. Listening to “happy” music [5] may alsoimprove mood and lead to an increase in cooperative behavior.In the capstone design course that is the subject of this paper, working out the team dynamics is aone-time activity. However, studies of team function over time show that – as expected – teameffectiveness may vary over the duration of a long project. While capstone design is far lessintense than long duration space missions (although students may claim otherwise), studies of theperformance over time of teams operating in extreme situations has shown that crews’ abilities tothink divergently and make choices as a group decreased over time, while ethical decisionmaking and ability to execute tasks stayed relatively constant and increased, respectively

This platform should beaccessible to instructors internationally, while also fostering a collaborative environment whereinstructors can comment, edit, and contribute to the continuous improvement of the materials.5.

professional degree programs will become the norm in theimmediate future. On the other hand, most engineers will acknowledge that continuing educationis necessary to keep engineers current and provide adequate growth opportunities. What theymay not agree on is the notion that continuing education should be mandated. Hamptonidentified continuing education as one of three areas needing serious and immediate attention toachieve a total commitment to quality in the civil engineering profession; when he wrote thisarticle only three states had continuing education requirements.Let’s examine Fundamental Canon #7 from the Code of Ethics of Engineers. It states: 7. Engineers shall continue their professional development throughout their

Measurable OutcomesBased on the above objectives, the outcomes are that all graduating students will have • an ability to apply broad knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering, • an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret

Storytelling as an Effective Mean for Stimulating Students' Passion in Engineering ClassesAbstractStorytelling was employed as a powerful tool in stimulating students' interest in the classroom ofa sophomore level course in engineering design. Over two years, students’ assessment of themethodology was obtained through a survey that incorporated students that have and not havetaken the course. The outcome of students’ satisfaction and support of telling stories by theinstructor was overwhelming among both groups of students. The impact was not targetedtowards just creating passion in the classroom, but the active participation and reflection on thestories was sought to lead to ethical values pedagogy.

Deconstructing Engineering Design Steven H. VanderLeest Department of Engineering, Calvin College, Grand Rapids, MI1 AbstractPostmodernism has swept through disciplines from literature to philosophy, from politics tosociology. But what does postmodernism have to do with engineering or more specifically,engineering education? Postmodernism may be the cure to several common ills, such asstudents becoming overly reliant on engineering models or computer simulations, lack ofdiversity (both in design teams and in the designs themselves), and lack of accountability due toa belief that technology is ethically neutral. However, postmodernism also presents some
work experiences, they are used to help assess theprogram outcomes. Thus the sometimes-sparse input obtained by conventional contactwith an industrial advisory board or by employer surveys is expanded upon. Thisassessment of designated program outcomes by external constituents is particularlyvaluable for the hard to assess “professional skills” outcomes of h-k (ABET Criterion 2,Program Outcomes). These are as follows: h. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in lifelong learning, i. an ability to understand professional, ethical and social responsibilities, j. a respect for diversity and a knowledge of contemporary professional, societal and global issues, and k. a commitment to quality

It could be a videoclip captured with a digital camera, a digital video playing on their laptop, or digital images capturedwith their camera phone. This paper reviews and discusses how an FPGA platform was selected andintegrated with a QVGA(320x240) color display. It details how an eight lab sequence was developed toallow the students to accomplish a project goal of playing a video image sequence on the QVGAdisplay. This paper also illustrates how additional ABET outcomes such as applied technical problemsolving, technical writing, configuration management, team dynamics, communications, and ethics wereintegrated into the course content.IntroductionRochester Institute of

, i.e. the operation and management of a manufacturing system.There is a need to develop and demonstrate capability to analyze resource requirements, to solveproblems, and the planing and implementing of projects, including the measurement and qualitycontrol aspects. A key concomitant is to develop an appreciation of the relationships betweendesign, organization, plans, measurements, controls and results. An additional and more topicalrecent challenge has lead to the consideration of both ethical and global concerns as componentsof the problem set.As this author has pointed out in prior papers all business and industrial activities are capable ofbeing analyzed and understood as “manufacturing systems.” Thus, accounting, banking, finance
