Session 2149 Innovative Student Research Projects Alok K. Verma Old Dominion UniversityI. IntroductionSenior or Capstone project courses are part of majority of the Engineering TechnologyCurriculum. This is partly because of the faculty’s desire to assess student’s ability to apply theknowledge acquired and, partly because of the mandate by the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET). A number of papers have been published on the topic ofsenior projects and the necessity for providing realistic engineering experience 1,2,3
(i.e. junior year) elective course for manufacturing andmechanical engineering majors. The student assessment tools employed were: Six take-home assignments, 5% each = a total of 30% towards final grade A term project = 30% towards final grade Mid-term written exam, 20% towards final grade Final comprehensive written exam, 20% towards final grade2.3 Course CurriculumFollowing points were included in course curriculum dealing with service design: Role of Services in an Economy Nature of Services Service Strategies New Service Development Integrating Technology in Services Service Quality Assessment and Maintenance Supporting Facility and Process Flows Service Process Improvement

. This theory is based on ideasseveral fields including philosophy (John Locke), science studies (Bruno Latour),history of technology (Eugene Ferguson), and cognitive science (DonaldNorman). In this paper, I will outline this theory by developing six propositions.In laying out these propositions, I will touch on the ways in which this theoryhelps us to define engineering as a distinct profession and I will provideexamples from my course. Before turning to the propositions, let me offer a word about my Page 8.1203.1communications course. All undergraduate engineers at UVa are required to

The FANUC robotics platform isdesigned as a user-friendly, adaptable solution [2].The Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) Department currently has a strong curriculum inrobotics training, specifically on the FANUC platform. Due to the greater push for robotics inindustry and automation processes, the department has increased its focus on these areas. Theproject required by the Material Science Department provides an excellent opportunity forstudents in the Senior Design program to implement their skills in a highly relatable way.Required with the project calls for making an analysis of the physical dimensions of thelaboratory to decide where the best location to place the robot would be.

CAD inclusion can be extensive andextremely complimentary without sacrificing instructor time, program requirements, or criticaltopic coverage.1.0 IntroductionPacking Engineering curricula with more and more courses is one way to satisfy the demands ofABET 13 as well as incorporate new technology to keep pace with industry advances 11,16,22.Certainly, the “Just-In-Time” approach has been used – new engineers learning softwarepackages “independently” or through training classes after graduation 16,22. This approach hasproven less than desirable for students as well as employers – taking extra time and money awayfrom production, and, many times learning tools out of the useful integration of knowledgecontext 10. In particular, different options

computer becomes the data acquisition system for the lab.BackgroundIn the fall of 2000, Lawrence Technological University (LTU) began requiring that all enteringfreshmen have a laptop computer. In each succeeding year, the next class rank (i.e. sophomoresin fall 2001) would be required to have a laptop. The laptops are a standard model leased by theunversity to the students and regularly upgraded. Student laptops that develop problems arefixed by the help desk or exchanged if the problem is too serious to fix quickly. They are pre-loaded with a standard set of software for each college. For example, all engineering laptops arepre-loaded with a high-end CAD program, programming language, equation solver, and officesoftware. Students who wish to use

particularlyrooted in the American psyche. This is the belief that people should be rewarded in tangibleways for exceptional performance. Such rewards are considered to be a normal part of our freeenterprise system. Given the extensive use of merit pay systems in industry and the fact thatmost engineering technology faculty come out of industry, such faculty at least understand theconcept of merit pay if not support it in an academic environment. Another rationale oftenexpressed is that by rewarding exceptional performance, we are required to evaluate faculty andthrough that evaluative process, recognize those who are doing an outstanding job. However,such a reward system also needs to be coupled with a post-tenure review system which willprovide a
