Among the multiple ways used to cultivatecreativity, arts integration might be one of the most underappreciated ways.Based on the conclusions of this paper, we suggest that we should attach importanceto arts education. Some reports at both the K-12 [21] and professional levels [22] haveshown that integrating arts and science/engineering could have unexpected effects.Some colleges such as Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology have even steppedfurther to explore a new combination of arts and engineering, in which the course wasprovided from an art perspective with examples of engineering pulled in to reinforcetopics in art, rather than creating an engineering course with examples of art pulled in.This course engaged students in the

a few steps ofprogramming. For example, a Proportional Integral and Derivative (PID) controller can bedesigned, tuned and demonstrated to students in a few steps. This tool can be used to modelan electromechanical device such a servomotor system that consists of a servomotor, a servodrive, an encoder, a gearbox, and a load. The virtual model setup in turn would carry the wholeconcept through graphical demonstrations including timing. Furthermore, this software toolcan communicate with simple real world hardware such as a switch and a light bulb to a verycomplicated hardware like a hydrocarbon based fuel reformer.

Very important differences (occurrence and quality) concerning argumentationamong individual students from the same semester were detected by means of qualitative dataanalyses, mainly with regards to adequacy of premises, organization of arguments, and quality ofclaims. Our results validate that argumentation is an essential skill in learning to solve studied Page 26.234.2food engineering problems as well as a powerful method for assessing problem-solving abilityfor both ill-structured and well

The Page 5.135.4major advantage of multiple projects in one course is the ability to integrate many aspects ofengineering together. With single project courses, some aspects of engineering may be integratedbut with multiple design projects there are more opportunities to integrate more engineeringaspects together. There are two major disadvantages of a multi-project design course. Five weeks onaverage per project is a very tight time schedule to do design. Therefore, the projects must bevery limited in

Thismodule provides students the hands-on skill set needed to create functional mechanicalengineering prototypes that move as they do not learn it elsewhere in the curriculum. Interestingly, students report enhanced course enjoyment fostered by the opportunity tolearn new skills. So, it is positive that they do learn these skills somewhere in the curriculum andthrough hands-on application in Capstone rather than a pure theory-based exposure. It is, however,worrisome that they are having these experiences for the first time in Capstone rather than learningin a prerequisite course, bringing those skills into Capstone, and using the

By equipping graduates with a morecomprehensive skill set and deeper understanding of the field, it is hypothesized that they will bebetter positioned to secure higher-paying jobs and contribute more effectively to the economy.Moreover, to gain exposure to modern technologies used in the industry, students need to gettrained with the latest tools and techniques. An extension of the degree program allows thestudents to delve deeper into these modern technologies and gain hands-on experience thatdirectly aligns with industry requirements. To achieve this goal, the addition of specializedcourses and internships into the curriculum will ensure that graduates are well-prepared to enterthe workforce and excel in their
