Management of Manufacturing andService Processes.The graduation project is supervised by a faculty member of the IE Department, and may befocused on either solving an engineering problem or contributing to a research project. Veryfrequently, engineering problems correspond to real life needs of Colombian companies. Thecompany involved supports the project by assigning an engineer who acts as a co-supervisor ofthe project. Graduation projects are developed through the courses 05174 – Graduation Project Iand 05175 – Graduation Project II, which are capstone projects focused on the development ofprofessional skills such as project management, problem solving, and communication. The co-opexperience is a professional internship that must last no less

There is no significant difference in importance and satisfaction between male andfemale students of High School and University students.Literature ReviewEngineering design is a critical element of engineering education and a competency thatstudents need to acquire1. Previous investigations have shown that students engaged intechnological project learning achieve higher grades than those taught using traditionallab experimentation2. The students involved in these projects demonstrated a strongpositive correlation between learning principles and their applications and achievedhigher grades. In the capstone design course, students were required to design anddevelop a product from concept to
professional goals.8 As a result of this initiative, engineeringfaculty recognized the value of portfolios for assessing student skills. In this application,portfolio development was initially used as the basis of a term-long capstone project in the majorbefore the concept was moved to become a sophomore level course. The components of anindividual portfolio included a biography, statement of employment objectives, downloadablerésumé, summary of technical skills, and documentation of projects that demonstrated theapplication of technical skills (and explanations of how the project demonstrates proficiency inspecific skills). In addition to helping students compete for jobs, university-archived electronicportfolios were also proposed by Jwaifell as a

isclear that the need to integrate BIM exists. However, the appropriate curricular location has notbeen decided. Some have suggested that BIM be part of a first level undergraduate course whileother schools have placed it as a capstone project in their course sequence 13. In a case studyusing the capstone project to integrate BIM, many students had to learn the software alone.

Mostof the students that worked with BIM as part of the project are using BIM in their currentconstruction jobs.

creates a variety of logistical problems.Monitoring the teams is difficult and problems are easier to hide. Also the initial versions of thecourse were technical electives; they did not satisfy major capstone degree requirement. Everystudent was in the class because they were really interested in the material. Now I have studentswho enroll only to meet their senior design requirement.Despite the problems and frustrations, I enjoy teaching this course and consider it one of themost important experiences our students have. Most seem to agree. The great projects make it allworthwhile, and the good ones are fine too.References 1. Carlson, L.E. and Sullivan, J.F.

senior design projects, which we anticipatedwould comprise much of the discussion for the actual study since our study participants were inthe process of completing their capstone courses. Additionally, only a few students in the pilotstudy had experienced in-depth internships in their fields. Participants in the study, bycomparison, had completed their senior projects for their capstone courses and where preparingto graduate. Furthermore, all had undergone experiential learning in their chosen professions,either during internships or their capstone courses, which by design engage industryprofessionals for feedback.Nevertheless, the pilot study served as a trial run for our protocol and questions and to gauge ifthe hour allotted for the

A physical model of a design concept, based on simplifying assumptions (whichchange as the project progresses and one learns better what effects matter more than others), iscreated. This is an approximation of the real system and a hierarchy of models is possibledepending on the reason for modeling (see Figure 2). Laws of nature (e.g., Newton’s Laws,Maxwell’s Equations) are applied to the model, along with component model equations, togenerate the equations of motion for the multidisciplinary engineering system. These equations– nonlinear and coupled – are solved with Simulink, SimMechanics, SimHydraulics, LabVIEW,etc. to predict how the model will behave when various inputs – desired and

Academy seeks to educate and inspire their civil engineering studentsthrough a rigorous and realistic academic program. One of the cornerstone courses in theprogram is a Construction Management Course that incorporates a variety of hands-on, real-world, learning challenges. The objective of the first third of the course is for the students togain a foundational understanding of the basics of construction management to include projectbidding, contract mechanisms, scheduling, estimating, and project controls. The topics arepresented in a traditional classroom environment. The students are then challenged in the nextthird of the course to apply those construction management skills in a hands-on constructionsimulation exercise identified as the

It was inspired by a round tablediscussion, where engineering graduates of Region’s colleges have suggested ways to startdeveloping viable and enduring connections between local industries and the academicinstitutions of the Arab Gulf States. Strategies to help promote the collaboration effort areoutlined. In particular, activities (plans, and scenarios) perceived as effective in closing the gapbetween academia and industries are described.

Oneof the elements of participation involves redesigning the capstone senior design curriculum tomake it more innovation and entrepreneurship oriented and as such have a positive impact onstudent satisfaction. This paper details the expectations of students beginning a two-coursesequence in the capstone curriculum. The student survey data led to a rebalancing of the curriculumto one that was solely based on “how-to-do” senior design projects to one that still includes “how-to-do" lecture themes but now includes lecture themes in innovation and entrepreneurship

In our first year course, we intentionally lay the foundation for thedevelopment of an entrepreneurial mindset within the context of traditional project-based designexperiences. In addition, engineering programs have traditionally incorporated a capstone designproject during the senior year and this
imperative that we recognize the internalization ofthe principles of engineering design as a career sustaining competency.Accordingly, we have piloted a pre-capstone course called Principles ofEngineering Design. In this course we aim to empower the students to internalizethe principles of engineering design, learn through doing (reading, designing,building, testing, and post-project analysis), learn to frame, postulate, andimplement a plan of action for their Spring 2016 Capstone projects, and transitionfrom being a student to a junior engineer in a company. In this course through ascaffolded set of assignments and activities, we provide an opportunity forstudents to internalize the principles of engineering design. In Fall 2015 we
formulate, solve, and properly tacklemultidisciplinary problems.Particularly, this paper addresses the effectiveness of combined virtual and physical hands-onactivities in students’ learning which was infused in the capstone senior design project. Seniordesign projects are open-ended and are similar to the research that scientists perform toward amore comprehensive understanding of nature or new scientific knowledge. As a reinforcedlearning methodology to greatly assist students’ reasoning and problem-solving skills, virtuallearning was first integrated at the planning stage of their projects. This approach is in contrastwith the typical senior design courses where only limited resources are available for planningexperiments. Using virtual learning

Some regular lab exercises like Lab 6 or Lab 7 might be a two-week project. Students will apply the knowledge they acquired from regular lab projects to thefinal project. The final project meant to be an open-end project. Interested students might chooseto continue their final project after finishing this course and use it as a senior capstone project topicin their senior year. The undergraduate students participating in this curriculum project chose toinvestigate the co-existence of a FM radio station and a digital communication

It was very simple to just double clickon the part and edit the settings by double clicking.Thus the recommendation is to continue using the PSoC 5LP board in future class projects.
