This course has beencontinuously updated to offer the latest tools, software, and teaching and evaluation techniques.Students are assigned to teams based on their learning style, technical and academic background,and schedule. Students must complete an industry-supported project. In this course, students areevaluated both individually through performance on homework, quizzes, and exams; and also asteam members on the basis of a design and prototype review, final report, presentation, peerevaluation, and comments by a panel of experts. Course assessment is based upon a variety ofsurveys and feedback mechanisms. This paper describes several of this year’s projects

The younger students are integrated into real engineering projects earlier in their careersgiving them a genuine engineering experience that serves to address retention challenges facingmany engineering programs. A challenge, however, is creating projects that both challenge theolder students and allow the younger students to participate. At Purdue University, verticallyintegrated teams are brought together to address the needs identified in the local community.LabVIEW tools are utilized to allow the younger students to get up to speed on the projects andparticipate in areas such as data acquisition, data analysis, and microcontroller programming.This paper describes how the vertically integrated teams are formed, provides an overview of

to the uncertain andstochastic nature of, as examples, project cash flows and interest rates. Unfortunately, this traditional approachdoes not provide students with the skills to deal with real world situations, which inherently involve uncertaintyand thereby, risk. Typically, most Engineering Economy texts for undergraduate students deal with uncertaintyand risk only in brief chapters, usually at the end of the book. The uncertain environment is introduced as aspecial case, rather than as the norm. In this paper, we propose an approach to learning Engineering Economythat is characterized by treatment of uncertainty and is motivated by risk; in fact, it considers the deterministiccase as a special case.

The integrated approach used collaborationbetween one semester of Engineering Design Methods (EDM) and two-semesters of the SeniorDesign Project (SDP). The integrated approach, modeled on the engineering design spine withroots in freshman courses, involved both the EDM and SDP cohorts. The interclass involvementincludes participation in design review presentations, senior-to-junior mentorship, and multiclassworkshops. Student feedback through periodic surveys and interviews provided insight into thestudents’ progress and learning outcomes.

Academy seeks to educate and inspire their civil engineering studentsthrough a rigorous and realistic academic program. One of the cornerstone courses in theprogram is a Construction Management Course that incorporates a variety of hands-on, real-world, learning challenges. The objective of the first third of the course is for the students togain a foundational understanding of the basics of construction management to include projectbidding, contract mechanisms, scheduling, estimating, and project controls. The topics arepresented in a traditional classroom environment. The students are then challenged in the nextthird of the course to apply those construction management skills in a hands-on constructionsimulation exercise identified as the

in the paper. The rationale for the tiger team was the observation overmany years of a capstone class that as projects are functionally decomposed and subsystemsassigned to individual students, a not insignificant fraction of students become “stuck” at somepoint in time – the concept of “stuckness” is further derived in the full paper. The result is that ifdelays accumulate on critical parts of the project, teams often struggle to get the project back ontrack and end up with a cascading series of missed deadlines. The rationale for the tiger team isto help teams identify when parts of the project are getting behind schedule and to haveadditional, short-term help available.In the initial implementation described here, the tiger team was two

The process of building the logical networkrequires reading drawings, visualizing structures in mind, finding relationship betweenactivities, and estimating the duration required to complete each activity. Therepresentation of the logical network has long been made by a CPM network or a bar chart.However, students often find it difficult to intuit construction schedule by reading two-dimension (2D

This survey was also used tosolicit comments on certification on a broad-spectrum.
