This project enhanced my ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools (such as a computer-based analysis program) necessary for engineering practice. 4. This project improved my understanding of sheet-metal fabrication, and gave me a better appreciation of the impact of manufacturing on product design as well as dimensional variability in fabricated parts. 5.

A case study is an in-depth inquiry intoa specific complex phenomena, which is set in a real-world context32. Merriam noted that a casestudy is used to gain in-depth understanding of the situation and meaning from those who areinvolved33. A case study is a description and analysis of a single unit. According to Yin34, casestudy design includes the research question(s), the unit(s) of analysis, the propositions, adetermination of how the data are linked to the propositions, and criteria to interpret

Many ELL are accustomed tospeaking in language acquisition classes and in those settings with circumscribed topics,their language abilities may seem adequate to the normative language level of that group.However, when there is a shift to a language use setting—the real world---, a student mayfind himself unable to perform fluently. Without a significant and readily retrievablevocabulary (perhaps in a specific technical discipline) and a ready command of grammar,the lower proficiency student cannot generate enough language to make meaning in thatspecific context or perhaps he cannot generate it quickly enough. Moreover, his receptiveskills may play a part since oral presentation and interaction usually include listening andthen responding

Most of the students also experienced delays resulting from events beyond their control, such as the availability of equipment or delays in the repair of equipment. This is a benefit to the student in that they are more prepared for such problems when they begin their own careers. In some cases, it might make them aware that research and development careers

Integrating math and science concepts together inintroductory courses, and using inquiry to motivate these ideas, has long been proven as aneffective pedagogical approach. Many first semester calculus and physics courses could fosterthis approach by using relevant (to the student), real-world examples that emphasize theunderlying principles. Further, placing students in teams early in their undergraduate career andencouraging students to form study teams for classes that don’t have required teamworkcomponents are other ways to provide important experiences for students.

Students seem to take ownership of their projects, and are genuinely proud ofthe results they achieve. This shift from “do a laboratory assignment and characterize someaspects of electrical engineering” to “build a real-world, complex device” makes students realizethat they are capable of much more than a traditional course in electrical engineering would havethem believe.
