With agoal in mind, the students were able to work towards the end goal through systems engineeringprocess while gaining valuable hands-on experience with real world engineering application (i.e.,how to orient a spacecraft). During the experience, SSG conducted formative assessments bymentoring the design and development of the experiment as well as individual team members’progress. In addition, a performance-based summative assessment of the students showed thatthe in-flight demonstration was a

project itself and the research team were multidisciplinary in nature. Theteam was composed of an undergraduate student, midway through a general engineering programwith a concentration in mechanical engineering, and a professor in electrical engineering. Theproject was a second-stage of development for an idea originally developed for a Senior Capstoneproject. The research group for the capstone project consisted of four students of variousengineering concentrations, who ultimately presented their work at a regional conference6.With the above context in mind, the instructor set out to design a research experience that wouldbe challenging and rewarding for the student. In the continuum of process vs product-orientedundergraduate research, the

Indeed, the study of feedback controlsystems (sometimes also referred to as "automatic control systems, "control engineering", orsimply "control systems") is often referred to as a "stealth science," due to its widespreadprevalence in a behind-the-scenes role of how engineering systems and devices may work.Although many readers are probably familiar with many of the concepts that will be discussed inthis section, we nevertheless wish to provide a simple conceptual base so as to 1. remind thereader of basic terms and definitions that we will continue to use throughout the paper and 2.serve as a conceptual foundation for the more complex models discussed in subsequent sections.With this in mind, let us

The initial goal was for the Nursing departmentto provide a simulated experience in mass casualty treatments for their students. As the Nursingstaff proceeded to plan for the event they came to the point where they asked for help from otherareas to support their activities.

Multidisciplinary Term Project in Low Level CoursesAbstractCurrent engineering students need to be equipped with a wider knowledge base in terms ofenvironmental, economic, and social attributes of engineered systems, work, and materials.Sustainability is a perspective that can be introduced in early classes and not only as a technicaltopic in upper level classes. Lower level sustainability courses can be related to the knowledgegained in the required math, science, humanities, and social sciences through “mind mapping.”This paper presents a comprehensive term project entitled “Greening the Engineering Building”that was utilized to simulate sophomore civil engineering students’ interest in green buildingsthrough the development of a sustainable alternative

In the summer of 2014, it was decided todo an evaluation of the situation and either terminate this collaborative effort orsignificantly change the approach.The Evaluation and FindingsIn our 2014 ASEE paper it was stated that to some individuals a “cultural chasm” appearsto exist between the academic world and the professional engineering environment, inthat often employers that hire recent engineering college graduates perceive that thosegraduates have not been properly prepared for the engineering profession. With thisthought in mind, it was decided to investigate whether we were mitigating or contributingto this phenomenon in the capstone projects – which are intended to emulate
sustainability in civil engineering, which are often broader and more holistic than the technicaland physics based content typically found in engineering.T and J personality types demonstrated smaller increases in Interest Rating Scores forsustainability. It is possible that their tough-minded, analytical nature was not as affected by thebroader, conceptual discussions about sustainability. F and P personality type preferences areless common in civil engineering and this larger increase in Interest Rating Score forsustainability indicates that sustainability may be a viable way to attract atypical engineeringpersonality types into civil engineering.There was little or no increase in Interest Score for Civil Engineering for all personality types,however
