This project was an attempt to create an atmosphere which fostered theexperience of engineering in a global, economic, environmental and societal context; wherestudents worked with other students and faculty from different disciplines. Additionally the goalwas to create a spirit of service where engineering and other students would learn by experiencethe culture of sharing their abilities and talents with others beyond the boundaries of theirindividual comfort zone. Major project deliverables were the following: design of a solar batterycharging unit; a marketing plan including press releases, website, project brochures, andspeaking engagements; testing and repair of donated laptops; educational software

Communication and teamwork are stressed. Many of these skills are needed for thesuccessful completion of the senior project. The nature of these projects requires the students tosystematically complete their long-term project goals, so good planning is essential. The coursesalso include guidance in resume writing and interviewing skills.One instructor is responsible for the overall course content and grading. Other faculty membersare asked to serve as advisors on the project. Advisors are selected based, as much as possible, “Proceedings of the 2006 Midwest Section

A Monsignor at anunderprivileged parish in Philadelphia, St. Martin of Tours, had requested some assistance in acareer day event at the parish school. The school in turn became the recipient of the firstengineering club. The principal of the school was excited about our interest, as was one of thesixth grade teachers. An engineering club announcement was sent out to the sixth grade. In onenight, the club was filled to capacity with twenty-five sixth grade students.This paper discusses the format and learning outcomes of the club, the curriculum, observationsand outcomes, lessons learned, and expansion plans, assessment needs, and conclusions.Format and learning outcomesThe

By doing so, the students gained the knowledge that they have the power to make changes in their own finances to help reduce their income taxes. Furthermore, this spreadsheet model empowers students with the ability to look beyond their current year’s tax filing requirements and encourages them to plan strategically for their future annual tax obligations. By introducing the practical into the classroom, I am helping students not only gain a greater

A MiniCIM 3.2 Amatrol has been selected as the equipment to teach FMS. This equipment is used to modify the curriculum and nine courses and labs in the IET department to enhance the students’ learning. The FMS project serves also as a starting point to accomplish a six-year development plan of the Manufacturing Laboratory in the IET department. The goal is to complete a fully Computer Integrated Manufacturing system in six years. The strategy used is aligning students’ class projects and/or students’ senior projects with the goals of the Manufacturing Laboratory. These class projects

Course Objectives and EvolutionThe 8 credits of senior design are associated with a year long Fall-Spring sequence of courses,each carrying 4 credits. The course has core junior-level courses as prerequisites so that studentsenter with some substantive computer science fundamentals. We list below the formal courseobjectives. In the two courses, students will: 1. Learn key elements in the development of a significant year-long computer science project: planning, specification, design, analysis, and implementation. 2. Apply concepts from software engineering to the project: requirements, specification, reuse, documentation, verification and validation, testing, configuration management. 3. Learn to write about and practice

Semi-annual progress reports will be required of both the research fellow and the corporate mentors. Mentor reports are to be submitted to ASEE and should include a report on the interactions with the research fellows, address their assessment of the progress of the research plan, list the publications and presentations in process, and address how they

Unfortunately, by theend of the first stage, it became apparent that the recruitment of three undergraduate students forthe first phase was an overestimate. The overabundance of undergraduate assistance left verylittle for each individual to equally contribute and, in the end, the experience was perhaps lessvaluable than had been anticipated. The difference in timing of events between industry and academia is an issue that hinderseffective project interaction. The summer break and breaks between semesters were obviousproblems that had to be addressed, but there is also a rhythm to the work load that students carrythrough the semester.
