paraphrasing Tempelaar who states that a key prerequisite of any assessment system,whether problem-based or not, is that its procedures are congruent with the educational and instructionalprinciples.31 Students, as well as instructors, adapt their approach to the assessment procedures in order tomaximize their success. One of the driving forces behind a project-based curriculum (which we haveattempted to lay out in the preceding sections of this paper) is that it is congruent with not only cognitive andeducational principles but with norms of engineering practice and societal trends. It shift emphasis frommemorization of de-contextualized facts and formulas to deep conceptual understanding applied through theprocess of design. It moves students from

Through a scholarship of integration that breaksthe boundaries between disciplines, we propose a three-level framework: (1) Understanding technologyanalysis and system integration (to allow students to identify appropriate solutions given newtechnologies); (2) Making a value chain (or how these are appropriate solutions); and (3) Developingresponsible innovations (or why these are appropriate solutions). While engineers continue to be creatorsand influencers of such technologies, the lack of understanding of the impact of their own technologiescontinues to cause an imbalanced innovation landscape

A Delphi process used a panel of experts to identify and prioritize candidate concepts for inclusion in the concept inventory over several rounds of feedback. Concepts were selected on the basis of their relative difficulty for learners to understand and their perceived importance by the panel. For the top concepts, multiple choice questions are under development with distractor answers that pointed to expected misunderstandings. These questions are to be tested with groups of students from an introductory design course that covers functional reasoning, and the concept inventory will be created from the validated questions.

Understanding how students perceiveand incorporate stakeholder needs and values within their design process is an underexplored yetessential step towards assuring the advancement of engineering design education. Moreover, thisunderstanding will allow for the assessment and assurance that students gain holistic and well-balanced experiences that they carry into industry practices.This work-in
15.1072.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2010 Software Radio Based Wireless Laboratory Design and Implementation for Enhancing Undergraduate Wireless Engineering EducationAbstractWireless communication and networking have revolutionized the way people communicate. Thepast decades have witnessed two trends: miniaturization of wireless devices, and scarcity of radioresources. Miniaturization results in more devices being deployed. As more devices go wireless,they have to share a finite yet increasingly crowded radio spectrum. As devices become smallerand the airwaves become more crowded, more efficient ways are needed to allow them tocommunicate and share the spectrum.Software

Many different teaching methods have been proposed toimprove people’s abilities to grasp and retain knowledge under this category. Recognizing thatthere are difficulties in proper delivery of systems analysis and systems dynamics to civilengineering students; the fact remains that these tools are extremely useful for someone whoplans to become a designer. Therefore, ways have to be found to enhance the understanding ofsystems’ thinking, and at the same time, to develop educational experiences that could efficientlyimprove learning outcomes.2) Looking at risk management and uncertainty: Engineering design is carried out

Artois is very new and that using computer technologyin the curriculum with Internet applications was very undeveloped until 1997. Penn State hadbeen investing heavily in computing in the undergraduate curriculum for several years, but ittrailed Artois in internationalizing the curriculum and in establishing close curricular ties toindustry. The idea for using international student design teams came after a collaborativeconference on the use of information technology in engineering education in Bethune in May,1997. The well-established relationships within the collaboration were essential to the feasibilityof the project.The Design Project's ObjectiveThe collaborative design project was developed to internationalize the in-house curriculum
