Students complete a design challenge prior to the DfAM educationalintervention that is then offered in the form of a design workshop in conjunction with a brieflecture. Ideas generated are collected and assessed using an assessment framework thatencourages the use of DfAM considerations. Parts are scored on a scale of 1 to 4 in the followingcategories: part complexity, assembly complexity, number of separate parts, functionality,thin/smallest feature size, smallest tolerance, unsupported features, support material removal andthe largest build plate contact

Students will have the same lectures andcourse materials, accompanied by opportunities to work in small groups both on their homecampus and virtually with students and faculty from the partner institution.To provide more specific background knowledge that is important for data scientists, we are alsodeveloping new “short courses” that allow students to build skills in areas not typically includedin their primary degree programs.

which the curriculum tends to focus on the science ofengineering much more than the application. The traditional design capstone sequences result inpaper designs, leaving students wanting more experiential learning. This experimental projectscapstone course sequence is an attempt to address that in a more engaging way for the studentsthan a traditional senior lab course series. Due to the research focus of the capstone, EML wasan obvious choice for improving the course sequence. The core concepts of the EM frameworkwere already in the courses, so it mainly required adjusting the terminology.ImplementationLike most capstones, AE 4510-11 already requires more work than the students wish.

However,ECE 301 has pre-requisite relationships to several later courses in the EE curriculum because thematerial in this course prepares students for more advanced topics. The breadth of the course andthe need to integrate many knowledge bases—including physics, geometry, calculus, andcircuits—can contribute to an inherently challenging experience. ECE 301 instructors share acommitment to wanting to support students through this course. Nonetheless, the course hasdeveloped a reputation among students as a “weed-out.” Engineering education researchers havedocumented how gateway courses can have negative effects on students’ perceptions of theirbelongingness and their ability to succeed within the

These faculty members provide an independent assessment and evaluation of the degree of attainment of each SO and provide feedback for course improvement and curriculum change.
