It is expected that this laboratory will be utilized by all departments inthe University of South Alabama College of Engineering and will provide an opportunity forinterdisciplinary collaboration for undergraduate students, graduate students and faculty.4.3.4 Publications and presentationsThe investigators and students have been very active in
Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Developing a Learning Innovation for an Undergraduate Mechanical Engineering Course through Faculty, Engineer, and Student CollaborationAbstractEngineering education research is often motivated by closing the gap in students’ preparednessfor the engineering industry. One way to achieve this is by developing authentic learningcontexts, activities, and problems that are representative of the engineering workplace. Thisapproach is not novel in engineering education research or the engineering curriculum; however,only a limited number of studies have closely and collaboratively worked with students, faculty,and engineers to develop learning innovations (LI).

The new collaborative projects focus on smart environments for assistedliving, with an emphasis on technology development and retrofitting of the built environment.The four participating programs are from three different leader higher education institutions,from both sides of the US and Mexico border.Smart Environments (SmE), design, and technology applications are relevant topics acrossmultiple and diverse disciplines and areas of contemporary life. Different kinds of SmE in thedomain of smart homes have been developed in academia and industry. Healthcare and assistedliving development highlights
operatingmode in recent years for the product development industries with the aim of optimizing designcycles, improving quality and reducing design and production time in bringing new products intothe global market3.The process of integration of economies and societies as well as the rapid advances intechnology are constantly changing the world’s business environment. Outsourcing, in-sourcingand off-shoring design and manufacturing operations are very common practices nowadays formany industries, making the international collaboration not only a common but also a necessaryactivity4. This global collaborative approach requires permanent communication among themembers of the product development team for project planning and execution, and for
electromechanicalmedical devices. Students also implement design controls and complete documentation requiredof a proper quality management system. All projects are tested for safety and efficacy againstrelated industry standards. In BME5715, the students complete two projects, one individuallyand one as part of a team (Appendix 2). Project A is completed collaboratively as part of a teamand following interviews of physical therapists, clinicians, and patients, the students wereassigned to one of the following projects: 1) develop a solution for ambulatory multiple sclerosisindividuals with difficulty initiating gait due to hip flexor weakness, 2) develop a solution for C6spinal cord injury individuals to initiate wrist flexion and utilize tenodesis to have a

PDMsoftware into small engineering design teams may produce different benefits than its use in largeteams and long-term projects. Further, a need exists to bring PLM concepts and tools earlier intothe curriculum to encourage student development.1. IntroductionThroughout the early 21st century, the engineering industry has experienced dramatic changesacross business units due to the digital revolution. For example, product lifecycle management(PLM) software has pushed companies to improve collaboration among their divisions toincrease design, manufacturing, and business efficiency. PLM software can fall into manycategories, including computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE),computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and product data
across national boundaries. This paper describes an approach andpreliminary results of research leading to establishment of a framework for creation ofmultinational, engineering programs, which will produce graduates capable of workingefficiently in multidisciplinary teams engaged in international collaboration on industrial RSICprojects. The emphasis is on projects which require conformance to specific national andinternational standards mandated by regulatory authorities. A key element of the framework isthe identification of appropriate educational objectives and outcomes for the program based onindustry surveys and the analysis of accreditation criteria. The proposed RSIC curriculum modelis designed to be used by engineering schools, both in

The sponsored teamthen produces a viable product design solution to the problem, builds multiple productprototypes, tests, and verifies them based on the product requirements. While the EEP programfocuses mainly on market exploration, customer study, and business planning, the ECE SDprogram’s direction is towards system engineering, product design exploration, prototypebuilding, verification, and in some cases, manufacturability. Therefore, the authors saw a clearopportunity to collaborate and broaden the horizons of both programs and deserving teams onboth sides.

. Following a trial run with a smaller cohort, we expanded our efforts by hiringundergraduate students to assist with the conversion process for downstream courses. Thismodel proved effective in reducing faculty workload and ensuring a smoother transition toPython with minimal disruption to students. The hiring of a Python consultant and a team ofstudents over the summer facilitated the systematic conversion of MATLAB exercises to Pythonacross seven courses, spanning over 14 faculty, ensuring consistency and alignment withprogram educational objectives. Overall, our methodical approach, coupled withinterdisciplinary collaboration, has enabled us to successfully bridge the gap betweentraditional classroom practices and contemporary industry demands in
