To promote and encouragemultidisciplinary projects, the School of Science, Engineering, and Technology at Penn StateHarrisburg has developed a model that facilitates the formation of teams to work on industry-sponsored capstone projects. These projects offer students invaluable educational benefits andhelp in preparing them for their future careers. This paper provides details about our approach toseek industry-sponsored projects and the process we follow to

It is a portable,inexpensive, but highly useful hardware platform, which recreated a classroom or laboratoryenvironment e.g. at home. When coupled with the Mobile Studio Desktop software, the systemduplicated a large amount of the hardware often used to teach electrical engineering, computerengineering, physics and K-12 technology-oriented courses.There was a lot of refinement of the project through pilot studies and subsequent results showedthat the use of personal electronic instruments increases the level of student engagement andmotivation [2], [3].

figures come to speak to faculty was an ineffective approachThe leadership team believed that bringing in experts on issues of incorporating social content tocontextualize technical engineering content (e.g., issues of social justice in engineering) wouldadd legitimacy to their changemaking effort in the eyes of the faculty. These experts came frombackgrounds such as History, Science and Technology Studies, and an NSF officer associatedwith changemaking in engineering efforts. However, bringing in these guest authorities wasimplemented through workshops which had low faculty turnout. Within their interviews, facultydid not mention the workshops and the leadership team postulated that even with an engineeringbackground, these authorities were not

A “KEEN” team project was given to the students in which they were asked to pretend that they were members of a startup company that would design, build, test, market, and sell a product with some dynamics content to it. As part of the exercise, the 20 teams worked on idea generation, concept development and identification of required activities, in addition to writing a draft Business Plan. Product ideas varied across different economic sectors including power generation, sports technology, transportation, food and beverage technology, and health care.
