growing component of engineering education in the UnitedStates. Its perceived educational value is exemplified by its explicit mention in ABET’sCriterion 5, which requires engineering programs to provide a culminating design experience thatincorporates engineering standards and multiple constraints. Capstone courses and design-build-test projects allow students to synthesize and apply engineering knowledge, skills, and tools toopen-ended design problems. Students work and communicate in teams to complete tasks likegenerating requirements, and testing and integrating equipment. There appears to be widespreadconsensus that project-based learning is valuable, but, how well do these projects prepare studentsfor engineering challenges in professional
Mechanical Engineering. The study uses a material-semioticapproach based on actor-network theory (ANT), which focuses on the interactions betweenpeople, things, and ideas within a constantly shifting network. That approach is used to study theintersections between students’ network of academic practice and the network of industry-basedpractice that they are preparing to enter. Specifically, it looks at how industry-based problemsand examples are represented in material aspects of students’ academic practice throughhomework, lecture slides, and other course materials.The study was designed to provide a foundation for a new initiative being launched in Spring2019. That initiative is part of a multi-year effort in the Department of Mechanical
that the flexibility indeveloping video content is a good opportunity to fix the content and seeks to continue addingnew content or make changes to reflect accumulated experience and student feedback.The course under considerationThe Electrical Circuits is an undergraduate level course at Missouri S&T intended for non-EEstudents. The content primarily includes AC circuit steady-state analysis covering single andpoly-phase circuits with emphasis on applications like transformers, induction machines andfrequency response. DC circuit analysis is used as a special case to introduce the basiccomponents and basic analysis techniques. Primarily, students from Mechanical Engineering,Civil Engineering and Engineering Management departments take
physics to other disciplines.Ms. Jill Davishahl, Western Washington University Jill Davishahl is the Director of Pre-Engineering Program Development and faculty member at West- ern Washington University. She spends her time teaching, developing and implementing innovative cur- riculum, and managing National Science Foundation grants. She is passionate about inspiring the next generation of engineering students to think outside of the box, especially those that are walking along a non-traditional pathway.Dr. Lee Singleton, Whatcom Community College Lee Singleton is a professor at Whatcom Community College, in Bellingham, WA.
