Given that three of the top four employers are automotive companies it isimperative that an understanding of FEA methods be included in the BS MechanicalEngineering Technology (MET) degree program curriculum.Students are first introduced to FEA early in their coursework during an introductoryComputer Technology Applications course, applications of FEA are reinforced in Staticsand Strengths of Materials course, and FEA software is again used in Product Design andDevelopment capstone course. The required courses typically use examples of tetrahedralmeshed 3D CAD models solving for structural load stress and deflections. In Statics

[1]. Today, manyfirst-year students typically have little hands-on experience related to engineering [2]. Manyhave never used common tools before and do not know how common devices, such as carengines, actually work. Stephen Belkoff, an engineering professor at Johns Hopkins, noted thelack of practical skills for incoming freshmen, “These are all A students, and it took two days tobuild a shelf from Home Depot and get it @$$-backwards” [3]. While they are generally verycomputer savvy, incoming freshmen have little experience with engineered equipment. Studentsdo get experience with equipment in a variety of labs and in their capstone projects during thecourse of their college careers, but neither of these may be with actual equipment used

Theproject required team leadership to choose and represent the challenge, some technology skill toproduce the video, and teamwork to complete the task as assigned. Written peer evaluations ofthe videos were conducted after each video was shown during a class period.

.2.6 CEE Capstone DesignHistorically, many infrastructure choices and designs have had disproportionately negativeimpacts on minority and low-income communities. Changes were implemented in the senior-level CEE capstone design course to prepare students to design equitable engineering solutionsthat consider the diversity of stakeholders. The project was developed with a community partnerorganization that was interested in an aquaponics facility that could provide the organizationwith an income stream that would allow them to be self-sustaining. This organization is locatedin an area of the city that has been neglected and serves a predominantly minority population. Itwas expected that students would be motivated by the opportunity to use their

Within their programs, GEES scholars engage in real-world projects,industry-based internships, and networking with professionals. This structure is designed toequip them not only with technical skills but also with the ability to navigate complexworkplace environments.GEES goes beyond classroom education by integrating co-curricular activities that fosterprofessional skills. For example, students participate in workshops on job search strategies,interview techniques, and negotiation skills, helping them navigate the professional worldwith confidence.

Undergraduate engineering programs all haveintended learning outcomes aimed at these practices, such as “an ability to design and conductexperiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data” and “an ability to design a system,component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints” [10]. As noted above,these practices are highly valued by employers, who note that recent college graduates often lackproficiency with these practices [11]. The ideal place to learn these practices is in the real world,making capstone projects, internships, and other activities that require students to work onauthentic problems highly valued experiences.

In Kinget al.'s study [40], BME students participated in capstone design projects where they worked inteams to design prototypes based on existing patent applications of industry professionals. Thesestudents were able to learn about the engineering design process as well as the business side ofintellectual property development such as patents, customer discovery, budgeting, andcommunication of results [40].In several studies on EM development within a BME context
