The third course in the sequence being more of a team design course, employs methodsfrom other design courses from FYE institutions in contact with our team (Adams, 2002; Atmanet al., 2007; Crismond & Adams, 2012; Turns et al., 2006). One engagement protocol that mixesbest practices from Adams’ work and is similar to the liberative ones employed by Riley is usedby one faculty member who requires all students to stand while discussing an element of designfrom the project, and the next speaker must amplify the previous student’s statement in terms ofhis own. Students in this scenario must engage

It challenges students in many of the same ways thatthey will be challenged upon entering today’s workforce. Perhaps one the best aspects of this isthat it is not an activity that is presented as “now we’re going to do something international.”Instead, it is simply the reality that to be successful on a technical project, and earn the desiredgrade, they will have to navigate working on a team that is international.Basic Description of ArrangementThe University of Dayton and Shanghai Normal University are partners in a unique articulationagreement for the Bachelor of Science in

Another challenge faced by departments pertains to satisfying the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission (ETAC) criteria for capstone senior project experience within the curriculum.

This paper presents a revisedprocedure that serves to address previously expressed concerns related to mathematical processeswithin the assessment technique.The assessment technique is constructed within a spreadsheet and is easy to modify for use inany course. Inherent to this assessment technique is a mapping of specific student activities,whether as part of a project or other graded assignment, to specific program outcomes. Themapping involves the assignment of a number between one (weak mapping) and five (strongmapping) by experienced

Based on our current degree requirements, the course contentincludes topics on graphing and presenting data, data reduction, and basic topics from statistics.Our curriculum overhaul included removal of engineering-level calculus requirements. With thischange, some needed material was cut, and the new course covers this to some degree.

However, many students were notacademically prepared to enroll in college STEM courses without remediation, often becauseprevious curriculum choices resulted in limited exposure to math and science in these students’programs of study. Other obstacles include students’ lack of awareness of engineering as apossible career because of unfamiliarity with the profession.1 One natural extension, then, wasto focus projects at the middle school level, where timely interventions would ideally lead toenrollment in classes that would better prepare students for the rigors of college STEM studies.Research, however, is increasingly indicating that that intervention efforts must begin as early

Additionally, Dynamic SystemsModeling requires passing grades in both Differential Equations and Electric Circuits. Althoughstudents who struggle with these prerequisite courses have opportunities to catch up, this oftendelays Dynamic Systems Modeling (and its successor, Controls) to the senior year, or requiresadditional time and financial investment through summer or J-term courses. These delays mayresult in overloaded senior-year schedules and limit students' ability to apply foundationalknowledge in their senior courses and capstone projects.

This type of device can be used in traditional classes but will be most useful for distance-learning classes because of its ability to direct the student and collect data. Introduction Before attempting any design, it is important to specify what the design will accomplish, not how it will be implemented. This is typically done with a document called a functional specification. Once it is completed (and approved by shareholders, if necessary), work can begin on the actual components that make up the design. Many
