seminaris similar to that described by Swamidass and Bryant1, except in addition to having studentswork on team-related activities, there are also guest speakers who present their entrepreneurialactivities, and the teams begin to concentrate on identifying a single product idea. For eachoffering, 3 teams of between 3-5 students were selected.Course outcomes include being able to: • Understand and experience selected elements of the product realization process. • Demonstrate that students can function effectively on multidisciplinary teams. • Develop a complete business plan for the introduction of a new product. • Have a demonstrated understanding of intellectual property and ethical issues associated with new product

Ethics, product liability related to design practice.Developing Shared Design and Teaching ToolsTo use the base set of lecture materials and Capstone Design Manual, some web-based tools have beendeveloped. Others recognized as useful will be developed in the near future. The developed teaching anddesign tools include a design case library, a tolerance/fits specification tool, an optimization subroutinelibrary, a cam-follower modeling and dynamic simulation tool, and a tolerance stack analysis tool.

According to the bill, tenfederal agencies, such as the National Science Foundation, would award grants to sixnanoscience research centers established by the National Nanotechnology Initiative. It authorizespublic hearings and expert advisory panels, as well as the American NanotechnologyPreparedness Center to study the emerging technology's potential societal and ethical effects.3About 70 percent of the new nanotechnology funding will go to university research efforts,which will help meet the demand for workers with nanoscale science and engineering skills.

Theymust also participate in the written and oral sections of the final competition, whichrequires the teams to defend their choices both on paper and on stage.One project: two solutionsOf course the first time an engineering department atany university embarks upon such a competition,there will naturally be issues to smooth out. ForMTSU, the problem initially was not how manystudents were available for the task, rather it was howto organize them into productive teams.

Compared to top enrollment majors, BIOE’sfeel they are struggling more with their courses and have less faculty support. BIOE females feelthey have a greater understanding and ethical responsibility, and confidence in their choice ofmajor compared to top enrollment females. Due to the consistency of these results a predictivemodel of choice of long-term engineering goal was created. Students who score highly onknowing an engineer as a reason for selecting a major, wanting a good potential salary, designingand building things, and their perceptions of the present were likely to be traditional engineers.Students

OutcomesUpon the completion of this project, students certainly gained some knowledge related to circuitdesign and collaborated with each other working toward a common goal. In addition, it can beclaimed that the project activity supports the following students outcomes set by ABET: (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering; (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data; (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability; (d) an ability to function on

Rather, a true partnership with the community that is being served must be forged through a model where the community is involved in decision-making and management of projects.

Students learned about various aspects of renewable energy including problemidentification, technical, social and environmental constraints, multidisciplinary teammanagement, communications and documentation skills. These projects also provided thestudents with an opportunity to view their designs from an ethical and sustainability awarenessperspective, thus realizing a lifelong learning opportunity. Through practice, the students realizedthat the key success to a design project is team work, industry interaction, and collaborations.Two renewable energy-related courses were developed and are being offered in the department.One of the courses is a

After each presentation, the teamreceived feedback from the faculty and peers on the content and delivery of the presentation andtheir technical writing skills. Each section of the final technical report was reviewed and gradedby the team mentor (Outcome G). One of the deliverables was the contextualization documentthat reports what significance the final design might have on the environment, health and safetyconcerns, economics, ethics, etc. (Outcome H).
