AbstractThis paper explores an innovative cross-disciplinary project conducted at the University of Texas atSan Antonio, which integrated students from Engineering core class "Introduction to MaterialsScience and Engineering" and English core class "Shakespeare: The Later Plays" into a collaborativelearning experience. The project aimed to bridge the gap between classroom knowledge and real-world application by pairing Engineering and English students to design and learn 3D printing tofabricate stage props and models based on Shakespearean plays. This hands-on project requiredstudents to transcend their disciplinary boundaries and engage in a real-world "designer/client –technical provider" interaction. This paper evaluates the impact of this

Capstone courses are ubiquitous in engineeringprograms. The authors in [5] received data from 444 programs and identified a potential 1724 programsnationally. Capstone courses are de-facto required by ABET, as General Criterion 5 requires “aculminating major engineering design experience that 1) incorporates appropriate engineering standardsand multiple constraints, and 2) is based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work” [6].The above goals map directly

Each weekly design task builds upon the previous tasks, so the students can experiencedirectly how each of the topics discussed in the lectures and applied in the project are connectedto one another. The hands-on labs have been developed around the textbook8 used in the class.By the end of the semester, the students have developed multiple "paper designs", selected the“best” design using a decision matrix, used computer tools to analyze the design, made a set ofmachine

The methodology must produce extensible code. Changes and additions, both at the time of the design and later, in the form of upgrades and bug fixes, must be easy to implement. To accomplish this, the design must be well documented and modular, with a clear, top-down design. Without these capabilities, the affects of code changes cannot be predicted or even limited to one module or group of modules. This leaves the

In this paper a graphical technique is introduced that helpsstudents to predict the impact of Gain-Bandwidth Product limitation of a µA741op-amp.Recognizing that the real world op-amp itself can be modeled as a first order transfer function,this paper presents graphical techniques that can be used early in the design process to “pre-compensate” for gain-bandwidth product limitations. Using these techniques, students are thenable to meet specifications with their µA741 op-amps. Finally, using a more expensive (LM318)op-amp, with 15MHz gain-bandwidth product illustrate that minimal
