students design new lab experiments as their Capstone projects for the InternalCombustion Engine course and the Dynamics and Vibration course. The student designed lab andthe equipment was being used for the future students. We intend to explore further this approachto address difficult concepts students experienced in the engineering curriculum.Conclusion and Future ResearchA student designed experiment lab class created an active learning opportunity to the students. Itwas utilized to help the students to learn the concept of Specific Heat in a thermodynamics course.Based on the pre/post quizzes and survey results, the approach improved student learningsignificantly.Besides create an active learning environment to improve students’ learning
. This engineering project is designed to match the National Research Council'sNational Science Standards for 5-8 Abilities of Technological Design: i identify appropriate problemsfor technological design, design a solution or product, implement a proposed design, evaluate completedtechnological designs or products, and communicate the process of technological design.The lab described earlier in this paper and developed for undergraduates can be adapted for success for students ingrades four to eight. The age-appropriate adaptations for younger students include: (1) presenting the context forthe problem, (2) choosing appropriate materials, (3) devising a materials distribution and cleanup system, and (4)helping students understand trade-offs by

Entrepreneurship calls for innovation in products, services, or processes involvedin business operations. Indeed, innovation is among the key factors that enhance the 4success of entrepreneurial ventures . For engineering businesses and practitioners tosucceed in their industry, they need to create innovative engineering projects. In addition,through entrepreneurship, they learn how to create technology-based opportunities, andways of identifying, obtaining, producing, and transferring technology to generate viable

A recent model has been implemented in the college ofengineering at Tennessee Tech (TTU) to base the initial programming experience onhardware in the loop approach where the programming target is a micro-controller. Thiscourse has been offered in both C/C++ and Matlab programming language. From multiple previous implementations, we see that the students that engaged in thehands-on, hardware-based programming activities reported a more positive earlyexperience with programming and its relation to the engineering curriculum relative totheir comparison-group peers. The students participating in the project also reportedimproved confidence in their ability to learn and use
takenin the sophomore year. Circuit theory was chosen for this initiative because it is one of theearliest courses taken by our students, so by learning some problem-solving and teamwork skillsin circuit theory, students can be expected to use and develop them (at instructors’ discretion) inall subsequent ECE courses throughout the program. TBL was chosen for this effort overproject-based learning and problem-based learning for several reasons. In project-based learning,heavy emphasis is placed on the application of previously acquired knowledge, rather than itsacquisition [2]. Thus, it is well-matched to upper-level design, i.e., capstone, courses. In bothTBL and problem-based learning, on the other hand, the emphasis is on both the acquisition
group discussions often triggered additional comments from studentswhich may have been missed if the interviews were individual. Group discussions fostered synergy,encouraging more students to share their observations and experiences.Student FeedbackNotable AI tools include ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Claude AI, Google Gemini, and Meta AI.Although the University provides access to Microsoft Copilot [12], most students prefer ChatGPT[13], with 20% subscribing to its premium service. Students expressed dissatisfaction with Copilot,unanimously favoring ChatGPT.Figure 1 shows the results of the student survey organized by course: Senior Design (SD): A two-semester capstone design project in groups of 3 to 5 students.

Undergraduate Chemical Engineering Design Education Thomas E. Marlin McMaster UniversityAbstract: This paper presents a proposal for increased emphasis on operability in the ChemicalEngineering capstone design courses. Operability becomes a natural aspect of the process designcourse for a project that is properly defined with various scenarios and uncertainty. Key topicsin operability are the operating window, flexibility, reliability, safety, efficiency, operationduring transitions, dynamic performance, and monitoring and diagnosis. Each is discussed in thepaper with process examples and its relationship to prior learning and process design

. 1. IntroductionFor an engineering degree to be generally accepted, it must come from an institution whose degreeprograms have been certified by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).One of the essential major components to achieve program accreditation by ABET is the approval ofits capstone design activities, which are commonly referred to as its senior design courses. We havefound that a student’s successful completion of his (her) engineering design project is muchdependent of his (her) engineering mathematics background. The Electrical Engineering Departmentat Southern University and A& M College, Baton Rouge, in the past twenty year experiences hasshown that students with engineering major can’t make a

From the syllabi for the whole program one canextract lists of textbooks for the bookstore, or lists of bibliographic references for adquisition by thelibrary, or the short course descriptions for the catalog. All these issues point to the need for aflexible tool to support the creation, editing, maintenance, review, and publication of a program’ssyllabi in a uniform way.Unisyllabus is a tool originally developed as a Capstone project which incorporates all the abovefeatures and some more.
