Students’ comments range from: “a chance todevelop a portfolio” to “take on a project without guidance from the instructor” and learningfrom mistakes. Suggestive examples of students’ comments:“This project gave me a better approach on how a design should be implemented as I learnedfrom my mistakes.”“I found out that an initial architecture can fail if you don’t know the hardware capabilities.”The second question investigates in which area the students think that they improved theirunderstanding and engineering abilities: Hardware-digital, Hardware-analog, Software-HDL orothers.

: New Modules and Long-Term TrendsAbstractComputational methods have become increasingly used in both academia and industry. At theUniversity of Illinois Urbana Champaign, the Department of Materials Science and Engineering(MSE), as part of a university-funded educational innovation program, has integratedcomputation throughout its undergraduate courses since 2014. Within this curriculum, studentsare asked to solve practical problems related to their coursework using computational tools in allrequired courses and some electives. Partly in response to feedback from students, we haveexpanded our current curriculum to include more computational modules. A computationalmodule was added to the freshman Introduction to Materials Science and
sanitation, as well as sustainability solutions, through interdisciplinary approaches. Since joining the Olin College faculty she has also dived into the field of engineering education with an emphasis on integration of arts, humanities, and STEM. Her love of learning was first fostered by an unusual elementary school education that was deeply inter- disciplinary with a substantial arts curriculum. After graduating from Harvard University with a B.A. in Dramatic Literature, she worked professionally in theater and wrote and recorded two musical albums. She then returned to school to study engineering, earning a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Rutgers Uni- versity in 2011. While completing her degree at Rutgers, she wrote

This paper will compare and contrast these two techniques of providingstudents with Capstone project experience to highlight the pros and cons of each. With a mix ofboth industry experience and faculty guided work, the aim is to provide an optimal approach thatbenefits students, industry partners, and faculty involved in this very important element to four-year educational degree program.IntroductionThe University of New Hampshire at Manchester (UNH-M) offers degrees in both computingand engineering technologies in the Applied
research is to improvethe English teaching curriculum to Russian engineering faculty and to specifically addressthese problems [2]. A precursor to this activity was a workshop at the 2013 International Scientific Schoolon Engineering Education for New Industrialization held in Kazan, Russia given to nativeRussian speaking faculty by the author [3]. This workshop focused only on writing titlesand abstracts in English. During this workshop it was noticed that several types of errorswere often repeated and this repetition caused the authors to delve deeper and research thesources of these errors and understand what kind of exercises could be created to mitigatethese errors. This paper provides statistical evaluation of these types of mistakes

Even though the course is generally arequired course for many engineering programs, the author found that many curricula have eitherstopped offering the course or included some aspects of the course in some junior level courses.At Lamar University the faculty member who used to teach the class was recently retired and theauthor took up the
