student-centred learning and project-based learning. He hopes to contribute to the transformation of engineering education so that students are well- equipped to face the challenges of the future in engineering, and can build core engineering competencies in a more self-motivated and confident manner in a diverse and inclusive learning environment. Dr Yu’s academic research interests and expertise focus on using an integrated design approach that in- volves the synthesis of material selection, finite element methods, rapid prototyping/additive manufactur- ing, and machine learning to improve the mechanical properties of hybrids materials (fibre composites, metal/metal hybrids, and cellular lattices) and biomedical

The study developed a control system that used various loopsto control fuel cell current, charge current of battery, SOC of battery, input current, and busvoltage. The feasibility of the study’s control system and voltage bus performance was proven bycreating a simulation model in PSIM software. The capstone group intends to model the batterymanagement system and the active control system through Simulink. This study gave oneapproach to how a power switching system for a FCHEV could be controlled [7]. A conceptfrom this approach that could be used for the FCHEV capstone project is to break

As expected,for the 1st and 4th year courses (Intro to Engineering and Capstone respectively), the vastmajority of students stated the design process was taught and they applied the design process inthat course. More surprisingly, a majority of students from Statics and Linear Systems alsostated that the design process was formally taught in the course despite both courses focusingsolely on modeling and analysis. Additionally, the Statics and Linear Systems students alsostarted that they had applied the design process on at least one assignment or project. In Statics,no formal design problem or assignment was given, and in Linear Systems a group designproject was

Traditional classroom teaching is often based on lecturing and examinations; therefore, theymight lack going beyond teaching students technical and discipline-specific skills.On the other hand, student competitions go beyond and offer students soft skills, which are thekey to successful experiential learning [6]. In engineering education, senior capstone projectshave become typical venues for teaching soft skills as well; however, these are often still limitedwith class-time and curriculum expectations [7]. Capstone projects, by nature, are towards theend of students’ educational careers, and therefore, students may not have time to practice thesoft skills they just have exposure.

Many engineering programs now require first year design experiences, aswell as senior capstone projects. Between those early and late design courses, there can be a“desert of design” -- many dense analytical courses with few structured opportunities for team-based design work. Institutions that manage to build in design across the curriculum have beenhighlighted as groundbreaking (e.g. [2]). To avoid the problem of encapsulation, or only seeingwhat they learn as relevant within a specific course [3], it is important to provide students avariety of contexts where they can apply their design skills.
