report is graded based upon a pass-fail criteria and a standardized grading rubric. Labgroups of two students are given the opportunity to revise failed lab reports with tokens. Initially,each lab group has two tokens with the opportunity to earn more during in-class discussions orextra credit assignments. Specification grading is geared towards meeting a minimum set ofstandards, but allowing the teaching assistants and myself to offer technical writing criticism. Thegoal is to help the class improve technical writing skills or at least maintain a reasonable qualityfor professional engineers.The lab handouts are hosted on GitHub 18 as interactive Jupyter 19 notebooks.

That problem was summarized through this ill-framed problem statement: “Neurology patients may undergo the same neurological tests upwards of three times a day, including in the ER to assess initial patient condition. Your team project is to create an electronic device that will make a subjective neurological test both quantitative and objective.” Student teams chose a neurological test to render objective and quantitative. They researchedand wrote a structured problem statement [3], engaged in design, and produced a workingprototype. A design report was due at the end of the semester.

the applications considered, the mathematical model is a boundaryvalue problem -- governing equations defined in a domain and boundary conditions defined atthe edges of the domain. Other types of mathematical models encountered include initial valueproblems for time-varying applications, eigenvalue problems such as for determining the naturalfrequencies of vibration and minimization problems such as in optimization. So the mostfundamental aspect of the simulation that the student needs to know is the mathematical model(or model for short); for instance, the governing equations, domain and boundary conditions aswell as the chain of reasoning and assumptions used to develop the model.The second element of the black box framework is the

anengineering department can use to create a first set of strategic objectives or an initial strategic plan. Anappendix to this paper gives a brief chronology describing the application of the "quick" approach in theDepartment of Industrial Engineering at Clemson University.Steps in the Strategic Planning Process To begin the strategic planning process, the academic department must have a mission statement that isbeen recently reviewed by the faculty as a whole, and there should be general consensus among the faculty onthe appropriateness of this statement. Then, the basic steps in the strategic planning process are as follows: Page

Besides program differences, studies of engineering capstones have revealed variation interms of course duration, project sources, project funding, faculty involvement, and teamassignments [13, 14]. This paper sought to benchmark different unique aspects that programs adoptfor their capstone courses. While each program is unique in its faculty makeup, its core curriculum,and its culminating capstone experience, the goal is to produce Architectural Engineers for thefuture of the AEC industry. It became apparent in the initial research for this study [14], that thereare significant differences between each accredited Architectural Engineering program, and thatthe differences would

These projects are greatly open-ended, as long as the teamaddresses the department mission of research, service, or education, using design principles,experimentation, and analysis of data. To allow this lab to conclude offsite, all proposed projectsneeded to literally be “kitchen safe” and executable by people alone at multiple sites. Studentshave stepped up to this challenge and are now working on very interesting projects, many ofthem related to the current crisis (e.g. assessing the efficacy of homemade hand sanitizer, turningnewspaper to toilet paper, assessing pre

to think comprehensively and to link thoughts in sequence; to rewriteand revise; and to realize that there is no one “correct” solution to presenting the material.These steps could also be thought of as steps in the design process. Both processesinvolve an initial creative stage; gradual improvement and revision; and movementtoward an acceptable final result, with recognition that a unique “correct” solutionusually does not exist [16].Writing about a complex technical problem can help students develop a deeperunderstanding of the material.
