require that capstone design projects actually be multidisciplinary.Although that would be desirable, it would be impracticable to make this a requirement. Thisserves the need for an interpretation that could apply to all projects.Direct assessment of this capability could be done by requiring students to include a section intheir capstone design report that lists engineering disciplines other than their own that they wouldinteract with, and what kinds of information would be exchanged. Specifically, they would haveto describe the information that they need from other disciplines, and what information wouldother disciplines need from them. A grade on that specific section of the report would then serveto provide data for assessment of this

By using the application, it is possible to capturethe packets from the device’s network connection to get the IP address of the device. Aftermanaging to capture some packets, one would need to look through them to find out if it came fromthe same location as the device is located at. Upon discovery of the IP address as you look it up,with certain IP address lookups sites, it would indicate if that were the address you are looking for.Once there is confirmation, the next process is set in the next phase of testing.

In addition, all students complete an outreach requirement, typically by giving a talkin a K-12 classroom. Also all students write their project reports as technical papers in a formatappropriate to a target journal or conference.Every semester, three of these courses are taught (i.e., BME 200, 300 and 400 in the Fall or BME201, 301, and 402 in the Spring).

It aimed to capture not only the extent to whichstudents engage in sustainable design but also the influence of project sponsors and/or courseinstructors on sustainable design expectations. In [20] the above-mentioned rubric is reviewedand extended in order to broaden its applicability to engineering design projects outside of civiland environmental engineering.

These courses are also open to (and popular with) nonmajors, leading to interdisciplinary discussions and project teams. The curriculum builds to a unique capstone experience (e.g. Rossmann and Sanford Bernhardt, 2015).Engineering students at Lafayette College also take approximately one-third of theircourses outside STEM subjects, in the humanities, arts, and social sciences.

In particular, ABET criteria c, e, and h should beaddressed before students enroll in a Senior Design class.

dialogs withindustry-based participants, there are some useful outcomes for academic projects.However, we should first recognize four important differences. Student academicprojects (at least up to PhD level) are usually: 1. Undertaken by individuals or a small group. The participants do not have much variety or depth in the experience they bring to the project. 2. Short in duration. Even a capstone project is only equivalent to about a month of full-time energetic project work. That’s not long to learn practical techniques. 3. Not part of a continuous development scheme where one project depends on the timely delivery of results from another. 4. Learning-focused. That means that although a project may be funded by a

Becauseelectrical engineers often work as a member of a team in their profession, especially whenengineering processes interface with hardware and software processes, the department will pilotmulti-disciplinary, problem-oriented team projects. This approach will allow students fromdifferent programs and departments to work together on projects that simulate real workingenvironment scenarios.
