My feeling is that uncertainty is best introduced in courses that come before the capstone design course and then students use it, if needed, in their design project.” • R4.2.1.3: “Students should have already been exposed to it as part of a sequence of courses on measurements - probably a better fit than in my machine elements course.” • R4.2.1.4: “We have 3 courses in design.

Compare to traditionalelectrical engineering students, the lack of hands-on lab experience becomes more apparentwhen students are working on capstone senior projects.One strategy we used to solve this issue was to include a mixed capstone project groupcomprising of computer, electronic, and biomedical engineering students. This strategy workedfor few groups but the success rate was less than thirty five percent due to the students’ lack ofpreparation and disadvantage of knowledge compared to traditional electrical engineeringstudents.To rectify this situation we proposed and developed this

One approach has been toform “symbiotic” partnership between industry and academia through senior capstone projects. Page 24.948.2The capstone course has evolved over the years from “made up” projects devised by faculty toindustry-sponsored projects where companies provide “real” problems, along with expertise andfinancial support. In fact, design courses, in general, have emerged as a means for students to beexposed to some flavor of what engineers actually do; and also, could learn the basic elements

For example, activities in the summer program have extended to coursecollaborations during the academic year. Senior-level (i.e., “capstone”) design teams from thethree principal universities have collaborated on projects during the academic year. These joint-projects face all the challenges of typical capstone projects with the additional logistical andcultural issues of international collaboration. They are an excellent opportunity for our students.The institutions have also benefitted from first-hand experience with new programs.

Although thedesign was robust in most of the Capstone Projects but these four aspects were lacking. Afterconsulting the ABET reviewer who agreed in advance that if these four issues were addressed bythe industrial personnel, the weakness may be taken care of. It is because of this reason that welaunched a course 16.400 Engineering Topics which is being offered under my supervision bythe industrial giants of our region, where all these 4 aspects are being addressed along with theState-of-The-Art-Designs in their industries.

– concept generation through volume production in less than three hours1. AbstractDesign for manufacturability (DFM) is the practice of engineering products such that they aremore easily produced in volume. DFM is traditionally taught by lecture and students aresubsequently encouraged to utilize the underlying concepts in their engineering design coursesand capstone project. One of the problems with this approach is that the design is rarely taken tovolume production, giving students little chance to see firsthand the benefits of employing DFMin their work. To address this, we have developed an in-class activity which allows studentteams to design a widget and take it to volume production all within the span of a single three-hour
