held in summer session 2013. The reasoningfor a summer session was to ensure that among the seven participating students, most if not allwould have completed coursework in all six traditional subareas (structural, transportation,construction, environmental, geotechnical, and water resources) of the civil engineeringdiscipline.This first senior design project entailed the design of an outdoor civil engineering laboratory.The project was linked to the ABET EAC 2000 Outcome 3c and modified Bloom’s Taxonomydescribed in the section of this report in regard to preparation for accreditation.The students arranged themselves in six subarea teams, each of which had at least three studentsinvolved. This means that any one particular student was part of

II Power Quality and Energy AnalyzerDesign of the BobbinIn an effort to allow students to utilize industrial level equipment in their labs, we approachedour CAD students to design a “bobbin” component where they could employ multiple wraps ofwire. Asking second semester CAD students to design the bobbin introduced them to the designprocess while allowing them to experience variables that are, inevitably, part of any designproject. While the electrical machinery lab instructor provided some basic design objectives,students needed to consider the ever-present constraints of time, cost, and manufacturingprocesses. In this respect, this design project gave students a much better experience than a statictextbook problem.While students would be

They then writeproposals of a research project they can complete in the final 12 weeks of the course. Theprofessor’s only restriction on topic has been that it has to use natural fibers in some fashion.While the professor’s personal research interest is in structural composites, the students havecome up with a number of creative applications that are not structural.Student responses to this experience have been very positive. These classes have resulted in twoconference publications, which is not common for purely undergraduate research. A thirdassessment is how many students are now motivated to go graduate school

Therefore, multiple newmachines including a Mendelmax and Prusa Mendel were built to utilize in the class. Since theSLA Viper machine was replaced with a Projet 1200, the old but comprehensive software tool of3D Lightyear had to be replaced with new tools used for both processing of the STL files andprinting. These new tools are easier to use but not as comprehensive as the old ones. Thus, a low-cost software

To accomplishthis, the following steps were taken: (1) Syllabi from 300 courses were analyzed to determinepotential for compatibility with IL instruction, (2) sequences of required courses for each of the10 undergraduate engineering programs were visualized to facilitate scaffolding of ILinstruction, (3) a list of discrete IL concepts and skills were derived from the ACRL Framework,(4) assignments were
