The purely mechanical design method allowed themechanical engineers to design and test the system void of input from the other disciplines.This multidisciplinary team design effort has been conducted successfully for several years atWestern New England College. The students enjoy the effort and learn a lot about real worldproduct multidisciplinary design and development challenges including team dynamics, budgetconstraints, and project management. This paper describes the details of the design experience,discusses how the enhancement efforts were found to be successful, presents sample teamprototype results, and discusses student comments and feedback. As part of ongoing assessmentprocedures, an alumni survey is being

A key difference in thisframework as compared to other typical capstone designs, independent studies, or research creditcourses is that undergraduate TAs and project managers within the project teams are responsiblefor developing many of the assignments distributed to those students enrolled the course as theproject progresses. The methods of student assessment within this framework include: individualor small-group weekly assignments, design notebook checks, peer and self-evaluations,participation, summative technical reports, and the Humanitarian Library. Additionally, unlikemany traditional problem set or laboratory courses, student skills are developed through

The intent was that students would brainstormpossible crane designs; use statics and failure analysis to predict how each would score by theperformance equation, and choose the best design. Specifications for the writing assignmentswere crafted to help guide the students in their approach: for example, in the first progress report,students were required to present at least three different crane designs and

Due to a lack ofresponses from this target group, the participation requirements were relaxed to include graduatestudents in the computer science program and undergraduates who had successfully completed allof the prerequisites for the software engineering course. Seven subjects began the study and fivecompleted all of the study activities.Data Analysis The three different types of data collected in this study, questionnaire responses, verbal protocols(as audio/video recordings), and artifacts produced as solution representations, required threedistinct analysis methods. This data
caused bothconfusion and concern among civil engineering department heads. Some programs movedaggressively to implement the BOK2 outcomes in their curricula but worried that they would stillbe evaluated under BOK1-compliant criteria. For others, the prospect that BOK2-compliantcriteria changes might be initiated before the BOK1-compliant criteria had been implementedcaused considerable (if unfounded) angst. In either case, it can be argued that BOK2 waspublished too soon, at least from the perspective of accreditation criteria implementation.A Plan for Long-Term Management of BOK and Criteria ChangesAt this point, the need for careful synchronization of the published BOK and its associatedaccreditation criteria has become quite clear.

Researchers spent between two and five days at each research site conductinginterviews and observations and shadowing engineers and project managers. At each site,researchers conducted five interviews with participants and attended five to eight design andcoordination meetings.Data SourcesData were collected through meeting observations and semi-structured interviews with voluntaryparticipants. The purpose of observing meetings was to gather information about the use ofartifacts in authentic work environments. Given that meetings were routine for the engineeringdesign teams at each of the companies, the meeting

Work in Progress: Development and Implementation of a Self- Guided Arduino Module in an Introductory Engineering Design CourseAbstractThis Work in Progress paper discusses the implementation of an online module designed to teachbasic Arduino programming skills to students enrolled in a first-year engineering design course.The learning objectives for students were (1) to learn the basics of Arduino programmingthrough hands-on activities, (2) to connect with the numerous online resources available forcreating their own projects for personal or class purposes, and (3) to gain a sense of curiosityabout what types of challenges and problems they may be able to solve with their newfoundskills.

The course also covers cross-discipline trendy topics includingautomation, lean, six sigma and project management. The assignments in this course includebuilding a resume, identifying in-demand skills using job postings, and reading assignments onproject management and lean engineering. The grading is based on assignments and attendance.There is a need to evaluate these courses effectiveness in increasing students’ engineering self-efficacy, confidence, and motivation, and justify larger-scale implementation into theengineering curriculum. Students in both courses were given a 40 item pre- and post- onlinesurvey to assess their engineering design confidence
the students’ entrepreneurial attitude. Educators in this field have tacitknowledge that instructional technique matters. We would like to introduce an assessmentapproach to make visible an important learning outcome unique to this discipline.Background of the study This program assessment research is a collaboration between the School of Education andthe Technology Management Program (TMP) embedded in the College of Engineering at a tier-one research university. While the institution is highly ranked and has many exemplaryprograms, it does not have a business school. The Technology Management Program which isdesigned to teach students how to commercialize technology becomes the de-facto program forstudents to learn about innovation

The criteria for this paper are centered onthe incorporation of the human design factors in the engineering design curriculum and the threetopics suggested by Dolan (social support, social justice, and social capital).3Bridger and Luloff offer a set of five criteria that defines the criteria of a sustainable communitydevelopment project. Their criteria includes local economic diversity, self-reliance, decreasedenergy usage and waste management, enhancement of biodiversity and stewardship of resources,and social justice.4 Dr. Juan Lucena of Colorado School of
