Being exposed to real projects and brainstorming society’s current challenges providestudents with a broader perspective related to the social-environment aspect of the application ofthe basic concepts they learn.1Currently, most institutions use a pedagogical philosophy of creating a bookend curriculum thatimplements project-based courses at the beginning and end of the undergraduate engineeringcurriculum.

They are also intended toserve as ‘platforms’ for the relevant material in the course itself. Indeed, these types of activitiesare part of the ABET EAC Criteria 3 and 51, and the projects are found in many sophomore- andjunior-level engineering courses.Inclusion of such a design project in our junior-level vibrations course has been the norm formany years. The duration of the project is on the order of one month, and typically carries thesame percentage (e.g. 10%) of the total course grade as the entire set of homework assignments

4. Reasons cited for not participating in SAE student activities.When asked to provide ideas on how to increase student participation in Kettering SAEactivities, these alumni offered the following advice: 1. Offer course capstone credit for participation in the competition projects. For many students receiving credit for the time spent to develop the project vehicles could be justified, if they received course credit for their effort. It would in effect allow them to ‘double-dip’ on their time commitments. Said one student, “Is it possible to get some minimal credits for fulfilling tasks as part of the team?? Linking activities to some sort of educational credit would allow a higher priority.” 2. Integrate SAE
