In asimilar vein, the wastewater treatment and conveyance infrastructure received a grade of D+ with aprojected annual infrastructure investment gap of $81 Billion. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) isbased on the broad idea that structural and environmental characteristics be monitored regularly to ensureinfrastructure assets are repaired and rehabilitated in a timely manner to avoid further deterioration andfailure (Housner et al., 1997). While SHM has been actively researched since 1970s, the transition topractical field applications has largely been slow (Cawley, 2018). However, advancements in sensortechnologies

analyzed using the MAXQDA [7] qualitative analysis software, aprofessional software package for qualitative and mixed methods research. The software enablesanalysis of data, including documents of all kinds, audio/video files, etc., and importantly for thisstudy, survey responses. Data can be coded using custom or in vivo codes and results can besearched and cross referenced. Additionally, MAXQDA provides a variety of tools forvisualizing and analyzing the resulting coded data. Coding was conducted in three broad phases:Phase 1: An initial parse of the data was conducted and student responses were coded usingterms most prevalent/appropriate to the response narrative. Many of these codes were based onin vivo text from the student response. At this

Session ETD 465ConceptsIn addition to the items explained above, some overall concepts are helpful to orient instructorsnew to ethics.Do No Harm. As the prime directive of ethics, all professionals should refrain from actions thatresult in harm of any type: physical, psychological, financial, legal. Initially associated withmedicine and erroneously ascribed to the Hippocratic Oath, primum non nocere came intowidespread usage in the early 20th century18 and has served as a guide for professional practicein any area related to the public good. Engineering codes capture this concept in FundamentalCanon #1, and public safety is at the forefront of a designer’s mind, especially those workingwith structures and consumer products.It is important to note
ECE students (for a course total of 86) are currentlyenrolled for the spring, 2003. It is anticipated that between 100 and 120 students fromthe three departments will eventually be enrolled in the course each fall and springsemester on a continuing basis.Anticipating the significant increase in enrollment in the course and the need for a largerand more diverse instructor base, the other two authors of this paper were assigned towork with Ross Kastor on the course beginning in the spring of 2002. Our initial taskwas to evaluate and “upgrade”, if necessary, the course content and operations andprepare for nearly a tripling of the course throughput, from less than 100 students a yearto more than 200. The second task was to team-teach the course

As engineers in the company, students are members of a team in one ofmany divisions. Each team consists of two majors from each discipline including civil orenvironmental engineering, computer science and engineering, electrical engineering andmechanical engineering. After being introduced to the company’s culture, and learning their roles in theorganization, students are presented with an engineering problem by a customer. Theremainder of the course is spent completing requirements capture, problem analysis,designing, building, and testing a solution. During the initial offering of EngineeringDesign II in the

the concepts themselves. The usual goal of a concept inventory is to helpeducators to determine if their students understand the concepts of a field, rather than simply beingable to implement procedures. In the case of functional reasoning, the concept inventory may helpto define its conceptual underpinning. The impact of a concept inventory on education in designcould be to initiate changes in the way that function is taught.2 Background: Delphi method, concept inventories, and functional reasoningThe exposition of this project depends upon a basic understanding of the definitions of functionalreasoning in engineering design, concept inventories, and the Delphi method. These three ideasare thus reviewed briefly

seekassistance to increase their teaching skills. For various reasons (research, too many classes, highservice load, etc.), there is a large population of teachers between the groups described abovewho could use help increasing their teaching and communication skills as shown in the middlelevels of the teaching skills hierarchy in Figure 1. This population of teachers may not attendMTEI programming, but will frequently respond well to information tied to their specificcourse(s) that is timely and time efficient to implement. Reaching all faculty, including in thislast group, has guided the design and implementation of the mid-semester course feedbackprogram.MTEI is supported and mentored by very successful alumni and we value the insights andexternal
skills. The format of typical capstone design lectures seems slow and the topics of lectures are outside their typical scope. 2. Project and time management: Prior to the capstone course, many students have not developed adequate time management skills to handle a year-long project. In typical classes, students are kept on track through the regular submission of coursework and scheduled exams. Except for the initial research phase of design, regularly scheduled coursework is not conducive to the iterative design process that occurs in real life and in the capstone course. For this reason, many students have a hard time staying on track, and find themselves scrambling during the last half of the second

assignment generated 500 - 600 responses (most in short bulleted points and some longer).Every student responded to all questions asked. The method worked well and the students hadsuitable experience with Power Point to do the evaluation. There are drawbacks that studentscan research answers to questions rather than speaking from their current viewpoint and theanalysis of an open-ended procedure is more time intensive than a scaled approach. For thepurposes of this beginning initiative for the design course, the procedure seemed appropriate.For the next term, students will be asked to handwrite a Power Point presentation during class sothere isn’t the opportunity to do research.For the post Power Point assignment, there were few changes made but

This report included significant feedback on the effectiveness of the multidis- ciplinary teamwork, as well as suggestions for how this aspect of the course might be improved. 7. Post-Presentation Interviews of Cross-Disciplinary Teams • Within a few days of each team’s project presentation at the end of the course, the team met with the assessor to re- view the cross-disciplinary aspects of the project and the course as a whole. 8.

content change in the 2004 Spring semester pilot was an increased emphasison design and the design process, embodied in two open-ended design projects. For the firstproject, the instructor provided content information as needed while guiding the students step bystep through the design process. Emphasis was placed on the acquisition of skills (for example,technical and graphical communication, teamwork, project management) and an understandingof the steps and the tools used in the initial stages of the design process (for example, customerneeds analysis, decision making, product dissection, patent analysis, concept generationmethods). The second project (and the second half of the semester) focused on the transferenceof what was learnt in project

presented.IntroductionIn July of 2003, a feasibility assessment and preliminary planning process was initiated forcreation of an engineering program at ASU East Campus. This process resulted in a plan todevelop a new engineering program at ASU’s East Campus. The need for this program is drivenby the rapid population growth of the Phoenix metropolitan area, capacity restrictions at ASU’sTempe campus and at other state universities, forecasts of engineering student and industrydemand, and a desire to develop a polytechnic campus at ASU.Unlike many curriculum development or reform efforts, the development of this new programbegan with a blank slate. This has given the founding faculty team unprecedented freedom andflexibility in the design of this program, resulting
