and 3hregarding the development of ethical responsibility in engineering students. The purpose of thepresent project is to use the learning and analytical capabilities of IBM Watson NaturalLanguage Classifier to analyze capstone papers submitted by undergraduates in a course onengineering ethics. The capstone papers that we analyzed required students to identify anddiscuss a contemporary engineering technology (e.g., autonomous tractor trailers) and toexplicitly discuss the ethical issues involved. In the two tests described here we assessed whetherWatson-NLC could classify sentences from students’ papers as either related to ethics or notrelated to ethics. Additionally, we consider the utility of these simple machine-basedclassifications

In the course, AME4163: Principles of Engineering Design, we leverageexperiential learning to enable students to internalize the Principles of Engineering Design(POED) and to transition from students to Junior Engineers, who we distinguish from studentsby their ability to identify new principles to suit their needs. From a research standpoint, we areprimarily concerned with improving assessment of student learning in design, build, and testcourses. We assert that

It is anticipated thatstudent involvement with the second year IDP will better prepare them for their capstone projectin their fourth year.The IDP was expected to further illustrate the value of teamwork and provide students with theexperience of working with others. The intent of this collaboration was to encourage students toshare ideas and build off each other’s thoughts to create an optimal design. Finally, group workallowed for the students to gain time management experience in setting and meeting deadlines,which must be completed both individually and by the group as a whole.4.0

ABET StudentOutcome (c) specifically refers to, “an ability to design a system, component or process to meetdesired needs…”.Another recent trend in engineering education has been towards an emphasis on experiential,hands-on learning. It is recognized that the practice of engineering requires a mix of skills, manyof which are best learned through experience. In engineering education, this experientiallearning most often takes place in capstone projects and industry internships. It is much lesscommon for core engineering courses like Design of Machine Elements to incorporate a project-based, experiential component. There are machine design courses that contain hands-onlaboratory modules, however these modules tend to

The benefits of integrating the MCUtools in the DSP course are very promising. It permits more practical DSP laboratories and DSP-based capstone projects that render richer design experiences and makes meeting realistic designconstraints feasible. Furthermore, it provides an integrated laboratory curriculum structurebetween embedded microcontroller and DSP courses which reduces students’ unnecessary effortof learning new tools in different courses.
