The workspace is basically a clean neat room with tables, chairs, computers and atelephone line.It is up to the City Hall to advertise the service “The Innovative Office” to the local community.The university is responsible for providing the students and the necessary laboratories. In case alaboratory is used, a fee is charged to the consultant to cover basic material and energy. There isanother professor in charge of mentoring the students’ team for a determined period as volunteerwork, in order to help refining their proposed projects to their clients.The next step is to have students working in teams at the offices, available to receive

An initial reading of TF-3’s original “1-6”Criterion 3 student learning outcomes that the task force put forward as an alternative to “a-k” reveals thefollowing commitments:11 A strong linear model of applied science A tendency to view engineering as an experimental, laboratory-based discipline.

The key question he is investigating is what are the principles underlying rapid and robust concept exploration when the analysis models are incomplete and possibly inaccurate? His quest for answers to the key question are anchored in three projects, namely, Integrated Realization of Robust, Resilient and Flexible Networks Integrated Realization of Engineered Materials and Products Managing Organized and Disorganized Complexity: Exploration of the Solution Space His current education focus is on creating and implementing, in partnership with industry, a curriculum for

This was done in the hope of avoiding any complexdesign for which building a model in the simulation software would be too challenging oroutright impossible – for example in FEHT it is possible to solve a problem which can be easilybuilt using Cartesian coordinate system or axi-symmetric geometry in cylindrical coordinatesystem. However, a mixture of two, for example, a rectangular prism envelope with cylindricalobject inside would not be easily modeled as the software package is not versatile enough likecommercial CAD or FEA packages.

these administrative decisions is a novel contribution to literature onthis subject.Student Creativity and Portfolio FlexibilityOnce a student meets the minimum demonstration of an outcome using the pre-mappedoutcomes, the digital nature of the LiveText graduation portfolio allows for creativity indemonstrating outcomes. For example, a video of conducting a laboratory process or giving anoral presentation could be used as direct evidence of meeting a student learning outcomes in theprogram. As the use of LiveText portfolios enters its second year, we are starting to see suchnon-traditional demonstration of outcomes supplementing the minimum demonstrations expectedfor the portfolio.The LiveText system also lets the student share particular files
those they will find aftergraduation.Project based learning in one form or another has been around for many years. In 1959, JohnDewey came out with one of the first formal articles discussing project-based learning. In it heexplained how he taught students in his laboratory through a process of inquiry, where he gavethem real-world scenarios and problems to solve. When the students felt engaged and invested ina real, legitimate project, Dewey observed that the students gained greater understanding of thematerial3. Today it is commonly accepted that project based learning environments possess fivemain components: a driving question, exploration of the driving question through authentic,situated inquiry, a community of collaboration that includes

Due to the timeconstraint in one quarter, seven (7) important AC and DC laboratory assignments pertaining toelectric machines are selected in one required course. Using MATLAB enables the in-depthteaching of these topics during the ten-week quarter period. MATLAB was used as a tool thatmade it possible to teach important electromechanical topics in electrical engineeringcurriculums, during a limited time, in one quarter or one semester.Use in Additional CoursesAt EWU the Mechanical Engineering (ME) students take a course in Engineering NumericalMethods while both the ME and Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) students take acourse in Industrial Robotics.
