At The University of Texas at Austin, ProjectPROCEED is encouraging the “trickle down” of real-world application projects through themechanical engineering curriculum. Real world applications are being integrated into thecurriculum beginning in the freshman year.Instructor Expectations and Shifting PedagogiesEngineering education is going through a shift from traditional teacher-centered lecture-basedcourses to more student-centered pedagogies such as project-based learning. But differentpedagogies mean different roles for both instructors and students. Students may be caught in themiddle of this shift. Too frequently students have been ingrained in a lecture-based system

Oneway to do this is review prerequisite classes with faculty or to read through the last ABETpacket submitted.During this information gathering phase, it may be beneficial to ask what worked andwhat did not work. For example, after teaching his course for one year, JMK realized thathis students had difficulty applying mathematical concepts to course material,particularly on exams. This may have been avoided by finding out more information fromother faculty prior to the start of the semester.To try to alleviate the problem, a handout was prepared for

While industry would prefer engineers with greater understanding ofall facets of product design and development, graduate programs favor students with greaterscientific skills, as thesis and dissertation topics have become more and more theoretical andcomputational in scope.In view of these concerns, the curriculum of the Aerospace Structural Design course wasmodified to include topics related to manufacture of aircraft structures. At present, four lecturesare devoted entirely to the discussion of various design paradigms, such as design formanufacture and assembly, design to/for cost, integrated product and process development, etc.,highlighting the importance of early design decisions on manufacturability

These solid fuel boosters were the largest of their kind ever used for manned spaceflight. The O-ring seals were used in the joints between fuel segments to maintain internalpressure and prevent hot gas or flame from escaping during the ascent of the flight. Once anSRB is fired it cannot be shut down until its fuel is exhausted. In the Challenger launch, bothprimary and secondary seals failed due to the cold temperature and resulted in the eventualexplosion of

However, successful design students must also masterprofessional skills such as oral and written communication, project management, teamworkskills, problem solving, and professional ethics. These skills can be difficult to teach in atraditional lecture format, but can be very naturally integrated into capstone design5. Sincecapstone design courses offer many opportunities for situated learning, they allow students tolearn these professional skills in a realistic context6.Given that these professional skills are necessary for a successful capstone design experience,one

The curriculum is organized so students can applytheir technical and non-technical skills in solving their capstone problem and gain knowledge viaa culminating major design-build project. The capstone projects are intended to provide studentswith hands-on learning, continuous practice of a broad set of technical, management, andprofessional skills, ideally in a cross-disciplinary setting.In this project, the students designed a UAV capable of flying under direct manual control andindirect automatic
