Session ETD 545 Issues Associated with Capstone Courses and Growing and Expanding Engineering Technology Programs Joseph Morgan and Jay Porter Engineering Technology and Industrial Distribution, Texas A&M University, College Station, TXAbstractTen years ago, the Electronics Engineering Technology program at Texas A&M Universitytransformed their senior design course into a two-semester capstone design sequence basedaround a rigorous, real-world product design challenge. The projects undertaken by the studentswere almost all industry-sponsored
activities including: problem solving sessionsand computer-based activities with commonly-used software (MS Excel, Bridge Designer, andSkyCiv). The majority of these activities are performed in groups of three which provides acollaborative environment for students to share ideas and pose questions to other students thatrequire critical thinking.Construction Cost Estimating is also required for both construction management andconstruction engineering students. Traditionally, the course meets for 2 hours of lecture and 2hours of laboratory time with lecture time devoted to covering topics related to the laboratoryinstruction. Under the blended course format this changed. Approximately 1 hour of lecture timewas placed online. The students were asked to

Why are the national numbersso low and even much lower in Engineering and Technology?This paper will explore what employers are looking for in graduates, how can study abroad helpstudents achieve success, and the benefits of studying abroad for both the employer and thestudent. The paper will look at some reasons why students might not take advantage of studyabroad programs and what can be done to change the attitudes of faculty and students on thevalue of studying abroad to increase the preparedness of students for a career in the 21st Century.

As a result,Indiana University and Purdue University merged their many programs and schools to createIndiana University Purdue University Indianapolis in 1969. Since then, IUPUI has grown as anindependent institution becoming Indiana’s premier urban research university.IUPUI has two colleges and 18 schools that confer degrees through Indiana University (IU) andPurdue University (PU) in over 250 programs from both universities. The vast majority of thedegrees are from IU, but programs in the School of Engineering and Technology and the School ofScience grant degrees from PU.

The initiative addresses bothtraditional and non-traditional students as they work toward educational and workforcegoals.The proposal required that SUU hire an Engineering/Engineering Technology Faculty tocomplete and coordinate all the items listed below. Each partner has personnel assigned tosome aspect of these tasks.This individual would do all of the following and is a priority
new tenure track faculty member.The first task given was to upgrade the program. The program had a generic Bachelor of Sciencein Engineering Technology with an emphasis in Building Construction Management. In settingup the new program, the author relied on what he knew and was he also knew was successful.The new program was patterned after the program on the previous campus that he had attendedand taught at. While the planning took less than a year, the bureaucracy took another four years.Finally, in the Fall of 2009, a brand new Bachelor of Science in Construction Engineering andManagement Technology was now offered.

From these conversations, some key takeawaysincluded the student’s lack of being able to develop a Production Part Approval Process plan,design fixtures to hold parts or measuring instruments during the inspection process,misunderstanding of data in control charts, and inability to complete a design of experiments.With this in mind, manufacturing and quality engineers from local injection molding companiesand small machine shops were asked about donating parts (good and bad), as well as theassociated mechanical drawings, for students to use as part of class projects.
