Other programs reflecting Wei’s international reach include the college’s Poverty Alleviation/Service-Learning program and Engineers Without Borders. This global perspective is rooted in a vision of SJSU as a preeminent producer of forward-thinking problem-solvers. With this goal in mind, Wei has established the Silicon Valley Engineering Scholarship, a program that provides $5,000 of annual support for high-achieving students to pursue engineering careers.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNINGAbstractThe Mechanical Engineering Technology program at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT)has implemented an alternative to the capstone project technique commonly used to satisfy theABET Criterion 5 Curriculum section d. (Capstone or other integrating experiences must drawtogether diverse elements of the curriculum and develop student competence in focusing bothtechnical and non-technical skills in solving problems.)1A majority of Engineering Technology and Engineering Science programs rely upon a capstoneproject for providing an integrating experience which, by their very nature, are burdensome tothe program resources and invariably suffer many disadvantages in their operation. Due to thesize and complexity of capstone

Students begin the semesterlearning how to use the software competently and then engage in a design project requiring thedevelopment of a manufacturing robot. Students were given approximately six weeks to workon the activity. Specifically, students were asked to mechanically design and model a “gripper”and accompanying robotic arm for a pneumatically activated robot. Students are expected toaccomplish this task using a solid modeling software package. They are given a theoreticalbackground or setting for the design requiring it to be implemented in an assembly line

The themes emerging from this analysis show thatboth graduating students and current students seek to strengthen the RAMP community beyondthe summer program. Their recommendations point to the need for continuing support in bothpersonal achievement and for advocating the needs of their peers. With over a hundred RAMPparticipants now established across the engineering majors and the workforce, theserecommendations will be integrated in the participatory action research framework that anchorsthe design of RAMP.

The beta+ prototype (Concept 4)synthesized the wooden scooter shape of the beta prototype with Concepts 1a and 1b. The first ofthese synthesized concepts (Concept 1a) – an abstraction of Animate – was synthesized into thebeta+ prototype by transforming the original idea of creating a device in the shape of somethingapproachable and recognizable, and instead created a device with images of somethingapproachable and recognizable – in this case, Mickey Mouse.

The projects bringreal world considerations into the mix, such as design constraints, scheduling, logistics, financing andvarious other project management concerns.The design curriculum culminates in a two-semester capstone design project that encompasses the fullscope of engineering design and standard program outcomes [2]. The capstone design projects areintended to be a design/build/test project for an external audience. Students are assessed for the technicalwork and independent learning necessary in the design phase, the ability to assemble the overallprototype, and the quality of testing

At the beginning of thesemester, texts on learning strategies, reading, concept mapping, emotional competencies, changeand stress were distributed to each student and discussed in the classroom. We emphasized theimportance for students not only to monitor their performance during the semester but also to lookback on their learning strategies and, if necessary, to improve them. To that end, we askedstudents to periodically write in a personal learning journal their thoughts about their learningstrategies. As an incentive, we told them that, as one of their final exams, they would have towrite a 7 to 10-page essay about their learning strategies. They were also informed that they

A concrete takeaway from these efforts were two clearly differentiated set of competencies,namely, task specific competencies that make a learner competitive today and meta-competenciesthat enables a learner to adapt to future needs. IRK+B provides an instructor with a conceptualframework to understand and evaluate (using Bloom’s taxonomy) where a learner is today andwhere he/she needs to be in future and thereby determine the scaffolds (using Kolb’s experientiallearning) a learner would need in attaining the goal. These experiences were foundational to the design a curriculum that embodies the need fora systemic development of
