Peer Project Management for Capstone Design TeamsAbstractThe mechanical and mechatronic engineering programs at California State University Chicoconclude with a robust, externally funded, two-semester capstone design experience. Students inboth majors work in interdisciplinary teams on year-long design projects sponsored by industrialpartners. Project teams are assigned a faculty advisor whose role [1] is multi-faceted, but doesnot include day-to-day project management or responsibility for project success.Design projects in industry typically have an assigned project manager (PM) with responsibilityfor overall project success as well as a lead role in initiating, planning, executing, monitoring,and controlling the project
place towork. While it is good to see users appreciated the makerspace as a workshop, other themeswere more interesting. Around 30% of responses noted the sense of community among users,which includes helping and teaching one another, providing support for items #10 and #11. Thetheme of innovation appeared in about 10% of responses, providing support for item #1. Twoother themes appeared in the data, which dealt with creativity (16% of responses) andextracurricular learning (17% of responses). One user response was very approving of theuniversity’s efforts thus far: “A convenient place to find like-minded engineers. It feels like home. Make almost anything free of cost. Lots of resources to learn, make, discover, and innovate. I

Pedagogicalimplications of eEngineering, and eDesign in particular, are yet to be examined thoroughly.Some crucial issues must be addressed as to whether and how human mind can transform fromthe traditional approaches of knowledge acquisition and construction to new paradigms wherephysical presence becomes less relevant to the learning process in order to gain a wider scope ofthe learning subject.7.

Langdon Winner38 has identifiedthe centralized power structures required for the development of nuclear power (which wouldextend here to fusion technologies). Who will be able to participate in the engineering projectsidentified, and in what capacities – as embedded corporate workers, as government employees,as contractors, as non-profit employees, or as independent professionals? Will engineers haveautonomy to control the means of production? What latitude will they have to negotiate theethical boundaries of a project? Some of these questions relate directly to the means, discussedfurther below, but to what extent does the shaping

There is a significantbody of research about the ways to measure and achieve user-friendliness in a product. Acustomer-driven approach to product design aims for greater user comfort and better productexperience. Design tools that keep the user in mind during early stages of design can greatlyimprove the usability of the end product.Systematically breaking down a product into

This approach seeks to equipfuture construction engineers with the practical skills necessary for success in their careers and tomeet the industry's demands effectively.IntroductionEducation plays a pivotal role in teaching planning. A well-structured teaching method not onlyfacilitates knowledge transfer but also encourages students to challenge their preconceptions andmotivates them to learn [1]. When it comes to engineering education, there are unique peculiaritiesdue to the specific competencies required in this field. Engineering education is characterized bya distinct design in most curriculums [2]. The aim is to cultivate interdisciplinary-minded andhighly talented practitioners possessing innovative thinking and problem-solving

theUAHuntsville IPT program they all changed their mind and enrolled in AP Science and/or Mathcourses their senior year. They also asked for more opportunities like the IPT program. Theenthusiasm, engagement, and impact of the pilot program caused the course instructors toseriously consider developing a high school outreach component to the UAHuntsville IPTProgram. Thus the InSPIRESS initiative was created. InSPIRESS is in some ways an extensionof the freshman level design experiences that many engineering colleges have implemented overthe last 20 years.5,7,8,9,10 The purpose of these classes is to help the participants better understandwhat engineers do. InSPIRESS seeks to do this during the high school years so that students gaina better understanding

Another insight indicated thatdesign, material, and project-intensive courses include opportunities for sustainability educationmore prominently than foundational engineering courses designed for understanding.Peer Institution AssessmentOne can look outside of RHIT’s curricula to identify opportunities for future improvement byobtaining insight from other peer institutions. Select schools who thrive as recognizedsustainability-minded schools were identified, and publicly available information was gatheredabout the schools’ sustainability education. When accessible, interviews with students of theinstitution were conducted to get a better understanding of the student experience

A structure deemed standard should possess theresilience to withstand the test of time, contingent upon the absence of any quality gaps in itsconstruction. Adherence to the lean six-sigma methodology and other safety and ethicalstandards in the construction stage is imperative for ensuring durability. Unfortunately, this idealscenario is not universally evident, particularly in certain countries. Nigeria, for example,grapples with a disconcerting surge in building collapses, accompanied by tales of grief and loss.In spite of the growth in Nigeria's real
