To effectively demonstrateunderstanding of learning objectives, students must communicate clearly to a wide range ofaudiences, including instructors, other team members, and the project client.

can result in conflict or issues when completing project tasks. AtUniversity of Indianapolis’ R.B. Annis School of Engineering, we noticed that student interestlevel in a project topic is a significant factor toward commitment and contribution to projectcompletion.Our institution’s senior capstone course requires students to participate in design projects asmembers of multidisciplinary teams solving open-ended real-world problems. Assigning studentsto projects can be a complicated process, especially considering student preferences, majors,skills, and the needs/nature of the project. We are a young program continuing to grow and areinterested in a systematic approach to assign teams. Currently, a rank-based survey is used togauge student
in continuous improvements of thecourse. These lessons will also be applied to the instructor’s capstone course projects which oftenfocus on product development. Additional documentation of the work will be also published in theform of “Scholarship and Teaching of Learning (SoTL) in the near future.11.2 MethodsThe student groups were tasked to design a product (possibly a fastener, a light fixture, or aconstruction toy) with 4-6 components based on the idea of biomimicking climbing plants. Thedesign was expected to have an obvious art component via use of industrial design, also includingaesthetics, colors, or movements. Students were to follow the steps of the product developmentprocess with additional assignments being interjected into the

, whereas the 'Advanced' level represents the described learningoutcome itself, indicating that the student developed the competency at a fundamental level.The intermediate levels, 'Under Development' and 'Satisfactory,' differ based on the degree ofcomplexity of the verb used in the rubric's description. Table 3 provides an example of a rubric for competency 14, which is called“Communicate orally, written and graphically”. The initial level of competency 14 isevaluated in the third semester through the “Quality Engineering” course. The intermediatelevel is evaluated in the seventh semester in the “Service Management” course, while thefinal level is evaluated in the ninth semester through the “Capstone Project” course. For eachtype of knowledge
research is associated with the Modernization of Undergraduate Education Program(PMG), supported by FULBRIGHT, CAPES, and U.S. Embassy in Brazil [26]. Industrialengineering at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul is one of the participatingcourses. This public university has participated in this project since 2019, with professors onmissions to partner with North American institutions [26], [27]. 2. MethodologyTo investigate whether the teaching strategies present in North American universities can beused in Brazilian universities, an investigation of different necessary factors was carried outin loco. For this, we used a qualitative and descriptive study to highlight the main points usedby these teaching methodologies from the perception
for engineering capstone design projects.2.3. Industrial Innovation Sciences Course Teaching Method and Pedagogies:Industrial Innovation Science was a survey and analysis course that aimed to develop anunderstanding of the basic elements of innovation, processes, and models for innovating,managing innovation, and how organizations innovate, all important considerations for designingfuture organizations and how work might be embodied in future organizations while stillretaining innovation goals. In particular, artificial intelligence is already upending the creativityskill requirements in workplaces further emphasizing the need for students to strengthen theirinnovation skills and perhaps co-innovate with technologies of the future, and co
