ofknowledge results in longer times spent in any phase of the design process which impactscompany efficiency and productivity negatively. To address this issue, the participant’scompany implemented a six-month training program for recently graduated engineers. In terms of the mechanical engineering curriculum, the participant recommendedstructured capstone projects that ensure every group member becomes proficient in all phasesof the design process. For example, the participant noted that for hardware design projects,every student in a group must be involved in preliminary material search and documentation,creation of CAD drawings, alternative design production, and selection of the most cost-effective fabrication method for hardware

The SCoPE engineering curriculum engages middle school students in athree-week capstone project focusing on managing nutrient pollution in their local watershed.Students engage with the problem through local news articles and images of algae covered lakeswhich drives the investigation into the detrimental processes caused by excess nutrients fromsources such as fertilizer and wastewater entering bodies of water. Students apply ideas learnedpreviously in science class to help define the problem, which deepens their understanding of thescience content and emphasizes the role of science in solving problems with engineering. Theyresearch the sources of nutrient pollution and potential strategies for managing

Introduction to engineering has been a historically difficult course forundergraduates as they are introduced to algorithmic thinking, design processes, and problem-solvingmethodologies. To assist students, a variety of approaches can be employed in the classroom; team-based capstone projects with end of course demonstrations, synchronous collaborative technology thatsupports teamwork and communication in and out of class, pair-programming, and visual-basedprogramming languages. Each of these provides

Encourage internships.Internships are a great way to prepare students for careers on multi-disciplinary teams. Onebenefit is to allow students to learn if they like and think they can thrive in that environment. Thesecond is to already start acquiring the necessary skills to succeed in these positions early on.Internships which have a component around rotation across teams, also allow students to gainwider appreciation of how different positions interact, before having to dive deep into one role.On completion of junior-year internships, students can then bring back acquired skills to theirfinal year classes, capstone projects, and

FORMATS3.1 Traditional Teaching Format Thermodynamics is a 3-credit mechanical engineering foundation course taken by sophomore or juniorstanding students. This course is a pre-requisite for upper division courses (advanced thermodynamics and heattransfer courses) taken by senior students. Heat transfer is a 4-credit mechanical engineering course which is apre-requisite for capstone project. In a traditional classroom environment, the course instructor (author)explained the course content using theoretical concepts on white board, showed visuals of real-worldapplications and solved textbook problems on white board. After teaching the course for 3years in a traditionalformat, the author reviewed research articles on problem-based learning and

A few of these key areas include engineering identity and mindsets, global competencies, failure culture, first year experiences in engineering, capstone design thinking, integrating service and authentic learning into the engineering classroom, implementing new instructional methodologies, and design optimization using traditional and non-traditional manufacturing. She seeks to identify best practices and develop assess- ments methods that assist in optimizing computing and engineering learning. Dr. Gurganus was one the inaugural
been pivotal in the development of structural programs to promote research inpredominantly undergraduate institutions [2]. This has led to an increase in undergraduateresearch programs at different universities over the last 35 years.Several models for undergraduate research programs exist, in addition to REUs. These modelsinclude capstone experiences, senior theses, internships and co-ops, course-based undergraduateresearch experiences (CURES), wrap-around experiences, bridge programs, consortium/project-based programs, community-based research programs [1], [3]. However, most of these programsare relatively short-term (i.e., limited to one to two semesters) and thus constrain how deeplystudents can delve into their research.Earlier studies

interactions • Senior design project - The hallmark of the engineering curriculum at Seattle University is our senior design (capstone) project, an academic year-long design project sponsored by local industry, government agencies, or nonprofit organizations. The Project Center at Seattle University interfaces with sponsors to find real-world assignments for design teams typically comprised of 4 students and supported by a faculty advisor, an industry liaison, and a department project coordinator. Over the course of the academic year, teams are responsible for both technical aspects of the project including designing, building, and testing a prototype (if applicable), and project management
accredited programare well equipped for industry. Open-ended problems solved in a group setting have the ability tosatisfy many ABET outcomes at once, most notably outcomes one, two and five. The firstoutcome, “an ability to formulate, and solve complex engineering problems,” students don’tusually engage in until their capstone design course, although an OEMP will expose students tocomplex engineering problems that are solvable with their level of engineering and appliedphysics knowledge. The second ABET outcome, “an ability to apply engineering design toproduce solutions that meet specified needs” including socio technical factors, is difficult tofulfill with closed ended problems, because there is no one correct solution for any engineeringproblem

The courses all include a projectwith oral presentations and other deliverables such as a written paper or an audio-videorecording. Each economics class enrolled 60 undergraduate students and the engineering classeshad 63 and 49 students, respectively. Students in these classes work on their projects in teams of4-6 students each. The projects are scaffolded in ways that allow the students to present theirwork orally, receive feedback

The course also included topics in ethics, theengineering method, and teamworking. Team activities and hands-on small projects inducedthem to know each other and develop community sense. INGE-3002 deepened students’knowledge about their chosen field of study and the importance of basic engineering courses forbeing successful later on in their study programs [13]. It connected freshmen, with seniorsworking on their capstone design projects, to learn how the latter carried an engineering design,followed up the solution development process, and attended presentations of completed designs.Freshmen were then tasked with
teaching strategies, inductive teaching and learning, interdisciplinary teamwork, and development of students’ professional skills.Ms. Carrie Steinlicht, South Dakota State University Dr. Carrie Steinlicht is an Senior Lecturer of Operations Management.

a core skill that graduates should be equipped with upongraduation. To foster the development of these skills, design projects have been incorporatedinto the first year of many engineering programs in addition to capstone senior designprojects [1], [3].While there have been significant endeavors to incorporate design into engineering programs,an issue remains with the assessment of design tasks and projects. These forms of activitieshave traditionally been assessed through portfolios, rubrics, and criterion grading tools [4]–[7], which have some limitations when assessing open-ended design projects. Some of theselimitations include excessive time investment in grading, timeliness of feedback, validityissues, and low levels of reliability [8
