprak, Attila Yaprak, Mulchand S Rathod Division of Engineering Technology/Business School/Division of Engineering Technology Wayne State University, Detroit, MichiganSUMMARY In most capstone design courses, students go through the complete design processstarting with a description of the problem and ending with a prototype. Many schools haveone or two-semester-long classes where students work in groups or individually. Thecapstone design course in the Division

In particular, we survey how the lab component contributes to achievement offour of the six student learning objectives, namely that students will: 1. Learn vocabulary commonly used in engineering and technology context, 2. Develop the ability to comprehend and use Spanish in settings invariably encountered in our technological society 3. Interact in a more formal setting such as the presentation of a technological/culture project to class and guests, and 4. Explain in the target language the workings of a technological device. We conclude with lessons learned and plans for a final version
polled answered “computers” in response to being askedto name the first thing that occurred to them when they thought of technology.It is important that the engineering education community continue to dispel the myth thattechnological literacy is equivalent to knowing how to operate a computer. Understanding thetechnological world around us is important for all Americans. In its landmark study whichproduced the publication Technically Speaking, the National Academy of Engineering cited anumber of benefits of enhanced technological literacy of society: improved decision making;increased citizen participation in the political process; support of a modern workforce, a

In these process research and development projects students, learn how to function in a team tosolve complex problems, interpret and analyze data, utilize modern technologies, and understandenvironmental issues. Some projects have included industrial mentors. The experimental experiencegreatly benefits students in related coursework. To broaden the impact of the project, the Rowan teamhas also used membrane technology to help attract high school students to engineering through thedevelopment of innovative demonstration modules.

engineering.The construction of MEAs parallels the development of students’ models; both require iterativeprocesses involving development, modification, and adaptation [17]. To guide the design ofMEAs, the MMP outlines six principles: model construction, reality, self-assessment, modeldocumentation, model shareability and reusability, and effective prototype (simplicity) [7]. In thecontext of engineering education, it is crucial for MEAs to be constructed within authentic andrelevant engineering contexts [7, 23]. Therefore, in order to address an authentic and relevantcontext for this study, we base our framework on the concept of Appropriate Technology [24]which guides our selection of the MEA context.Appropriate TechnologyAppropriate Technology has

The intent is to bring together a small group of minority and/or non-minority studentsfrom throughout the United States focusing on graduate education and career opportunities in theareas of business, math, science and engineering in the State of New Mexico. The summer programis designed for each student to mentor each other as they have varied social and academicbackgrounds. Another important aspect of the program is for participants to meet with current UNMSOE graduate students doing research that summer which may help them clarify their area ofgraduate study or research they wish to follow. A series of workshop and field trips are designed tooffer educational, technological, career, morale, health & welfare current topics to the

A Scholarship Program for Students Transferring from Two-Year Colleges Franz Foltz1 and Surendra Gupta2 1 Departments of Science, Technology, and Society and Public Policy 2 Department of Mechanical Engineering Rochester Institute of TechnologyAbstract: This paper provides a mid-project report on a scholarship program funded by theNational Science Foundation that focuses on students who transfer at the 3rd year level from 2-year schools to the engineering and engineering technology BS programs at our university. Thegoals of the program are: (i) to expand and diversify the
of students in engineering and technologyareas. Looking through this perspective the K12 appears as one way to help students to developskills to follow carriers in these fields.New political mentality of São Vicente City Hall has achieved some social conquests with theimplementation of a special program for K12 in its public schools. Conscious of the importanceof eradication of the so-called “technological illiterate” (that is now as important as theeradication of the “illiterate”), has been working hard to get the goal to enhance the number ofstudents to choose the engineering and technology fields.4.

’ academic and personal worlds; therefore, advising cultivatestheir holistic development. Well advised students are (a) more likely to enroll, (b) less likely totake classes that do not contribute towards graduation, (c) more likely to enjoy college, (d) moreapt to persist to graduation. The process of academic advising is important to institutions ofhigher education and the role of the academic advisor is critical to student retention and studentsatisfaction with the institution (Gerdes & Mallinckrodt, 1994; Corts, Lounsbury, Saudargas, &Tatum, 2000; Thompson, Orr, Thompson, & Grover, 2007; Hester, 2008).Academic Advisors in engineering and engineering technology programs play a major role byproviding students timely and accurate
addition, numerous practitioners and educators perceive thatstudents need additional courses in the communications and financial areas in order to practiceengineering at a professional level when they graduate.In particular, the ASCE Board believes today that engineers must have skills in information andcomputer technologies, foreign languages, and an understanding of the economic and socialimplications of civil engineering projects. Along with the aforementioned breadth, increasedspecialty area knowledge is also required 1. This level of knowledge is difficult to develop in thecurrent four-year B.S. program format.
