” students enjoy being treated as engineers. They are even more self-fulfilled, just as graduate engineers are, when their designs “actually” work.Industrial Control Systems is a fascinating field with a great deal of potential. Through industrypartnerships and intervention, today’s engineering technology students can garner a great deal ofself-fulfillment though Senior or Capstone projects such as this. Giving students the opportunityto work on “real-life” projects goes a long way toward creating a “real” engineer. Realism in theclassroom is a must if we as engineering educators are to help ‘bring good things to life.”Bibliography1 Tapper, Jerome, “Building Industry Partnerships, The Key to Creating State-of-the-Art Laboratories,” Proceedings of

Students work on projects typically in groups of four or five. Thecourse is designed to serve as a transition from education to the practice of engineering to thegraduating engineering student.

why engineering schools are workingon providing courses in which students must engage in solving open-ended problems to facilitatereaching these learning outcomes. However, most of those courses are typically at the end of thecareer path (Capstone design project) and maybe an introductory design course in their first year.In these courses, students must find a problem and work on defining a specific problem, whichgets them closer to what the outcome expects. On the other hand, most of the coursesengineering students take in their first year ask them to solve well-defined problems with a rightanswer (they might be able to take different paths to get to that answer, but there is still one rightanswer).

We are focusing on the immediate need for improved, readily-transferrable techniques for the incorporation of technical writing in engineering courses, mosttypically at the sophomore and junior levels. The premise with selecting the sophomore andjunior levels is that most programs “bookend” technical writing in some fashion, with freshman-level design courses and senior-level capstone courses often being more project-based andalready involving substantial writing. In contrast, the sophomore and junior levels tend not toinclude much writing beyond formatted laboratory reports, although with resource limitationseven these reports have

growing component of engineering education in the UnitedStates. Its perceived educational value is exemplified by its explicit mention in ABET’sCriterion 5, which requires engineering programs to provide a culminating design experience thatincorporates engineering standards and multiple constraints. Capstone courses and design-build-test projects allow students to synthesize and apply engineering knowledge, skills, and tools toopen-ended design problems. Students work and communicate in teams to complete tasks likegenerating requirements, and testing and integrating equipment.

Project-based learning (noted as PBL*) team opportunities arequalitatively different than traditional PBL efforts in one demonstrable way.
