thesis project. In addition, senior-level engineering students were required to complete ateam-oriented, design focused capstone project as well as an individual based, research focusedproject in order to graduate. Both of which were evaluated by the departmental staff. The scope,rigor, and quality of such projects appeared to be similar to those found in the U.S., which wasencouraging. However, the lack of staff with academic credentials made this problematic as thenumber of available project supervisors was so limited to adequately mentor approximately 20master level and 30 undergraduate students within the department. As a consequence, the authorspent considerable time during the year assisting students in formulating appropriate
an Electrical and Computer Engineering Undergraduate ProgramIntroductionInstruction in ethical considerations is an important part of every engineering discipline. Inmany programs, a student’s exposure to ethical issues is delayed until the capstone senior designexperience. For example, in the past we have included lectures devoted to ethics in our Electricaland Computer Engineering senior design program that start with an introduction to the NationalSociety of Professional Engineers (NSPE) and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers(IEEE) codes of ethics, and then is followed by a discussion of various ethical case studies.While this is common in many programs, surveys of our students have revealed that they do notvalue
students commenced their placements in July 2017, after 18months of project-based and self-directed online learning.Figure 1. Engineering students on industry placementsSeventeen students enrolled in workplace learning placements and the planning and review-focused class. Students on placement worked with 15 host organizations, where theorganizations exist at the local, national, and international levels. Students were involved invarious projects across the civil engineering discipline. Example projects that studentsworked on included a pedestrian and cyclist river bridge, dam safety upgrade, commercialbuilding upgrade, local effluent disposal investigations, and road and roundabout design.Local government organizations hosted the majority of
. Authors believe that it ishigh time that the discussed surface parameters, tools, filters and mathematical modeling ofmethods be included in all design, manufacturing and capstone project courses (freshmenthrough senior year). A better educated workforce would be able to contribute significantlyhigher to quality tools and advanced metrology. It is an evolutionary process, i.e., standards keepconstantly changing; however, it must transition smoothly into the curriculum. It is imperativethat course instructors keep up to date with the latest standards, and implement them as shortinteractive modules. In an ongoing effort, based upon the contents of this paper, the authors havemade several instructional modules on surface finish. These modules
create andupdate an online open portfolio in the form of a small website with descriptions of their finalcourse projects (referred to as capstone projects). In their portfolios the youth includedescriptions of their design processes, as well as, the failures and challenges they faced. Thewebsites are usually media-rich and include images and videos. Instructors often view thesewebsites during the courses and afterwards and provide the youth with feedback. Asrecommended by previous research [17], this usage of open portfolios is a form of qualitativeassessment that incorporate learning, self-reflection and self-expression as part of theassessment.Another key activity at DHF that supports the youth’s self-reflection and self-expression is

A term long group project requires students todevelop, execute, and report on a measurement experiment of their own choosing. This course isdesigned to particularly prepare students for their senior year capstone design experience bygiving them practice in open ended projects and higher level analysis skills.

learning to usethe practices that engineers use to solve problems. Undergraduate engineering programs all haveintended learning outcomes aimed at these practices, such as “an ability to design and conductexperiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data” and “an ability to design a system,component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints” [10]. As noted above,these practices are highly valued by employers, who note that recent college graduates often lackproficiency with these practices [11]. The ideal place to learn these practices is in the real world,making capstone projects, internships, and other activities that require students to work onauthentic problems highly valued experiences.

ANT has also been a very helpful toolfor teaching UVA’s STS 4600: “Engineering Ethics.” Through that course students aresupported in writing their Undergraduate Thesis, from a design project based largely onthe capstone project within their majors. The STS 4600 engineering ethics course guidesstudents to identify a research question related to their capstone project, to incorporatesocial and ethical considerations. For example, as one student wrote, in synthesizing hercapstone project and STS 4600 research [9]: Many of the technologies schools are incorporating in the classroom are merely being used for
