Course deliverables includewritten reports with detailed design data and analysis, group and individual presentations, andone or more working, physical product prototypes. Projects are also used to introduce enterprisesoft skills, including various levels of communication, teamwork, professionalism, andrecognizing ethical values. The sequence is finalized by a senior level capstone “Senior Design”course that requires student participation in interdisciplinary teams to bring a product fromconceptual design through manufacture. Activities include detail design, material selection, costestimation, process planning, schedule

This is done by planning a feasibleproject with a community-based organization, having both beginning and senior level engineeringstudents engage in it over a period of one to two semesters.The paper discusses an effective approach on how to integrate learning in a reverse hierarchicalmanner. It also presents measures to evaluate both successes and failures of this approach. Theprojected longevity of the approach, tackling various projects, is integrated into the study. The twoCECM faculty members also discuss the viability of transferring this approach to other universitiesand engineering colleges.INTRODUCTIONA

Along with the transport course, the potentialwould exist for students to complete their capstone design project by continuing their work onthe evaporator. For the syrup-making program, the main benefit would be an evaporator withimproved efficiency and/or safety, making the syrup production process easier and more flexible.They would also gain some insight into how the engineering field views the world, andpotentially increase their technical and scientific literacy.

The level 1 is for freshman engineering students. Many schools now have an “introductionto engineering’’ course for the new engineering students. It is usually a project-oriented courseto introduce the basic engineering concepts and practices. The level 2 corresponds to the first digital system course in the curriculum, which covers thecombinational circuits, sequential circuits, and FSM 17.

, 2017 Teams and Team Building at Baylor University: Why Should We Do This and Where Should This Occur in the Curriculum?AbstractExperience with teams is a desirable outcome with employers. Academic programs often havestudent teams accomplish course, design, and lab projects starting with the freshmen introductorycourses and culminating with capstone senior design. Where do students learn about teams in thecurriculum? How do they learn to be good team members? It seems the most pervasive approachto teams in higher education is a “sink or swim” attitude where teams are allowed to form on theirown and work out any issues that arise. Little, if any, formal instruction on being a team memberis given throughout the curriculum. Even less

Despite their successes, an area that theengineering education community has yet to fully develop is the reflection component of service-learning.”3 We have made a conscious choice to keep the project housed outside the bounds of a forcredit course due to student feedback which will be specifically discussed in the results section.RESULTS The exhibits that have been created over the years have varied greatly in design and have grown in depthand complexity over that

It is not alwaysthe case that students were not exposed to the necessary concepts in previous courses, but ratherthey that were not asked to apply these skills in project settings. In the past, instructors (andemployers) have relied on just-in-time learning to fill in the conceptual gaps students have whenthey begin project work.Several engineering educators regard experiential learning as the best way to train the nextgeneration of engineers. This requires engineering programs to go beyond offering industry-based capstone courses and internships. It is our belief that introducing active learningopportunities prior to the
