The emphasis upon “Agility” in engineering andsoftware development was signaled by the Agile Manifesto in 2001. Seventeen industry softwareengineers declared a change in the software development process. Thomas, one of the group ofseventeen, became a noted Ruby on Rails evangelist and publisher8. Rails invites agility. Agilesoftware development, unlike the rigid, sequential “waterfall” model for software development,consists of development methods based on incremental and iterative steps. In agile development,project requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between cross-functional teams.It facilitates adaptive planning, development

hegde@pitt.eduABSTRACTThis paper presents the development and teaching of a university level course for college seniors andgraduate students on Frugal Engineering and Value Analysis. We developed and offered the course toboth business and engineering students. Here, we present the need for teaching frugal engineering in anengineering curriculum. Value Methodology or Value Engineering, along with Quality Engineering, arekey components of frugal engineering. “Wicked” problems and their challenges are also presented inthis course, along with wicked problem-solving strategies. While the concepts behind Value Engineeringwere developed in the 1940s and frequently applied in industrial, manufacturing, construction, anddefense projects, they are rarely

Experiments can be conducted safely at home,school, or camp. Additionally, materials are readily available, and low cost. Culinary advances inmolecular gastronomy allow us to think even further about how we can engage students in theengineering design process using food as a building material.

applications in which the S12’s Fuzzy Logiccapabilities are used.During Spring semester, 2010, a Design Workshop course was offered in which students usedthe S12 microcontroller to implement applications of Intelligent Control. Based on theexperience of teaching that workshop, a similar Design Workshop course is scheduled for Fallsemester, 2010. This paper will include some results from the design projects conducted duringthe Spring workshop as examples of Intelligent Control applications using Fuzzy Logic.The Freescale S12 processor is probably the most popular general-purpose 16-bit microcontrollercurrently on the market. It is used as the focus for microprocessor/microcontroller courses inmany Electrical or Computer Engineering programs across the
design process because ENGR 180 has no prerequisites. Throughvarious projects and in-class activities, students are made aware of the significance. As a resultof the course’s learning outcomes, oral communication is the focus of the class rather thantechnical writing.Boise State University has not previously offered a course that focuses on communicationthroughout the design process. The State Board of Education has requested for undergraduatestudents to graduate with specific competencies in oral communication. ENGR 180 was designedto emphasize the importance of oral communication as an engineer.In early 2018, the State Board of Education (SBOE) mandated the four state universities in Idahorequire a Foundations of Oral Communication (FC) course
the University ofIndianapolis R.B. Annis School of Engineering to develop an intelligent visual factoryannunciation system. The system utilizes moving head lighting fixtures from theentertainment/concert industry to provide immediate visual feedback for problems,troubleshooting, and process guidance in a manufacturing environment. This project requiredthe student design team to evaluate existing protocols from multiple industries and create acommon platform applicable to a factory environment. The end product will be able to directattention to specific 3D locations andl be integrated into already existing systems using aProgrammable Logic Controller (PLC).Footer: © American Society for Engineering Education, 2021

Full Paper: A Systems Engineering Approach to Conceptual Design in a 1st-Year Engineering Program1st-year engineering students engage in three projects over the course of the fall and springsemesters. In the fall semester students build, test, and present at an exposition an Arduino-basedgame. While students are provided the design for the game, they are strongly encouraged tomake creative modifications. Following this, students complete a reverse engineering activity ona simple household appliance or medical device. The result is a CAD model of the device and adetailed report, typically of about 40 – 50 pages. Students work in teams of three or four on bothprojects.In the spring semester work consists of a
Process Design IIand Design III course sequence at our minority-serving institution (MSI), Texas A&MUniversity-Kingsville (TAMUK). In this two-semester course sequence, students are introducedto sustainability concepts during instruction in chemical process formulation and processsimulation (Design II). Subsequently, students are further instructed on this topic during theirsemester-long senior design project (Design III) course. For the senior design experience,students are required to form into groups of four and complete a senior design project thatinvolves process simulation, using Aspen Plus software, and cost estimation of a chosenchemical process.
