problems, manage a project, and create value for a customer, either external orinternal [16]. In the U.S., the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)General Criterion 5.d. requires a culminating major engineering design experience that 1)incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple constraints, and 2) is based on theknowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work (ABET). Capstone courses and projects arewell-suited to providing such an experience. Consequently, capstones have become a de factorequirement in engineering education [16].In a series of national surveys and international counterparts, the longitudinal state ofengineering capstone design education over the past three decades has been assessed

Living in an International World: Assessing Students’ Global Awareness Somer Chipperfield, Kelly Yoder, Sadan Kulturel-Konak, Abdullah Konak Penn State Berks AbstractEngineers are now often working internationally and across diverse cultures in today’s globaleconomy. Therefore, students should become increasingly globally aware in order to be betterprepared for a career in an international knowledge-based society. Measuring students’ globalawareness is not a simple task. In this paper, our primary emphasis is on understanding Science,Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) students
) and the Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC) of the AccreditationBoard of Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET) [1,2]. Designing curricula and courses thatutilize these modern tools without short-changing coverage of classical engineering theory canbe a delicate balance. Consider the use of finite element analysis (FEA) software. In the1970’s and early 1980’s, most courses in FEA courses were taught at the graduate level, withheavy emphasis on theory. Later in the 1980’s and into the 1990’s, FEA classes were added atthe undergraduate level, as use of the tool became more widespread in industry. Becausecommercial FEA programs were complex to learn and use, it was difficult to combine significanttheory with instruction in how to use a

The activity used in this study was inspired by an industrialengineering class activity taught by one of the authors. The team develop hands-on and virtualreality manufacturing simulations that are conducted by students individually and in groups. Wecollect data via traditional paper-based measures as well as eye tracking technology. This studyonly presents the results and analysis from the paper-based measures. The eye tracking data willbe analyzed utilizing signal detection theory and presented in future research publications.3. Methods3.1 Students.
