The course features manyelements including: design and software engineering, writing for broad audiences, oralpresentations, staged development of the student product, use of modern software tools, andcontact with alumni to bridge students towards their future work environments. Two types ofdata have shaped the lessons learned: formal focus groups conducted with each class of seniordesign students, and informal feedback from well-meaning alumni. The interesting conclusion isthat the very features seniors tend to complain about – design, writing and oral presentation – arethe ones alumni report as the most valuable.1.0 IntroductionCapstone courses in American higher education are thought to date back to the 1850’s, whencolleges like

This teacher professional development approach differs from other training programswhere teachers learn how to use a standard curriculum and adopt it in their classrooms. In a CDBprofessional development model teachers actively design lessons, student resources, andassessments for their classroom instruction.

In the detailed course objectives and syllabi, we are taking actionsto assure that we conduct the courses with relevant ABET 2000 criteria integrated into theirstructure. Such criteria are especially evident in the new courses in systems integration anddesign.The changes discussed herein provide us, we believe, with a structure that will better equip ourstudents with the basic engineering fundamentals that will serve them not only in the first fiveyears out of school, but in the last ten years of their careers as well; but will at the same timemake better connections of that material for design of aerospace vehicles and for service tosociety.V.

learning is a foreign concept to most students, as they have not been challenged in this way before. OLI uses active learning to demonstrate and test concepts. The material is broken up into small segments where “students encounter activities, simulations, and virtual labs to help them apply and test their learning.” The presentation of similar but different material in class gives students the opportunity to compare and contrast what they have learned. This is also a new experience for many students.iii.

Active prototyping is a requirement for the course, with an emphasis on low-fidelityapproaches. We recognize that “prototyping” or modeling is different across various engineeringdisciplines, and thus implementation of specific tools or hands-on approaches is not explicitlyprescribed.

here as the focus of this paper is more onhow first-year undergraduate electrical engineering students better understood the concept ofcapacitance after taking part in a hands-on activity.Something interesting to explore is to examine the existing literature for examples of activitiesthat more broadly educate students on capacitance and capacitors. An earlier example ofcapacitor laboratory for students in a Physics I course was published by Tullen in 1971 andprovided a film (video) unit and associated laboratory to overcome students’ difficulty inperceiving text [5]. Another exploration of capacitance utilizes a more precise parallel plateapparatus which the authors use to test the ideal model of a capacitor as derived from Gauss’Law [6]. This
