sub-disciplines (Intradisciplinary) as well as with professionals from other fields(Interdisciplinary). One of the learning outcomes of the two-course capstone design sequence atWentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, Massachusetts is an intradisciplinary team designexperience.In the first course of the capstone design sequence (CIVE4000), teams of five students developand initiate the design of their original project with each project covering five different civilengineering sub-disciplines. Each student on the team is responsible for one of the technicalareas of their project. During the laboratory sessions, the students must work together with thedifferent civil engineering disciplines on their team as well as meeting with the

crop cycles currently dominatingMaryland and Pennsylvania farms. This program is formulated as a project-based learning(PBL) initiative. In particular, the program is a Capstone Design 2-semester course thatadditionally has design and build criteria as a requirement. Completion of this project is arequirement for graduation, and students usually take the capstone design course in their senioryear. Because this course is within the Engineering and Computer Science curriculum of thecollege, however, many of the topics that the students are required to learn are well outside oftheir typical course requirements. In this paper, we detail the approach to having undergraduatestudents research and master multiple technology areas and then apply them

mechatronics capstone designproject in the context of a traditional electrical engineering program at Merrimack College, aprimarily undergraduate college in Massachusetts. The electrical engineering (EE) program wasintroduced about a decade ago and is ABET-accredited. The college offers no master’s EEprograms.. Senior students are required to take a capstone design course in the form of a one-credit “Design Project I” course in the fall semester and a continuation course “Design ProjectII” (3 credits) in the spring semester.!!————————————————————————————————————-1 - Department of Electrical Engineering, Merrimack College, Andover, Massachusetts !1!Prior to joining Merrimack College in fall 2018, the

peers to bea valuable experience. Title: A Student Centered, Active Learning Approach to the Delivery of a Visiting Professional Lecture SeriesBackground:The Wentworth Capstone Experience consists of a two semester eight (8) credit multi-disciplinary project-based curriculum. The Wentworth Institute of Technology employs acooperative education model that includes two required co-op experiences. One during theSpring semester of their Junior year and one during the Fall semester of their Senior year. To“make-up” for these two required co-ops during traditional Spring/Fall semesters, Juniors andSeniors attend classes full-time in the Summers of their Junior and

STUDENT LEARNING EXPERIENCE This work is designed as a part of the capstone project of a group of senior students. Theygained enormous cross-discipline knowledge by utilizing skills on mechanical, computing, andstatistical analysis. Specifically, this capstone activity involves cross-discipline students inElectrical and Computer Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology, andElectro-mechanical Engineering

providing cost-effective online education and training inscience and engineering using the latest advances in technology and a project-based and systemsapproach. Currently, it offers certificates in mechatronics and mathematical modeling [1]. Onlineeducation is known to offer many advantages, and has grown considerably in the last fewdecades. One area of great potential for growth is in science and engineering. It is an area stillsubject to a subtle but not significant barrier to market entry [4].The role of API in the partnership included the design and delivery of suitable online curriculathat satisfy the needs of ENC, including:• electromechanical/mechatronics engineering• mechanical engineering• biomedical engineeringAccording to the Bureau of

Key concepts of OOP arecovered including classes, properties, methods, constructors, destructors,overloading, and inheritance. This treatment is conducted within the Linuxoperating system to expand the students’ exposure to another operating systemand in preparation for further study of Operating Systems, Computer & NetworkSecurity, and potential use in Capstone Projects. It is a required course for all Electrical Engineering and Cyber Systems students and opento any other student who has successfully completed the new Introduction to Computingcourse. The TOOP course is designed to meet twice a week. In its first offering

functionalrequirements of the system.(3) They have appreciated the importance of the proper documentation of the code in terms ofdescriptive comments and meaningful wire names to help them track any errors.One of the main ideas that have been raised by faculty members was that when students workwith the full evaluation board, such as the one shown in figure 2, they think that this is how itwould be integrated in any system. With the bulky form, they don’t tend to think of it as acontroller option for their capstone projects for example. They tend to prefer to work withmore compact microprocessor boards such as Arduino.Fig. 2 Intel-Altera DE1-SoC board, one of the commonly used evaluation boards for digital design courses.It offers multiple applications with
