The structure and content of the courses described in this paper cover 7 of the 11 ABET “a to k” Criteria previously used to evaluate engineering programs for accreditation; including several criteria that are not rigorously covered in other courses in the curriculum (e.g., knowledge of contemporary issues). This can be invaluable in developing program accreditation visit reports. The two-semester capstone sequence can be easily evaluated for ABET accreditation criteria using traditional measures (e.g., grading student submittals) or implementing a peer evaluation system similar to the one described herein.

paper on the teaching assistant experience of usingMEAs.The second author was the course coordinator for ENGR126 from August 1998 to December2006. In her role as course coordinator, she overhauled the curriculum to focus on solving morerealistic engineering problems. Part of that overhaul included the development and incorporationof MEAs as a standard component of the curriculum. She has authored numerous papers on thesubject, obtained funding from multiple sources to continue research into their value, andcontinually pushed MEAs in new directions.Selection of the CaseApproximately one quarter of the 402 of student team responses from Fall 2007 were reviewed

It isanticipated that this laboratory will be an ongoing source of new undergraduate projects.ConclusionsThe authors have found that undergraduate student projects can be employed to develop astate-of-the-art university-industry experimentation facility. These many projects have promotednational and international interest in our research work on air compressor energy efficiency viautilization of advanced synthetic lubricants. The undergraduate students gained knowledge andprofessional experience beyond what is provided by any undergraduate course in engineering atUWM.

courses. As such,the authors have devised a program that: (1) relinquishes a degree of control to students byproviding them some flexibility in determining the subject of their experiments and in thedevelopment of experimental procedures and protocols, (2) uses mobile experimentation as apowerful and flexible tool in lecture-based coursework, and (3) expands the concept of the“laboratory” to include virtually everything outside of it. A pilot program in mobileexperimentation and data acquisition that featured these approaches was conducted over twosemesters. Students used PDAs to perform experiments using “real world” engineering systemsthat were found on or around campus. Such systems included: vehicle suspensions, elevators,auto-focus and

Among the many findings from these interviews is thatthe experience of serving as an assessor for this study left many of the faculty participants with a keeninterest in the teaching methods used by John Wright and the outcomes of the study. Based on remarksmade by many of the assessors, both LEAD Center researchers and members of the chemistry educationreform group associated with the NSF-funded New Traditions Chemistry Consortium believe that animportant side-effect of the assessment study is that it provided 25 science, engineering and math facultyat UW-Madison with a meaningful introduction to this experiment in improving student
thermal and fluid sciences with strong designcontent and extensive laboratory experience. The first phase of the series starts with a two-semester class sequence that integrates Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer toprovide the theoretical background of the thermal engineering concepts with an emphasis onpractical design applications. Innovative project-oriented "just-in-time" delivery methodologyhas been implemented in the teaching of this class. Frequent introduction of real-worldapplications and hands-on experiments, which demonstrate the physical principles learned andemphasize the connectivity between heat transfer, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, iscritical to the success of this integrated approach.

TheNational Science and Technology Council’s Committee on STEM Education put forth a report in2018 to outline a federal strategy for STEM education. This report notes that, “The character ofSTEM education itself has been evolving from a set of overlapping disciplines into a moreintegrated and interdisciplinary approach to learning and skill development. This new approachincludes the teaching of academic concepts through real-world applications and combines formaland informal learning in schools, the community, and the workplace. It seeks to impart skillssuch as critical thinking and problem solving along with

it has some limitationswhen it comes to nurturing creativity, synthesis and engineering design1. Therefore, a prudentcombination of teaching by lectures and active learning techniques are perhaps the ideal way toenhance student comprehension and creativity. Modern simulation software provides an efficientway of involving engineering undergraduate students in the active learning process. The reformmovement in engineering education inspired by Engineering Criteria 2000 (EC 2000) ofAccreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET)2 is consistent with this approach.
