through the integration ofengineering and art in a general education capstone course that is open to all disciplines oncampus.The course where the interdisciplinary design is presented is a senior level general educationcapstone course which lasts for a single semester. The idea for the course was born from ameeting between the engineering and art departments on collaboration between the programs,which eventually led to the course creation. Students populate the course from across theUniversity of Mount Union campus, not only from engineering and art majors or minors. Thispresents a unique dimension and challenge in that the instructors are bringing a diverse range ofstudent major disciplines together to learn about the intersection of

Most institutions offer a single or two semester-long courses, with an average of about4 h/week dedication split between lecture and process simulation [1]. They have been frequentlytaught by faculty with industrial experience or with the support of industrial partners in someassociated role [1]. Students are mainly requested to work out in

Using Project Based Learning in a Mechanical Design Course to Enhance Engineering Skills: Lesson LearnedAbstractThis paper describes the results of adding a Project Based Learning (PBL) pedagogy in a coresenior level course part of the Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) program. The work isa close collaboration between engineering and education faculty. The course discussed here isMechanical Design II, a three-credit-hour course, the fourth course in the mechanical designsequence of Statics and Strength of Materials, Applied Materials Science, and MechanicalDesign I and II. The course, offered online, covers more advanced mechanical design topics,including design and analysis of gear drive systems, bearings, shaft design

SketchWhile many engineering educational programs teach teamwork skills, especially in first yearengineering courses, teaching inclusive, collaborative and productive behaviors for working inteams composed of people with diverse backgrounds is challenging [1]. For students frommarginalized or minority populations, many interventions focus on preparing them to workwithin a majority-focused and sometimes unwelcoming culture [2]. Supported by NSF funding, ateam of researchers investigated a different approach. They infused existing engineering andcomputer science curriculum with small, but impactful, changes or additions to help studentsdevelop inclusive professional identities.
