This paper will discuss how the presentations are prepared, the expected level ofcompetency, and integration of projects into an introductory design course. Design projects arecarefully selected to follow the industrial format and introduce students to architectural,mechanical, and electrical and electronic design. Through the implementation of design projectsinto the curriculum, students gain fundamental

These techniques can help develop some of the "people skills" andcommunication skills defined by the EIA.What about the labs?" The laboratory experience is a crucial part of an Engineering Technology(ET) curriculum. Computer simulation provides a separate, significant dimension to an ETcurriculum, but is in not a substitute for achieving necessary hands-on skills! The authors areproposing a hybrid model. It is important to review the reasons for having the lab experience.The laboratory component of a class has three primary functions: to help reinforce theory, toencourage students to learn how to use the test equipment, and to develop hands-on

Although there were concerns that thetechnical knowledge of new students might be insufficient to undertake a course in design,experience now shows that these courses can be successfully integrated into engineeringprograms as early as the first year7-12.Because design is a skill or behavior that is acquired with experience23 but also based ontechniques and tools10, it is advisable to offer students the opportunity to gain various experiencesthroughout their education from courses in engineering science and also from project-orientedcourses that specifically

faced with difficult tasks such as recruitment and retention ofstudents, curriculum integration of the project, and fund raising. We built the Solaraider II in1997 and participated in the Sunrayce 97 qualifier in Indianapolis. Our car did not pass thebraking test because it weighed 1250 lb and the braking system was not adequate. Theoverweight of the solar car was mainly because of the fiberglass body, array and nose. TheSolaraider III team was faced with the task of reducing the weight, installing new brakes andreducing the friction at all joints. Unlike many big schools, we do not have resources to build thecar using carbon fiber and titanium. However, we have several industry sponsors whosefacilities and service we utilized to make necessary

A surveywas distributed to engineering colleges throughout the US to discover how widespread service-learning and community-based projects are in engineering.IntroductionIn our collective experience, the mention of the term “service-learning” to engineering educatorsgenerally evokes one of three typical responses. The most common response is: "What isservice-learning anyway?" The next most typical is exemplified by the remark: "We do thatalready." The third is typified by: "We have no room in our curriculum to add anything moregiven all that ABET requires." The aim of this paper is to address these

component of engineering education,methods of providing undergraduate students with a significant design experience varywidely among disciplines and faculty. Dunn-Rankin, et. al.[1] state the "design training,though somewhat ill-defined, is crucial to enable graduating engineers to contribute intoday’s competitive manufacturing environment." A key aspect of this dilemma is thatdesign practices vary by discipline and project criteria. In surveying 47 companies ontheir priorities in manufacturing engineering education, Mason [2] notes that "theimportance of hands-on experience emphasized by the survey is a break from atraditional engineering curriculum."At the same time, it is recognized that workplace experience is a key factor in enabling

The learning objectives for the course state that studentswill learn about embedded systems, i.e., electrical systems that contain embedded computers tocontrol processes. At the completion of the course, each student should have actively participatedas a member of an engineering design team and made significant contributions to achieving theteam’s mission.
