They then played a game to simulate the openmarket of allowances and see where emissions improvements were and were not made. Studentswere then asked what changes could be made to the game (and, by extension, to the Cap-and-Trade Policy) to encourage equity.The senior Capstone class experienced a broader inclusion of social justice in their classcurriculum. From the start of the quarter, students were told they would need to include a socialjustice analysis as part of their Capstone project report. This analysis was required to includemeans

Robotic design is currentlynot yet well represented in undergraduate academic programs.In order to prepare our computer engineering students for the robot design experience which canbe considered as a complex embedded systems design, we offer two courses on embeddedsystems. However, these two courses on embedded systems design are not enough to teach thestudents the skills that they need. In order to satisfy the ABET requirements students incomputer engineering program are required to take a capstone course. The projects that studentsdo in this capstone course are embedded projects.

. Capstone design is a culminating course offered toundergraduate students in which they collaborate to design, build, and test engineering solutionsfor real-world problems. The students enrolled in these courses must first solve the problems offorming teams and identifying a course project. This is especially challenging for one-semestercourses because students must form groups in less than a week. The challenge is furtherexacerbated for interdisciplinary capstone design courses. Students must form teams withindividuals studying different majors; in most cases, teammates have never previously met. Atthe end of the semester, teams display and pitch their inventions and marketability to a panel ofjudges, guests, media, and peers while competing for

University of Texas at Austin AbstractThe ABET accreditation criterion 5 requires a "culminating major engineering design experience"in the curriculum1. This is commonly referred to as the senior capstone design course. Thefreshman engineering education experience is loaded with required science and mathematicscourses, and there is little room for an engineering experience. Nonetheless, most faculty want tohave some engineering course during the freshman year, and many ideas have been tried over theyears. Of these many ideas, the concept of a team design project with hands-on activities seems tobe the most popular and most beneficial. This paper reports on such a proposed freshmanengineering cornerstone

programinitiated community based senior design projects [57]. The primary benefit was that studentsrecognized they could positively impact the lives of others. In addition, the projects engaged at-risk students.Because design is process oriented, it is a natural place to include ethics education [58]. McLeannotes that two aspects of the design process invite ethical considerations: identification of criteriaand constraints and questioning related to the product life-cycle. Ethics goes beyond concernsfor public safety to include consideration of environmental impacts and sustainability.AssessmentBecause senior capstone design classes synthesize knowledge from the entire curriculum, theypresent an ideal opportunity for program assessment.

The course includes lectures,videos, quizzes, and the final project. The goal of the final project is to dramatically reduce lifecycle costs through maintenance reductions, a priori failure identification and analysis, andsubsequent reliability and maintainability improvements. This paper introduces the FMEAprocess as described in SAE ARP5580, presents the FMEA method as completed in the course,and discusses FMEA changes that could be incorporated to improvements to the course.Keywords: standards, FMEA

This model was slightly modifiedbased on the lessons learned and learning outcomes reported by the participating EEP and ECESD teams. This model brought forth some keen observations and lessons, which the authorshave seen as the first step in forming a comprehensive multi-disciplinary design program. Thepreliminary impact of these steps is that 15 to 20% of the ECE SD program’s design projects aremulti-disciplinary (with 6 to 8 faculty members from several departments as mentors) and aregrowing. This growing multi-disciplinary collaboration has also brought in additional annualfunding. This paper shares the structure, phases

Students were given a homework assignment thatincluded evaluating their capstone projects with our draft rubric.
