ABET, the accreditation agency for engineering, has placed greatemphasis on the capstone design course as a vehicle to assess and evaluate students’ outcomesand education objectives of the program. In a capstone design course, students work in teams todesign, build, and test prototypes with real world applications. The capstone design courseprovides the students an opportunity to work with real-world, open-ended, interdisciplinarychallenges typically sponsored by engineering societies, industry, and research companies.During the course, the students apply engineering design process: defining the problem,identifying specifications and constraints, developing conceptual solutions, evaluation ofconceptual

INTERMATH3.ILAPs are interdisciplinary group problem-solving projects designed for undergraduates, co-written by mathematics faculty and science/technology/engineering faculty. These small groupprojects are designed to foster student interest by being lively. Being “lively” means that studentsare actively involved in and outside of class with project problem solving and/or hands-onactivities. ILAPs can motivate students to understand the connections between mathematicaltools/concepts and applications within the broader science and engineering fields. With theseprojects STEM students see real-world applications of mathematics in science and engineering.One of the main goals of the project was to produce assessment data on the effectiveness ofILAPs in

Graphical programming tools are increasingly used tosimulate a design, develop an algorithm or model a process in engineering andtechnology disciplines due to ease of implementation and because they allow a natural,intuitive interaction with the system or process under simulation. The traditionalapproach to develop and implement an algorithm to target a real-time DSP is to writethe source code in either C language or assembly language.

The rationale for instructional strategies that encourage cooperationamong learners is that such strategies more closely approximate the real world than traditional didacticapproaches (Cockrell, Caplow, & Donaldson, 2000; Gallagher & Gallagher, 2013).
