Assessment results from 2004-05 indicated that a relativelysmall percentage of students achieve some of the program outcomes. After making adjustmentsto the curriculum, assessment results from 2005-06 indicated that the vast majority of studentsachieved all the program outcomes.BackgroundThe Computer Engineering program resides in the department of Electrical Engineering andComputer Science (EECS) in The Henry Samueli School of Engineering at the University ofCalifornia, Irvine.

What remained unclear, however, werethe specific reasons for the improvements.In this research paper, reasons for why student learning of problem formulation’s role in designincreased so dramatically are explored using interviews with students from the classes.We interviewed six students who had taken one of the courses where improved learning wasobserved. These students had taken the course as a first year and were interviewed during springof their junior or senior year. Questions were broad and open-ended, asking students, forexample, to recall projects they had done during their first year and if any of those

the modern engineering world, traditional in-class teachingmethods may need to be modified to adequately prepare students to be competent in today’sindustry. Therefore, there is an increased emphasis in providing design experience throughintegrated project-based learning throughout the engineering curriculum. In this paper, we willpresent our recent efforts at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Florida Agriculturaland Mechanical University-Florida State University College of Engineering (FAMU-FSU COE)to develop a coordinated and integrated three-semester course sequence to the capstone experience.The broad aim is to introduce the overall design process through project planning, management,and product development with an emphasis

Secondary objectives include the experience ofworking in a student group (initially recommended but now required), the opportunity to undergo the "painful"and frustrating process of learning to use new software, initial exposure to the design of a part of a chemicalprocess, recognition of the value of Process Flowsheet Simulation Software in optimizing a process, anawareness of the role of economics in design, and

Students, and facultyalike, may be more comfortable with a more quantitative grading scheme. Such anapproach has been developed for use in an introductory design class in which the processof design is emphasized over the product of design. This paper presents the summarizedversions of the assignments in the class offered in the fall of 2007 and completed by 68students. Twenty-five per cent of the course grade was determined from teamperformances on a two-month long, design, fabricate and test project.

?AbstractService-learning (S-L) has been integrated into an average of 30 engineering courses every yearsince 2004 in five undergraduate departments. Forty-three faculty members have tried S-L, overhalf the engineering faculty. In 2010-2011, 1267 students (out of an enrollment of 1600) engagedin S-L projects in 33 courses contributing an estimated 49,500 hours to the community. Thisapproach to trying to develop better engineers and more engaged citizens was motivated by thegrowing body of research showing widespread benefits of S-L, the meeting of academicobjectives through addressing real community needs in credit-bearing courses. But what do thestudents who are part of this program think about S-L? In this study surveys of student viewswere collected
