Let us begin by examining the professional functions of an engineering technologist upon being given an open-ended design project. The ET will invariably work in a design group; will initially research the project fully; will create and consider several possible design paths; will prepare a Design Proposal and Cost Estimate that is subject to (client) approval; will carefully schedule the project work which may include prototyping; will prepare formal Progress Reports; may develop a

For evaluation purposes, the Universityperiodically sends out surveys in which engineering alumni are asked about how well preparedthey perceive themselves to be for their post-graduation employment. Using the results from the2010 administration of this survey, this study seeks to answer the following questions: (1) Whatare alumni’s perceptions of their preparedness in these areas: ethics, innovation, communication,project management, global and international work, and multidisciplinary teamwork? (2) Canclusters be identified from the survey results? (3) What undergraduate engineering experienceshelped prepare them for these skills, and in what ways do they believe the

. Especiallycommercially available computer algebra systems have become ubiquitous tools, althoughthere is some concern that they may detract students from understanding core mathematicalconcepts. Such an undesirable effect can be avoided by making use of high-levelprogramming languages in mathematics education. Computer programming does not onlystrengthen problem solving skills and logical and sequential reasoning, it also provides a highdegree of flexibility and an ample scope for applications in teaching and learning.Here we present an example of the synergistic effect of the interaction of computerprogramming and mathematics in undergraduate engineering education within the frameworkof team-oriented project-based learning.

The topics of senior designprojects are chosen by students, not professors. Since last year, each team is required to evaluatethe project from a sustainability point of view in the final report. Accordingly, a new approach isproposed in this paper to enhance students’ understanding of sustainable engineering designprinciples and to help them synthesize sustainability concepts already introduced in previouscourses.

Thus, in the Fall of 2016, the My Possibilities Art Table project began. The objective of this project is to develop a motorized easel (i.e. art table) that will allow My Possibilities’ students to self-sufficiently operate the table. The team solved this problem by developing an art table that would be wheelchair accessible, contain simple controls, and include vertical and rotational motion. In order to deliver the finalized product, the team segmented the system into subsystems to improve the design process. These systems included a
