Tips for best practices: • weekly assignments should have answers posted the following week, after grading • grouping students for discussions in large classes, have small-group discussions online • use the news forum to present each module and explain misunderstandings • respond to questions quickly Page 23.946.16 • modify the modules or deadlines quickly when the need arises, so be considerate of the students' issues • have some pre-class

faculty expertise and lecture content: A number ofthe faculty-related issues could be attributed to the limited time available for the faculty team toget to know each other’s expertise, teaching style and lecture contents. A team of individualswho have collaborated on other efforts before would be ideal for a project of this nature. Inpractice, however, it is rare (if not outright impossible) to find faculty from four differentcolleges with prior experience working together. So was the case with the team working on thisproject; while some had collaborated before, others were new. This meant that, the faculty, too,had to go through the different phases of team development—forming, storming, norming andperforming, as they are commonly known—for

began switching todifferent curriculums, such as modular laboratories, 15 because of the expenses associated withmaintaining traditional machining programs.8 Simply increasing class sizes—one way togenerate needed revenue—may not only increase student-to-faculty ratios but also the number ofstudents that can be served by the available equipment. One important finding in the UC Berkleystudy was that CNC equipment is perhaps less important than having simpler manual machinetools that have traditionally been part of these programs.1 Given the cost of new industrialequipment—manual or programmed—a reasonable alternative may be to obtain used systems.However, securing older equipment presents three issues: frequent repairs, obtaining

, and publicdisplay of major design features, the students could share information much more concisely thancontinuously reviewing a monolithic design documents.One of the major disadvantages of Crystal Clear was a diminishing quality in documentation. Asinstructors, a well written design document represents an artifact for both grading and programassessment. Unfortunately, the agile mentality that “busy work” should be avoided often resultsin less attention being drawn toward documentation. Furthermore, since design occurrediteratively, it was necessary for students to write and re-write documentation, which is somewhatonerous. This concern was discussed in a Software Engineering Institute study regarding agilemethodologies9. This issue was

Once more apost-assessment was given in the middle of the spring semester. However, the new faculty andthe new format for senior design involved even more lectures and the on-line lessons were notput to use. The results show that there was less gain in content knowledge during the secondyear with even more lecture time.

We currently conjecture that having students in systems engineering taking a large number of systems-focused (or systems-apparent on careful thought) courses across a number of disciplines, that our students become gradually more comfortable with a systems-thinking mindset and more capable at handling the technical issues in developing transdisciplinary systems models. Over the coming years we will to gather data concerning our conjecture that students learn a systems mindset most readily by (a) being introduced to the idea of systems thinking and systems engineering then (b) experiencing a range of

All teams were behind schedule and missed key elements of their paper design. Therefore, teams were hesitant to “nail” others with the budget points since they themselves could have been „nailed‟ for similar issues/problems.6) Having the interface drawings due prior to any “metal cutting” is extremely hard for developing engineers. The industry concept of having everything designed, vetted, and re-vetted before manufacture is important but students typically want to begin building too soon.7) Faculty evaluations for this class were very

Abstract  This paper describes an innovative curriculum developed for a new LogisticsEngineering degree programs at the Faculty of Engineering Management of PoznańUniversity of Technology. The core of the program is based on a sequence of four majorcourses, which focus on the Product Development, Process Analysis and Optimization,Logistic Processes and Service Engineering, respectively. Each course is built around a practical team project. With the project effort as thebackground, the courses introduce students to key issues in global engineering competence,such as technical and cross-cultural communication, collaboration and teamwork,organization and management, engineering ethics, critical thinking and problem solving, andintegration
