prepare them forreal-world industry experience, or perhaps for engineering Capstone programs. Indeed, recentresearch makes this argument, that college engineering Capstone programs would be even moresuccessful if students were exposed to project-based learning earlier in their schooling.18Despite the ambiguity that often occurs in open-ended, project-based assignments, we learnedfrom students and our reflections that instructors should do the following to minimizeambiguities: • Provide a clear time-line of expected deliverables and due dates. • Provide grading criteria up front. • Make available numerous examples of each deliverable. • And provide regular, substantive feedback throughout the process

students such as workshops,courses, and projects, design innovation may not be the focus since students do not have awareness ofbasic concepts. We have discovered that students need explicit reasoning as to why it is less efficientto design using a particular method. Therefore, for principles similar to those already proposed4 to beefficient, it is first crucial to provide an explanation to students about why other methods areineffective. It is essential to recognize that inexperienced designers will be impacted more as opposedto experienced designers, hence the authors propose to implement design concepts in introductoryengineering courses as well as Engineering Design I, prior to a final capstone course such asEngineering Design II.There are

Open-source firmware (DD-WRT) wasloaded on the routers to access the RSSI level versus position. National Instruments LabVIEWsoftware controlled two stepper motors for elevation and azimuth orientation of the AUT.The senior project obtained coarse pattern measurements of a test antenna, however difficultiesmentioned in the original article reappeared with the WSU recreation of the P&M prototype.Challenges encountered with the 1st prototype included a) motor control hardware allowed onedirection of travel, b) a homemade belt

All those topics are important andapplicable in the two-semester Capstone course in senior design project that the students arerequired to take, not to mention any future projects they may work on as professional engineers.As such, it is recommended that junior-level students take the Measurements andInstrumentation course before the Capstone project. In practice, however, a number of studentstake them concurrently.The Measurements and Instrumentation course is offered only in the spring semester, and is a 3-unit course consisting of two 1-hour lectures and one 3-hour lab session per week.

These types of projects provideopportunities for student/company as well as faculty/company interactions and additionally involveindustrial professional staff with the educational process.In recent years the author has developed student project activities with industry in senior designcourses. These projects have been very successful in building positive relationships with numerouscompanies. For example, the capstone course, SYSTEMS DESIGN, requires that each student teamstart with a general design problem suggested by a company. The team then carries the projectthrough the Problem Definition, Conceptual Design, Embodiment Design, and Detail Design phases. During the embodiment phase

common for engineering courses to contain team-based projects ranging fromfirst-year Introduction to Engineering courses to Senior Design/Capstone courses. However,students’ experiences in teams vary greatly and when un-facilitated within large courses,students may have negative experiences which impact their future learning. To overcome thisissue, a new course: Applications in Project Management in Biomedical Engineering wasdeveloped at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. This course is student-led where upper-class students serve as project managers (PMs) to first-year student teams in Introduction toBiomedical Engineering who are conducting semester long design projects. The upper-classstudents learn about a promising career in

The senior design project can serve as an excellentculminating experience in the program of study when it focuses on research and design projectsthat have practical value to consumers or to industry. For the Engineering Technology Departmentat Drexel University, the senior design course is a year-long educational journey (three quarters)that takes an idea generated by a student or an industrial sponsor and culminates in a product orproject. This course is an excellent capstone experience, which requires both teamwork andindividual skills in

Native American Engineering StudentsABSTRACTEngineering students have limited opportunities for experiential learning, especially at TribalColleges and Universities, where engineering programs tend to be small, and resources areextremely limited. Typically, the first and senior years of a student's engineering educationjourney are infused with hands-on projects and capstone courses. However, the sophomore andjunior years generally need more opportunities for active learning, gaining professional skills,and developing a sense of professional practice. Also, scholars have increasingly realized thatarts subjects help students understand connections between different disciplines from acomprehensive perspective.This study highlights findings from

number of projects fall within the “sensors anddevices” area. Additionally, biomedical instrumentation has been an area of study for so long(e.g., when compared to a relatively new area such as tissue engineering) that a greater relativeweight in terms of the number of educational sensors and devices efforts is not surprising.Target students range in age from high school students (e.g., who attended summercourses/camps) up to seniors in college engaged in capstone design efforts. A large number ofpapers cited in the literature review were geared toward sophomore-to-senior-level students,whereas fewer were aimed at freshmen and high school students.

The major project for the course involvedteams of 3-4 students working to design one of two civil engineering challenges: either a 20-footcantilevered wooden bridge or a 25-foot diameter wooden tripod. There were two fundamentalpurposes to the course: students were to learn more about their specific discipline so as toestablish realistic goals and motivations for their education and career, and students were tocomplete a major project in order to develop teamwork skills, integrate into the program, andbuild confidence in their ability to overcome intimidating challenges.

Although students’ ability to utilize COMSOL Multiphysics® (referred toas “COMSOL” throughout this text) for the final design would only be commensurate with theirlevel of proficiency, understanding the capabilities of software packages in the specific projectenvironment can better prepare them for future capstone projects, research experiences, andengineering practice

This type of experience isdrastically different from secondary education and should not be a single experience duringundergrad (most commonly a fourth year design project/capstone project). The advantage ofengineering case studies is that they provide a similar experience as a capstone project and areable to engage students in design thinking on a topic-by-topic basis21. The goal is to have thesetypes of initiatives throughout the entire program; however, since the students struggled so muchwith open-ended problems
