Because the Friends are a current leader in the design of securedonation boxes, the proposed student designs have real opportunity to become a standard in thepark system.Design of the pilot capstone course was completed by three faculty members with the intention toachieve two major goals: (1) develop a COE-wide capstone experience capable of replication inthe future and (2) design a course easily integrated across departments within the existing confinesof the curriculum of each program.

Taking advantage of this situation, a local developer designed a subdivision adjacent to an active dairy farm where the residents of the subdivision could use part of the farm for gardening and could purchase milk and produce from the farmer.Ten first-year first-semester students who enrolled in this FYOS course were asked to use thiscase study and develop hypothetical Farming Subdivision. The Farming Subdivision was to bea large single-family housing community where the residents became the actual owners andoperators of a farming operation. The

Thermodynamics is perhaps the most highlystructured subjects among all engineering courses. It is based on a number of definitions andbasic concepts, such as the definitions of open or closed systems, and the understanding of thedifferences between intensive and extensive properties. Any new topic in thermodynamicscontinuously builds on knowledge gained in previous topics. Students who lack theunderstanding of the basic concepts will have difficulty grasping new materials as moreadvanced topics are introduced in thermodynamics.When the

Our work involves breaking curricular com-plexity into two components: (1) the structural complexity, which is determined by the manner inwhich the courses in a curriculum are organized, e.g., prerequisites, number of courses, etc., and(2) the instructional complexity, which is determined by the inherent difficulty of the courses inthe curriculum, the quality of the faculty and academic support, etc. We then demonstrate howthese measures can be used within a simulation environment to estimate the impact that particularcurricular improvements will have on student outcomes.
