simple CCD cameras with LED lighting, are rich in data that studentscan harvest using basic image analysis techniques provided by software such asMATLAB or ImageJ. These experiments are low in cost, and can be easilydisseminated and supported by web-based resources. They are part of a largereffort whereby surface analysis tools for characterizing reflection, roughness, andcleanliness, are used as educational laboratories and projects in greenmanufacturing, image analysis, and quality assurance.References 1.

Two types ofdata have shaped the lessons learned: formal focus groups conducted with each class of seniordesign students, and informal feedback from well-meaning alumni. The interesting conclusion isthat the very features seniors tend to complain about – design, writing and oral presentation – arethe ones alumni report as the most valuable.1.0 IntroductionCapstone courses in American higher education are thought to date back to the 1850’s, whencolleges like

Another interpretation of this finding suggests that ethics in these teams was directed byand linked to a human-centered orientation. Many students were not able to expand thisorientation beyond overt or clear links between their everyday work and the specific humanstakeholders involved. This finding supports Zoltowski et al.’s (2012) discussion of theimportance of critical experiences in aiding students’ experiences of HCD. Critical experiencesmay include meetings with users or other events that students found transformative to theirthinking about the stakeholders and their user’s experiences.

Create appropriate mates between partsMASTER MODEL METHODThe core idea behind the master model method [8, 9] is to create all the assembly parts in one part file (master or parent part) and thenspin them off (split them) into multiple child parts. As a result, the master model method creates a parent/child relationship moreeffectively in 3D modeling. For example, when the CAD designer makes changes in the parent part, the changes are automaticallyapplied to the child part. In general, it enables the designer to make changes in assembly easily. For more complex assembly it alsoallows user to understand all the clearance
