In order to meet the degreerequirements, students of MSWC are required to complete a relevant research project that is thedeliverable product of the Capstone course. This paper i) investigates the outcomes of a recentlycompleted student Capstone project “Smart Phone Book Search”, ii) analyzes how the studentsmet the program goals and gained practical experience dealing with real life problems, and iii)demonstrates how the project provides a viable solution.In the current busy Internet world, we are all actively engaged in a great variety of differentpursuits

Abstract Over the past eight years at West Virginia University a “hands-on” aerospaceengineering experimental Microgravity Research Team (MRT) two-semester project coursesequence has been developed and offered. During the first semester, the team of four to eightundergraduate students develops an experimental concept and hypothesis to be studied undermicrogravity conditions, and then submits a detailed technical proposal for their experimentfor review by the NASA Reduced Gravity Student Flight Opportunities Program (RGSFOP).Six successful experiments have been selected and flown on microgravity research aircraft inthe past eight years, with a seventh team selected to fly their experiment during the summerof 2008. The student teams also

importance of entrepreneurship toengineers, which is why entrepreneurship is increasingly being taught as a part ofengineering programs. However, the method of conveying the entrepreneurshipeducation has been writing a traditional business plan. In this paper, the coauthors willdiscuss an innovative approach to educating engineers in entrepreneurship. This wouldinclude implementing in the curriculum new online tools for creating a business planwhich have the mobility and convenience that today’s generation of engineers havegrown to know and expect. This revision of the entrepreneurship curriculum would beparticularly important for engineering managers to understand and would thus be avalued contribution for engineering management programs across the

We compared those topics and verbsto the ones found in the Florida Department of Education’s (FLDoE) AM curriculum frameworkfor two-year programs. We found varying levels of alignment, and, in some instances,misalignment, between employers’ desired topics and competency levels and those found inFLDoE Frameworks. Our findings not only highlight the importance of industry-educationpartnerships to tailor preparation to employer needs, but also suggest that a deeper explorationand analysis of AM jobs is needed to further determine alignment to FLDoE frameworks

Optimization algorithms, which are atthe heart of computational intelligence, are broadly classified into deterministic and stochasticcategories, each with unique characteristics and applications. These algorithms follow a specificsequence of operations that lead to a predictable outcome, making them suitable for problemswhere a guaranteed solution is preferred.
