CourseAbstractThe projects and assignments in freshman level CAD/CAM courses provide students a valuablechance to develop their skills further. In the past, most of assignments and projects were aboutdesigning simple mechanical (and/or electrical) system and theories without requiring anymanufacturing skills. However, students need to have basic manufacturing skills as they move upto the upper level classes or when they graduate. Students who have a good manufacturing skillstend to have better hands-on skills and to be more successful as students as well as engineers.In this specific example class, students are required to learn manufacturing skills through severalunique manufacturing assignments. Three manufacturing assignments including Keychain

This paper will explain anddiscuss this newly established engineering design education model, results from the capstonedesign education, and its effects on design education.2. Capstone Design EducationThe level of domestic design technologies reaches only about 50%-70% of the top level ofthe world. When a new design technology is introduced, 5~20% of overall sales must beincreased. 1 The domestic industry is especially lacking in system design technology (46.9%)and materials technology (28.8%). 1 Also, at least 2-3 years of field training and experienceneeded for

However, the inherent complexity and variability presentwithin economic evaluation models often limits practical use for assessment of theeconomic impact of field implementations as well as within Total Quality Management(TQM) curriculums. In response to the limitations of traditional accounting andengineering economics methods, Engineering Technology faculty at IUPUI and otherPurdue regional campuses have created an Excel-based spreadsheet model for evaluation ofthe economic impact of quality improvement projects throughout the implementation cycle.Although this tool was specifically developed for use within healthcare, we have found thismethodology to be invaluable for supporting project initiation and assessment of

course (CivilEngineering Design) began as an experimental course taken by students as an elective, but soonbecame a required course for all seniors. It is taught during the spring quarter of the senior yearas a “capstone” course and constitutes the last required design course in the program. A courseentitled “Engineering Project Management” is a precursor. The goals of the design course are tomake it as near to actual design office practice as possible, for the instructors to “guide” thestudents as opposed to “lecture” them, and to have practitioners guide the design projects.IntroductionPortland State University (PSU) runs on a quarter system, with each quarter spanning ten weeksplus final exams.

The project consisted of development Arduino-based projects that couldcompete in the county and Kansas state fairs in robotics. Teams were expected to develop theproject and then develop instructional materials such that a high school student could constructthe project. These instructional materials were made available to participants in 4-H through awebsite.
