Group DynamicsDealing with group dynamics helps students to polish their “soft skills,” which are vitally importantin today’s business world. Soft skills, including oral, written, and interpersonal communications, areoften the most important skills that a person must possess in order to advance one’s career. Workingin large groups as a part of the undergraduate curriculum provides students with a chance to honetheir people skills, which generally occurs only

This mixture of writing formats,balancing technical with interpersonal issues, gives the faculty the whole perspective of theirinternship.Because in the BET program the clinical internship is part of the curriculum, and the studentsneed to be evaluated and assigned a grade, I heavily involve their supervisors in this gradingprocess. After all, they are the ones who have been in daily contact with the students and havehad more opportunities to assess their weaknesses and strengths. I ask them to evaluate thestudents under their supervision in several aspects identified by myself although the final grade isgiven by the faculty member in charge of the
broad agreement that communication is important to foster in engineeringstudents34. Although some academic programs include communication skills education inmultiple courses, most include communication only in stand-alone courses35. Evidence suggests Page 26.1412.5a trend towards increasing emphasis of communication across the curriculum36, but commonchallenges include lack of resources37. These studies have frequently examined either writtencommunication or verbal communication.Although evidence suggests that student improvement in written communication requiresinclusion throughout the curriculum, instructional design of those assignments38

Sichel, Member, IEEE , Beverly Park Woolf, Mark Floryan Abstract. We developed software that provides intelligenthands-on bench-top dynamic help to students as they study inlaboratories for introductory circuit analysis. Tutoring help is Theavailable at “teachable moments” as opposed to students waitingdays or weeks for traditional teacher-graded labs reports.Quantitative and qualitative studies show that using the softwareleads to improved learning, verbalization and
competenciesdeveloped in the first three years of the curriculum in the solution of a complex design problem.This paper presents the details of sample projects in smart systems that the students have done inthis capstone course.IntroductionSmart systems are systems that combine data processing with multi-modal sensing, actuation,control, and communication functions to perform smart actions. These systems make decisionsbased on the data that is gathered by the sensors in a predictive or adaptive manner. The conceptof smartness and smart systems are used in different domains such as manufacturing, energy,education, business and management, health care, infrastructure, chemistry, electronics, etc.However, there is a lack of consensus regarding the

, testing, manufacture,etc.). Even the two tasks requiring the most “creativity”, i.e., problem identification andsynthesis (or concept generation) are treated as left brain processes, e.g., problemidentification in many books emphasizes only clarification of the problem (A statement,e.g., “Why won’t the car start?”, followed a check list of possibilities) rather than the realissue: Of all the problems, known and unknown, which one should I solve? Similarly,the ideation process of synthesis is often reduced to the sequential evaluation of thepossible combinations of limited sets of limited alternatives for each perceived function.This process may be well and good for determining an optimal design from among afixed set of known possibilities, but it

Three selected responseshighlight the impact of the broad introduction to engineering disciplines and the activitiesdesigned to improve self-efficacy: "When I applied to the program, I was unaware of the depth of the field of engineering. I knew I liked math and science, and engineering incorporated both of those. During the program I learned that engineering was not just math and science, but art, problem solving

Scrumprovides a framework that facilitates teamwork and project management through an adaptable,incremental process. We have tailored our variant of Scrum for students working on engineeringprojects in a higher-education environment. In this manuscript, we describe some generalfeatures of Scrum, and how it fits with project-based courses and curriculum. Following this, wedescribe our implementation. We then provide a summary of our work, along with suggestionsfor future development.Introduction to ScrumScrum is a popular form of Agile project

There was maybe too much covered although it would have been nice to cover stepper motors, maybe make course into 2 quarters.This paper explained how to teach important theories and applications of electric machines withthe help of MatLab software, during one quarter term. The author intended to demonstrate thatusing software such as MatLab as a tool can make it possible to teach importantelectromechanical topics in electrical engineering curriculums, during a limited time, in onequarter or one semester.Bibliography: 1.
