. Thenumber of design credit hours required for BSME degree is 20 credits which is approximately28% of the required and technical elective engineering courses. The curriculum exposes studentsto a broad and strong design experience. Emphasis is given to the creativity in design, open-ended problems, design methodology, and the consideration of alternative solutions. Also, thedesign content in the curriculum is of a very practical nature. Furthermore, the design content inthe curriculum is distributed from the freshman year to the capstone design courses sequence inthe senior year. The senior design projects deal with real-life engineering problems [6]. Theprojects are often sponsored by professional societies or local industry. Hence, the design

instrument to attract students is by providing them with undergraduate researchopportunities. The Industrial Affiliates Program (IAP) of the ECE Department is one of theprograms providing such opportunities. IAP is supported by 13 companies and it has beenrunning continuously for the last 11 years, supporting over 300 undergraduate students. Thestudents participating in the program usually register in Undergraduate Research (INEL 4998),which is a flexible course that can count for up to 3 credit hours a semester for a maximum of 6credit hours during the student’s career. The size of the course is four students in average. Themain advantage over a capstone design course is that the student has two semesters to completethe project under close

IntegrationOur new program is also restructured such that it is integrated vertically throughout the entirecurriculum. Several key integration concepts are adopted as follows: (1) provide students withgeneral skills required for their engineering problem solving as early as possible; (2) reinforcethese skills continuously throughout the curriculum; (3) offer more technical elective courses forstudents to choose during senior year; (4) strengthen the senior capstone design project whichutilizes and integrates the skills learned in the integrated curriculum and requires the creation ofa final product, similar to an indurial engineering process . To achieve these goals, two newcourses were introduced during the sophomore year: (1) Introduction to

This includes project managementtechniques, version control and project sign-off milestones.Based on the above guidelines, we are developing a design experience for the students based ona popular commercial computer architecture such as the ARM processor[1, 2]; the flexibility ofextending this architecture by creating hardware accelerator blocks by the integration of a highdensity FPGA; and by the addition of off-the-shelf sensor components that are interconnectedthrough the popular I2C communications bus.During the

The purpose ofthe capstone experience was to evaluate if the students understood the principles well enoughthat they could go through each principle as steps towards identifying a problem and thendeveloping an innovative solution. Consequently day-two of the Innovation Boot Campconsisted of each group showing how they came up with the problem and solution of theircapstone project using the five key principles of innovation. A panel of judges from local designand engineering companies were brought in to evaluate the student’s projects. Additionally, thestudents self and peer evaluated each other’s projects, in an effort to help them further

result, the students develop a potential solution and/or prototype considering the market and user in the engineering design process. b. Industry: Similar to a senior design capstone project, an industry-sponsored project allows underclassmen to engage early in the engineering design process. Each project has milestones that the students must complete throughout the year. There is an industry technical advisor that meets with each group, as well as a technical lead at the school to ensure deliverables are met. The advantage to this track over senior design projects is that because not all students are seniors, companies can introduce multi

Students in the Robotics program also take other required and elective courses,selected from courses already offered by the various engineering departments. In addition, theprogram includes an entrepreneurship component to prepare future “entrepreneurial engineers.”6Like all majors at WPI, the program culminates in a capstone design experience wherein studentssynthesize their accumulated knowledge in a major project.

observation is notsurprising; most of these students have not been exposed to the senior capstone experience,which is where project management is usually presented in the Penn State curriculum. This lackof project management exposure is supported by data provided by alumni, and is the primaryimpetus for the creation of this course.The second reason why students enjoyed the course was because most of the activities wereoffered in a hands-on, interactive manner. Direct lecturing occupied very little time during classsessions, which is considerably different from most engineering courses that students take. At thesame time, the level of achievement by most students in the course was very high, as indicatedby the results of the post-course quizzes and
