team.Introduction Twenty-five years ago, senior design projects in the Electrical Engineering Program atUSMA were little more than extended laboratory exercises, customized for individual students.Today, teams of three to five students complete design, simulation, fabrication and testing ofsystems solving a variety of real-world problems. This paper examines the evolution of seniordesign projects and the surrounding curriculum and identifies what we believe to be the essentialcomponents of a program that effectively balances breadth and depth of engineering science witha progression of engineering design problems culminating in a year-long design experience forseniors. This review reveals that the essence of creation, implementation and maintenance

The students and facultyadvisors in the program travel together at all times. This aspect appeals to parents and studentswho are not comfortable with being on their own overseas. The courses are custom designed forstudying engineering abroad and are highly dependent upon the accompanying faculty members’interests and expertise. Therefore, in terms of program attributes, they are considered internallyowned with widely varying focus, content, and location, as should be obvious from the coursedescriptions provided below. The courses do have several attributes in common: they are threecredit hours, target a class size of 15

In these circumstances, it is very difficult andburdensome to replace the outdated laboratory equipment with the expensive experimentalsetups. Even if these canned experimental systems are installed, they seldom offer operationaland design variations. And by and large, these systems permit only limited and a cookbookapproach to experiments. They are not only dreary but the implementation costs of these cannedsystems are ever more increasing. This is a dilemma, which are difficult to resolve. To assist inalleviating these

I knew from the get-go that I’ve always wanted to be an engineer. It worked out really well in that regard.Thus, his military job allowed him to gain a more holistic view of the design process as both anengineer who designs materials and as a machinist who brings those designs to life.Taylor, an aerospace engineering major serving in the Reserves, said that his experience as aCrew Chief in the Air Force Reserves gave him a broader perspective on the type of work donein Aerospace Engineering and also provided Taylor with a foundation for completing his finalproject in his major, which involved designing and building a rocket.

Blueprints and mentors from AlliedSignal provided the industry-based aspects of the course. The MECO students producedindustrial quality drawings, removing the Allied Signal name and modifying materials and parttolerances to meet the ASU laboratory capabilities. Then the MECO students created molds andcast 20 parts for machining. Other classes wrote the process plans (routing), designed and builtfixtures, and machined the final parts on a CNC-machining center. Furthermore, inspection andcontrol charts were developed on a Mitutoyo Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) and qualityassurance

The experiment itself is well known, butthe physical set-up used in this work is intentionally designed to require group collaboration forthe measurements. The prompts are open-ended, so that continued teamwork is needed for theinterpretation, analysis and presentation of the results. The experiment is conducted in the lecturehall during 15-20 minutes of regular class time, with additional group work using shareddocuments occurring outside of class hours, culminating

The final rocket project is intended to integrate the theoretical and experimentalmethods used in the preceding eight experiments included in the course. The rocket lab isconducted over the final five weeks of the semester, with one three-hour laboratory meeting perweek. In the first week, the students assemble the rockets from commercial kits and find thedrag coefficient for each rocket using a wind tunnel. The speed of the wind tunnel is varied from10 MPH to 100 MPH in ten steps and the drag force is plotted as a function of the square of thevelocity. The drag coefficient is then calculated from the slope of this plot.On the second week of the rocket sequence, the engine

For the firstdesign, being the novelty of the concept, the students were not able to have to much input in thedesign or implementation process, but they did experience the interaction with experts in thefield while doing evaluation and searching for implementation options. For the second machine,the students had an existing device and it was a more dynamic and interactive process betweenfaculty and students because it was a modification/improvement task. There was not that muchinteraction with the previous team because of the period of time between designs.

Because of thisgoal, the instructions for building the buoy stress being creative and resourceful.

The jars were observed after 5 minutes and after an hour (seeFigure 1).
