. Finally, the last representative turned thequestion around into a challenge, saying “No, but we are waiting for someone like you to join usand show us whey we should be using them.”At the same time, there is never enough room in a software engineering curriculum for all thetopics the faculty judge to be important. For this reason, the place (or not) of formal methods inan undergraduate program will continue to be debated. Comments and suggestions from othermembers of the software engineering education community are solicited and welcome.References1. J. P. Bowen and M. G.

To account for the fact that such a solution can be potentially applied atremote point-of-care locations where electricity may not be readily available/easily accessible, thestudents were asked to make their design fully mechanical and not rely on electrical power/motors.This also helped to reduce the number of interfaces that students must design. The rationale behindreducing the number of critical interfaces was to increase the simplicity and robustness of thedesign, aligning with the frugal engineering principles

theoretical courses before they obtain the knowledge and skill setnecessary to complete a meaningful technical project. This long wait time between studentsentering the engineering and technology (ET) program and when they have had the opportunityto apply content knowledge to a meaningful technical project does have a negative impact on thestudent enthusiasm and motivation to stay in the degree2. Identifying this challenge, severalengineering educators have updated their curricula to engage students in hands-on designprojects in the first-year curriculum. While this method potentially keeps students motivated, it isoften difficult to find an engineering project that first-year students can succeed in, due to theirlimited technical knowledge and

Mechanical engineering is the main discipline in which a background in allof these sciences is expected. Is there a reason—apart from appeal to tradition—to continue toemphasize these six engineering sciences in mechanical engineering? Furthermore, whatelements of ME professional practice are not given their due in ME education?To truly design a mechanical engineering curriculum requires consideration of evidence of whatmechanical engineers do and how to prepare people to do those things.

academic institutions as well as members from the industryparticipate in the CDIO activities. A number of studies have documented the use of such techniquesin redesigning their curriculum in various fields, from operating like a small company (Säisä,2017) undergraduate design projects (Takemata, 2013), a course in electronics (Svensson, 2012)and systems engineering (Hsu, 2007). The most relevant aspect of the CDIO approach in the context of our course curriculumredesign is that it has been shown to be successful in fostering long term retention of fundamentalengineering concepts taught in the classroom. At our institution (as perhaps with others),constraints on time and resources has resulted in a limited, informal adoption of some aspects

Electrical Engineering Using a Para Didactic LaboratoryAbstractThe objective of this paper is to report the implementation of a Para didactic Laboratory in aprivate college of engineering in Brazil to improve the training of engineering students so thatthey can become industry-ready graduates.A very important component in the education of an engineer is the professional tacit knowledgewhich is obtained through the interaction with more experienced professionals. This normallytakes place after graduation. In order to expose the students to an element of professional tacitknowledge sooner, in lieu of the traditional approaches such as curriculum change and teachertraining, we founded a Para didactic Laboratory at our college
