This paper presentsa unique Phasor Tool Box which facilitates most of the phasor calculations and enable visualizationin the phasor diagrams. The tool box is designed in MATLAB but requires students to have mini-mal scripting background, keeping in mind that these tools will be used by the beginner students inElectrical engineering/Technology programs. This tool box is designed by using object orientedMATLAB programming methods but are transparent to users. Using these tools is as easy as usingconventional algebra for adding, subtraction, multiplication, division of phasors, and additionallyvisualize these operations in the complex plane.

While the current connected capstone course was designed with the fourinvolved departments in mind, a future goal is to provide the opportunity for collaborationbetween or among any number of disciplines. One main anticipated project output is a model fora multi-disciplinary capstone course that can be implemented across related and unrelateddisciplines at higher education institutions.References:[1] B.

involved being able to iterate on a design—starting small, failing, and thenadjusting prototype ideas. The students recalled another engineering faculty member’s visit toclass and her suggestion to prototype using low cost materials (“get a cardboard box and putsome remote cars in there and see if people use it”) rather than giving the students a big budgetto start. They came back to this idea a few times; they want to fail and try again, but they alsowant a variety of projects.How do you describe the engineering design process?As faculty, we were mindful that the course was about engineering design and not tinkering or“making.” Although the students’ desire to “make” helped them engage in the course and the
, assessment methods related to these outcomes that rely onLikert-type responses or structured assignments may be susceptible to social desirability orpositive response bias. When prompted, students will normally agree that ethics are importantand can select the correct answer for simple ESI questions. But what do engineering andcomputing students quickly draw to mind in relation to ESI? To explore this, students were askedto respond to two open-ended survey questions: (1) How do you view your role in society as anengineer or computer scientist? (2) List the ethical issues that you think are relevant to engineersand/or computer scientists. It was of interest to determine if student responses would vary fromthe beginning to the end of a term or across
students. To meet the problems of tomorrow, civil engineers need to be creative, be able to think critically and have analytical thinking skills. …the ability to create/innovate -- to try to do what has not been done -- is at the heart of engineering, whether one is involved in practice or academia. From Day 1 of their formal education, the CE student should see the value of and learn how to have to develop a problem- solving and creative/innovation mind set. Consider a creativity/innovation outcome and/or a creativity/innovation thread throughout the rubric. Creativity and innovation is creating the technologies that underlie the infrastructure of tomorrow. There will be innovation in infrastructure, the question is how big of a

students to establishsuch a mental model using solid mechanics concepts is a reasonable approach, which may benefitstudents in their entire engineering career. As shown in Figure 6, fundamental concepts inmechanics can be completely separate in students’ mind before they have a firm understanding oftheir meaning. The M3E approach is expected to help students connect these abstract concepts anddevelop their mental model to represent a network of such complex concepts. A well-developedconcept map, externalization of the mental representation, will show the fundamentalunderstanding of these concepts. Once students have such capability, they can easily adapt it forother engineering applications. The effectiveness of the proposed M3E approach will be

cohort of secondary level math and science teachers,the research team concluded that more hands-on manipulatives would be required to support ahigher level of engagement necessary to bring IoT-based building automation and energymanagement into their classrooms. Specifically, the team agreed that having a buildingautomation and IoT house that could be used by the teachers would significantly improve andaccelerate the engineering concepts and processes. With this goal in mind, the team looked atseveral implementation paths to create such structures. The ESET, MMET and MXET programsused their Capstone Design Project students to design, implement and document prototypes ofthese structures. These included three different levels of capability and

They prepared two surveys, obtainedinstitutional approval, and distributed it throughout the United States. One survey was designedto query undergraduate students and the other
developing and evaluating alternatives. Similar toawareness, cognitive, situational and institutional factors may influence all of these activities.Intent and Action are generally not represented in more traditional rubrics for engineering ethics,but at the same time, play an important role in determining a course of ethical behavior. Intentrefers to the degree to which an individual is committed to a moral course of action and dependon an individual’s personal moral intuition, identify and affect. Action involves the ability totranslate awareness, judgement and intent into action. Again, the different cognitive, situationaland institutional factors described above may influence both a person’s intent and action.With these concepts in mind
