This trend ofbreaking away from traditional approaches was initiated over a decade ago with the introductionof several concepts or logistics such as Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS), Computer-AidedDesign and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM), Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), QualityFunction Deployment (QFD), and Just in Time (JIT). These concepts and others were rapidlythrust onto engineering firms by consultants, to assist them in designing and manufacturing high-quality products at lower costs and in time to meet market demands.Many researchers have been promoting the idea that some of these concepts could beincorporated and utilized within a CE environment.

To foster the gap between academia and industry,hands-on training in modern tools, and creating opportunities for students to align theirtheoretical knowledge with practical experience is important. Without these measures, studentsincur the risk of starting their careers without the skills needed to tackle the complex challengesthey will face.In response to this need the National Science Foundation (NSF), stepped in by launching acollaborative initiative of the Intelligent Edge Computing Systems (iEDGE) by establishing aResearch Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program during summer 2024.

Hence, the course’s intention is to bring them into contact with the German cultureand the educational system they will be facing later on. Additionally they are enabled to comeinto contact with their future classmates at a very early stage. On the other hand the course isdesigned to enable the students in general to work effectively in international teams, whichcan be seen as one of the future core competence for engineers needed in professional con-texts, either at scientific institutions or in industry. This requires that the students developpractice based intercultural competences in real intercultural

However, what seems tobe lacking in this academic push is the hands on side of it. Engineering simply just isn’t about equations,but actually design and developing as well as fabricating a physical product. Something you can touch andin most cases see work. The Engineering Technology field fits into STEM academics and is very important.In order for

Inaddition, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) accreditation criteriarequire that graduates of engineering programs possess “an ability to design and conductexperiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data” [1] and “an ability to design a system,component or process to meet desired needs” [1].Very recently, the Design-Build-Test (DBT) concept was suggested by Abu-Mulaweh [2] to beused in creating an experiment for a junior-level heat transfer laboratory. In that experiment,student teams design, build, and test a

It is concludedthat the capstone course, while worthy of a spot in the curriculum, is not an effective tool forassessing program outcomes. The 5 year history at SPSU strongly supports t his conclusion.Effective Outcomes Assessment:Educators by their very nature are skeptics. Having reviewed and graded hundreds uponhundreds of student papers, the words outcomes assessment are often interpreted as facultyevaluation regardless of what administrators or o thers may say. Unfortunately, faculty are oftencorrect in their assumption that outcomes assessment
