ofthese and other experiences I concluded the fundamentals of SE should be learned by allengineers as a part of their undergraduate education. A similar conclusion had been reached bymy spacecraft design education colleagues who had, with NASA support, already introduced SEinto their capstone program4. So our aircraft design course followed suit but with an objective ofintegrating SE into the syllabus as a hands-on principle of design, not as separate subject. Our capstone course concept was unique so no texts or course materials were available. Sothe author and Dr. Mark approached the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Researchand Engineering (ASD/RE) seeking support for development of the two-semester SE Designcapstone course

Barriers to access havedetrimental effects on the employment, education, food, and healthcare of low-incomehouseholds and underserved communities [1,2]. These communities are also more likely to delaymedical care due to limitations in transportation services [2].

PartnershipThis partnership allowed 10-15% of my students to find work with the industry partner as a co-op or summer intern. Some of these same students were offered or accepted full-time positions.For each year of the partnership, two new and additional senior design projects were funded andsponsored. Several students were put on rotational assignments in the areas of field service,locomotive final assembly and testing, and maintenance and diagnostics service.6 The fieldassignments took place in Colorado, Nebraska, or Montana. During this assignment, studentsworked with other field engineers, technicians, and customers. The feedback I received fromboth the students and industry partner was that this assignment provided an excellent opportunityfor
. Significantanticipated challenges have been described related to the prospect of teaching and assessing thisnew aspect of the science curriculum. Two of the primary challenges are that (a) few science andgeneral education teachers have the knowledge and skill to guide students in engaging in designactivities that integrate engineering and science and (b) assessments currently being used in theK-12 arena do not measure engineering design and cannot easily be adapted to do so. In thispaper, I describe research efforts to inform the development of assessments that engage studentsin a design process. The focus here is on the use of student engagement in a paper-based designactivity with the students’ design goal being to suggest improvements to a solar still such

It can be difficult to ensure that all students working withincontrol system and mechatronic curricula develop an in-depth and complete understanding of theinteraction between complex mechatronic systems and the control systems required to stabilizeand optimize their behavior.Due to this increase in system complexity, the need for time efficient yet accurate simulation andexperimentation has become essential in dynamic system and control system design anddevelopment.
