The teams choose their topic from several provided lists (UNSustainable Goals, for example), collaborate to create user stories (“as a [persona], I want to [dosomething] so that [a goal is achieved]”), develop functionality and wireframe mockups, then usefree app simulation software to create an interactive app. Both activities are completed within a2-hour classroom session (one session apiece). The first activity is assessed through an individualreflection essay about the student’s experience in developing, refining, and participating in theprocess.

These two faculty will teach the capstone courses for thatsemester to make it more efficient. The School of Mechanical Engineering at Shanghai JiaoTong University redesigned their capstone course offering a series of two capstone courses butwith different weights [3]. They are offering one credit in the spring semester and 3 credits in theautumn semester. Some schools have redesigned their capstone course with a year-long programoffering a one-quarter lecture course followed by a two-quarter industry-sponsored capstoneproject [4].In the first capstone course, we will go over some topics from the mathematics courses theyalready took, for

Hackathons are a worldwide phenomenon that offers multiple outcomes for industry,educators, and students. Hackathons also come in various forms, each catering to differentaudiences and goals. At university level, these are fast-paced and collaborative events wherestudent programmers gather to address software challenges, usually over 24 to 48 hours.However, hackathons are not just about coding. They also involve presentations, workshops, andnetworking
mechanical design curriculum in the Manufacturingand Mechanical Engineering Technology (MMET) program in the Department of EngineeringTechnology and Industrial Distribution at Texas A&M University (TAMU). Comparing theneeds of the industry with the existing curriculum serves as a continuous improvement process.Based on a collaborative professional development project with the Sandia National Laboratories(SNL) and a survey of the MMET program constituencies, we identify the mechanical designknowledge and skill students are expected to acquire before graduation (Section 3). To improvemechanical design education, the recommended integrative mechanism and curriculum changesare discussed in Section 4. A brief conclusion is included in Section 5.2

Facultymembers from four departments (Engineering Education (EngE); Industrial and SystemsEngineering (ISE); Civil and Environmental (CEE); and Materials Science and Engineering(MSE)) participated in this project. Project investigators collaborated with investigators from twoU.S. universities and three Brazilian universities and developed a student exchange program.Seven students have studied in Brazil for at least one semester and the project expires in 2012.This paper discusses: (i) key strategies for recruiting students to the study abroad program, (ii)issues involved in developing Memorandums of Understanding and Student ExchangeAgreements between Virginia Tech and Brazilian universities, (iii) Portuguese language trainingand course transfer issues

EML pedagogyprioritizes active learning, immersing students in hands-on experiences like developinginnovative business ideas, tackling complex problems, and collaborating with peers.Beyond practical skill development, EML cultivates essential entrepreneurial mindsets such asresilience, creativity, and the ability to recognize opportunities. Moreover, EML pedagogyencourages interdisciplinary learning, recognizing that effective entrepreneurial thinking oftendemands a comprehensive understanding of various fields and industries [2].

increasingly utilized as a tool to enhance design andmanufacturing education and to empower students to innovate and quickly realize their ideas.Students can design, manufacture, validate, and continuously iterate their designs in a relativelyeasy and quick manner until they achieve the desired design outcome. Over the course of thisprocess, students gain practical understanding of AM processes and how to design for them, a skillthat is urgently needed to accelerate the adoption of AM in industry. AM-based projects also helpstudents learn how to work in teams, another highly valued skill in real-world product developmentoperations. By collaborating in sub-teams focusing on design, manufacturing and inspection,students also learn early on that
implementable lesson/exercise, as well as dissemination of newlyacquired knowledge at annual teacher summit and/or online presentation. The participants alsosummarized their studies and shared their posters with other research students and teachers fromdifferent RET/REU programs. The expected outcomes of this program would be the transferringof acquired practical knowledge and skills to excite, empower, and educate students through newclass/lab activities. Funding from industry allowed additional equipment for schools and havingmore teacher participants in this program. The three-year program achieved most of the planned objectives. The program recruitedand trained a diverse cohort of participants, most teachers managed to grow their
and develop the new laboratory and course “SolarPV Installation and Troubleshooting”. The new course is designed, developed, improved, andenhanced in close collaboration with industrial partners in order to prepare the students for theNorth American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP). In this paper, theequipment used in this new course as well as the course outline and laboratory experiments willbe presented and explained.IntroductionThe renewable energy share in the U.S. energy production market is growing rapidly, while thefossil energy share is declining [1], [2].

those not personally committed to biological engineering, are sending mixed messages to students. We all must learn something about non- agricultural aspects of biological engineering and convey those to students. Some would say that this is turning our backs on agriculture; it is not: it is committing ourselves to contributions to humankind that can be made by future generations.2. New constituencies must be identified and connections made. If agriculture is not the only industry to be served under the new biological engineering paradigm, then new collaborations must be formed. The most difficult thing about this process will be to become unfettered from old ideas. The payoff will come when we find

Robust participationsuggests that the modern enterprise is adaptive rather than reactive. Competition requires theenterprise to define its industry, understand its structure, and compete within the accepted normsof that industry. Robust participation includes the need to compete within the definedboundaries of a specific industry. It also includes the opportunity to seek new applications of theenterprise asset base. Organizations involved in robust participation recognize that there is no“end game” to the economic life of the planet and its people.

To address this concern,there is a need to develop and incorporate an innovative education model to engineeringcurriculum to ensure that engineering graduates are equipped with appropriate knowledgeand necessary skills in active learning, communication and information seeking.What is giving added challenges to such education model is the emerging distributedoperations in industries.
