This paper will present issues indeploying the tools and the best practices for using these tools in capstone design courses.IntroductionTo become successful engineers, students must learn technical knowledge, good communication,skills, and teamwork skills. Traditional lecture-based coursework focuses on providing a solidtheoretical foundation and analytical skills for each of the various disciplines. On the other hand,laboratory courses and engineering design courses are often used to teach communication andteamwork skills4. Typical communication skills include, but are not limited to, maintaininglab/design notebooks, writing technical reports, and

In our paper, we fully describe our inverted model,share our experiences with it, and provide initial data supporting our claims.IntroductionThe inverted classroom model of teaching has widespread appeal in the educational community.The classroom is inverted or “flipped” because the lecturing occurs at home and activities aredone in class. Recent advances in online and educational technologies facilitate off-site lecturing,freeing the course instructor to guide students through challenging activities in class. It seemsthis model has

Electrical Engineering students as a culminating project in earning their degrees. I. Introduction & Background Research Popular interest in EVs has increased considerably in the past decade. Companies likeTesla have captured the public’s curiosity by delivering on their promise to produce highefficiency performance cars on a large scale. EVs possess several advantages over internalcombustion engine vehicles to include lower upkeep cost, the ability to produce a tremendousamount of torque instantaneously, and higher efficiency. As this technology transitions into themaritime industry, the USCG Maritime Safety Center has begun taking interest and provideddirection and support to this project.
