All assessment techniques indicated that the students met and exceeded both courseexpectations and the performance of other student groups enrolled in the capstone design course.Seeking Significant and Interesting Topics for Senior Capstone Design CoursesAs anyone who teaches and advises undergraduate senior capstone design courses will attest,seeking undergraduate topics with the appropriate amount of depth and design is an unending

The RU/VH designation indicates the highestlevel of research activity as rated by the Carnegie Foundation. The department and its ETprogram are subject to unusual circumstances because neither is formally associated with theuniversity’s College of Engineering, but instead are administered through the College ofAgriculture and Natural Resources.

THE PROJECT-DRIVEN TEACHING APPROACHTo successfully meet the course objectives, two major design projects were developed to coverfundamental concepts in the instrumentation and controls areas. The first project was athermometer design project that requires the student to design a thermistor-based digitalthermometer; the second was a coupled-tank level control system design project. The concepts,analysis methods, and design approaches tied to the two projects are illustrated in Figure 2. Thispaper, however, addresses only the second project and discusses how control concepts weretaught through this project-driven approach. Specifically

andquestionnaires in an attempt to measure changes in student knowledge as a result of workingwith a robot. The remaining publications discuss how a quantitative, pre- and post-testmethodology was used to gauge student knowledge after working with a robot teaching tool.Attitudinal surveys and questionnaires merely solicit a student’s perception and do not actuallymeasure changes in student knowledge. It is important for students to feel positive about robot-based learning interventions because then they are more likely to positively engage with thelearning process. A pre- and post test methodology can be used to quantify changes in studentknowledge through time, but requires the use of a student control group in order to measure theeducational contribution

The instructors of the course agreed that the quality of written work fromstudent to student and from assignment to assignment was inconsistent, and recommended that astandard template for students to follow might help them to better organize their work.

But beyond theagreed-upon merit of teaching systems physiology, there is little consensus on how best for BMEstudents to learn systems physiology, and what of this material to emphasize.As the knowledge base of biology and medicine changes with ever increasing speed— evolvingso rapidly as to require unprecedented on-the-job training by Biomedical Engineers— one couldargue that BME pre-professionals are best served by learning to apply systems physiology’sgoverning principles facilely to addressing unforeseen challenges.

The public at large becomes involved in this process primarilythrough the election of legislators. In addition, because state and federal legislation must gothrough “bicameralism and presentment” (passage by the legislative branch and signing by thePresident or governor, as appropriate), the public theoretically has another chance to

The model addresses the development of the studentfrom pK-12 through higher education to participate in the workforce.

. Educators may wish to examine whether a human rights lens isrelevant to their teaching.IntroductionThis paper will illustrate how the United Nations’1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights(UDHR) [1] can be used to frame ethics discussions in engineering. Engineering ethics in theU.S. are not typically taught or framed through the lens of human rights. A few notableexceptions include calls from Lynch [2] and Hoole [3] near the end of the United Nations’Decade on Human Rights Education (1995-2004). A human rights framework may be useful andbring engineering more in line with traditions in other professions. The paper first discussesprofessional ethics through a human rights lens, briefly comparing and contrasting differentprofessions. Next the

studies corroborate Downey’s claim. For example, Cech20 convincingly demonstrated that,while progressing through the core engineering curriculum, students’ interest in public welfaredeclined. Additionally, in their study on engineering senior design students, Downey & Lucena21illustrated the tendency of such students to resort to deterministic mindsets when approachinghighly social and ambiguous design problems.Though such Downey’s19 recommendation to “rethink and redefine [the technical] core” isinsightful, instructors of engineering science courses find scant resources available to help themimbue social competence and consciousness in engineering science courses.
