Finally, quality control, time and budgetary issues are addressed.INTRODUCTIONFor more than 20 years, the Mechanical Engineering sophomores at GMI have been taking acourse entitled "Introduction to Design." The main objectives of this course have always been tolearn the design process and apply it to a realistic design project where a device is designed,manufactured and entered into a competition. This is a 3-credit course (1 hour of lecture and twotwo-hour labs) offered every term, which consists of 11 weeks of instruction and one week offinals.For the past three years, we have

Project-based instruction of bioengineeringcapstone design hinges upon engaging the students’ interest and commitment early in the project.Strategies to achieve this level of student commitment can include encouraging student-originated project ideas, seeking projects from real-world external clients in research andindustry, or offering instructor-originated projects orchestrated specifically to elicit studentinterest.

CourseAbstractCapstone courses for senior engineering students may be organized in numerous ways. Usually,the goal is to give students a significant development and design experience that will preparethem well for their work following graduation. Sometimes the focus of a capstone course is onsolving technical problems of an advanced project. Sometimes the focus is on getting thestudents to produce a design based on the scope provided by an industry partner. Sometimes thefocus is on giving the students a rich experience in how a team works together. Sometimes thefocus is on the business side of projects and engineering. Sometimes the focus is on coveringmaterial that doesn’t fit in any of the other regular courses. Most capstone courses try to formsome balance

In their designs, students had to consider both hard (limited and conflicting contaminantinformation for site soil and groundwater) and soft (the viewpoints of the various communitystakeholders) constraints.Based on student, faculty and staff feedback, the design experience carried more meaning andencouraged greater learning because it involved a real problem. Additionally, the experienceextended student learning beyond the technical aspects of site remediation as a result of workingand interfacing with people from a variety of interests and professional backgrounds

The main focus of thestudy is on the impact of these approaches on students’ engagement and conceptualunderstanding of course material. A project-based learning (PBL) approach was incorporatedinto both courses through real medical device projects to provide students with hands-onexperiences on the challenges of medical device design and development.

Thegoal of the method, derived from problem-based approaches, was to support students inprogramming a large-scale project that lasted the entire semester (similar in spirit withapproaches suggested in 2,3).

At MCC we have hadvaried levels of participation from advisory committee members. Members are more thanwilling to give suggestions on project topics and possible design scenarios from their industry,but due to proprietary reasons, as of yet they have not been willing to share any parametric UGassembly files that we can use as a starting point for a real life industrial applications.As a result, prior to the start of the course I visited three companies, which gave me ideas forindustrial-based

motivation and engagement. Projects were developed by academics (research facultymembers or doctoral students) in their research laboratories. The purpose of this exploratorystudy is to understand the motivation the academics had to engage with students and invest timeand resources in creating research projects not attached to students' grades or credits. Weconducted interviews with academics to understand why they decided to engage with theresearch projects. Our results suggest that the most important thing was to develop student-teacher engagement, which had an implication later on in their classrooms. Similarly, they saw itas a mentoring opportunity and as a way to improve their time-management skills.IntroductionStudent motivation and engagement
