proposed future work plan consists of two parts: a short-term part that Page 24.935.15will be available the next time the course is offered to students and a long-term part that dependson the available industrial support. The short-term future work plan includes: 1- In regards to the students’ preference to have additional challenging problems with extra credits, a final design project will be added to the curricula of the lab where students will combine all of their class and laboratory work. The project is based on their knowledge of power electronics, motor control, system modeling and analysis and performance measurements
, but also because from theeconomics point of view a 48 VDC battery system has become very feasible.The module has the objective of designing a residential BESS system according to the case(example) indicated in this paper. Modeling with Simulink is required, following the simulationshown in this paper. Students are required to know Simulink previous to this project. Simulink istaught at the junior level in the “numerical analysis” course and the IEEE and HKN societiesoffer workshops on Matlab/Simulink every semester. BESS is not included in the curriculum yet,thus there is no data for us to use to assess this module’s effectiveness in student learning, assoon as we teach this material, we will have more information and will be able to identify

It has alsointroduced the appropriate topics in our first-year graduate courses. We have not yet used it inour service course for junior-level mechanical engineering undergraduates. It has not been usedas part of student projects or laboratory work yet. In the classroom, it served to illustrateimportant points about synchronous machine behavior. Students readily understood thepresentation format, an illustration method common to finite element programs.

ProgramAbstractDesign and Innovation Centers are becoming popular creativity hubs on many engineeringcampuses. While a number of centers, such as Stanford University’s d-school and NorthwesternUniversity’s Segal Design Institute have existed for a long time, a significant number of otherengineering centers have recently been established and even more are in the planning phase.These centers generally offer a location, infrastructure, and support for the university communityto learn and work in a hands-on project-centered environment. Though each design center has aunique purpose relative to its home institution, the centers have all had a significant impactinstilling design experiences into the campus culture. This paper examines the impact of thearrival of an

equipment, online resources, etc.,however there are few that provide undergraduate students with both an engineering education and achance to do real engineering. Our EES provides both. Through our capstone course, students have anopportunity to directly design and contribute to the overall system. USAFA does not have access tograduate students and although we can do long distance collaboration with the Air Force Institute ofTechnology, we generally consider our projects to be at the undergraduate level.Senior Capstone Design teams are nearly all multi-disciplinary consisting of students from many majors Page 23.1000.7including electrical
c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Temperature and Level Control of a Multivariable Water Tank ProcessAbstractThe project is concerned with the design of a water tank process and experimental evaluation offeedback control structures to achieve water level and temperature control at desired set pointvalues. The manipulated variables are the pump power, on the water outflow line, and heatsupply to the tank. Detailed, first principles-based, dynamic models as well as empirical modelsfor this interactive and multivariable process have been developed and used for controller design.Furthermore, this experimental study entails and discusses the design of the water tank processand associated instrumentation, real time data

McKinsey Global Institute also estimates that Industry 4.0 couldpotentially increase global GDP by $5.7 trillion by 2030 [2]. At the same time, the McKinseyreport also foresees a global shortage of skill workers as a result of implementation of Industry4.0
Bridge and Internship ProgramsAbstractUndergraduate students need exposure, initiation, motivation, and guidance to develop anorientation toward research that will benefit them not only in their capstone projects but also intheir future careers. Elizabeth City State University (ECSU) made such an opportunity availableto the rising junior and senior students of the Engineering Technology program.Fifteen rising junior students were selected to participate in the summer bridge program, and fourrising junior and senior students were selected to participate in a summer internship program atthe Coast Guard's aircraft facility.

development ofengineering students’ sociotechnical thinking, particularly in the context of complex designproblem solving [1, 4, 5].Existing research points to several pedagogical strategies for fostering sociotechnical ways ofthinking in engineering students. For example, one approach to catalyzing students’sociotechnical thinking in engineering design education entails employing community-baseddesign projects that position students to think about social issues as they respond to designchallenges [4, 6]. Such approaches rely on the authenticity of the design challenge andpresuppose that the authenticity, as manifested in interactions with community members and theconstruction of personally relevant artifacts, will foster students’ sociotechnical

this reason, an amphibious water sampling rover was created by a capstoneproject team. This capstone project team was formed with five undergraduate engineeringtechnology students. This project was started in the Spring semester of 2022 and concluded inthe Fall semester of 2022. This project generated a rover, and the rover can navigate both on landand on water. And it can perform the water sample collection task. The rover can be controlledover a remote PC, and it can collect water temperature data, and the data can be sent remotelyover the internet.

identificationof customer requirements [2]. Substantial interaction between mechanical engineering andentrepreneurship students in a senior level capstone course resulted in noteworthy improvementsin final project quality [3].When entrepreneurship is present, as it is in this study, a recent literature review identified a needfor more studies that measure its educational impacts [4]. This is not a new conclusion.Immersion in a process, such as the one conducted in this study, or even a simulation allowschildren to learn extensive amounts of information in short periods of time [5]. However, fewpedagogical impact investigations interrogate more than direct, overall academic achievement,even with one of the most studied constructs, achievement motivation [6
