This paperdescribes a senior project that designs a monitoring system for manufacturing processes. It deploysmulti-heterogeneous sensors for cutting force and vibration to monitor CNC machining processes.Students were trained to understand the working principles of sensors, data acquisition (DAQ)devices, programming, and data analysis. The development work includes: 1) part design andmanufacturing process design in Siemens NX; 2) prototype the part using CNC

Recognizing the need to integrate designinto engineering programs as early as possible, and the value of project-based, multi-disciplinary team experiences, significant changes were implemented in the course in theFall 1999 semester. Many of the one-week discipline topics were removed in order tointroduce a team-based project that the students performed over one third of the course.We have gathered anecdotal information from student surveys at the conclusion of eachsemester and analyzed student retention data to assess the success of this course as amethod of teaching design and as a student retention aid.There are two aspects to student retention: keeping the students at

Due to theaforementioned reduction in credit hours and the coincidental expansion of topics to teach, the civilengineering faculty at OIT did not have space in the curriculum to develop new service learning orprofessional skills courses and they desired to have these skills introduced prior to entering thecapstone design experience. As such, the civil engineering faculty at OIT attempted to introduce thebasics of management, business, public policy, and leadership piecemeal throughout the curriculum,especially during a course on project management. However, in two separate assessments,summarized in Table 1, students revealed that they were greatly lacking in the ability to explain basicconcepts of these
