technical display along with a verbal technicalpresentation from each team in the competition. All three of these become requiredparts of the course. Students are tasked with writing papers that describe the designrationale behind their product. Each student writes about the sub-system theydesigned and/or built. Those reports are then used as the starting point for thetechnical report and display for the competition. The students are also required tomake a five-minute oral presentation to the class about their sub-system as a precursorto the competition technical presentation. In the fall semester, students are asked topresent their designs to the class as part of the design review process, opening up thestudent to comments and questions from their

. Some of the modules didn't really apply to my situation but some were very helpful and informative. First, the courses that covered lab procedures and etiquette will help greatly once I begin my research. Also I have a much better idea of how to properly perform online research.’ ‘I also learned what to expect from undergrad research and got a ton of good advice on finding a professor to work with.’Many comments also highlighted ‘skill and methods used to conduct effective research’ such as ‘lab safety protocol’ to ‘writing technical papers’ and ‘keeping research notebooks’.

. The session paper summarized the quantifiableresults of the team-taught section. In addition, these reflections, the personal observationsof a technical instructor of a Team 112 teaching-team, can provide some qualitativeassessment as well.The first and the most important task for a technical faculty member team-teachingTeam 112 was to overcome the traditional mentality of content-based teaching and tofocus more on the non-content learning aspects. Indeed, this shift has been the source ofmuch of the resistance to change from technical faculty. In the beginning of thesemester, many Team 112 students commented that not only would the course be a “funcourse” for them, but that it would also provide them an opportunity to observe theinteractions
industry as well.This paper will describe the scope and layout of this class, student projects, and the equipmentused, associated costs of running a laboratory and lessons learned as well as the impact on otherfaculty, departments and local industry.Course OverviewMETBD 410 (Rapid Prototyping, a technical elective) has the following Goals/Objectives:1. Understand the advantages and disadvantages of different additive processes currently on the market.2. Reverse engineer a product by digitizing geometry, importing the data into Pro/ENGINEER and creating a solid model from surfaces.3. Build the model (Objective 2) on the Z-402 3-D printer and re-digitize the prototype using a non-contact scanner to verify the geometry
two program’s methodologies, some important differences andsimilarities appear in the approaches they apply to student leadership development. Thoseprograms were selected for this paper because they have different strengths, but also sharecomplementary approaches to prepare students with leadership skills. The following paragraphsdescribe the program’s unique strength and outcomes. The focus of the LDP is to develop future technical leaders by focusing on: leadership skillsand technical knowledge. In the LDP, students have the opportunity to explore the technical aspectof engineering and apply leadership knowledge by developing projects and leading RSO’s in areal-project context. The outcome is a student that deeply understands
