The right side forms anarea of study we call sustainable design.

One challenge associated with instructingCapstone Design is the wide variation in background students bring to the course, both inacademic knowledge and internship or work experience. Additionally, a one semester Capstonehas challenges of placing high academic demands on students due to both lecture material andthe capstone project being completed in the same semester. Compounding this challenge is thedivision of duties among the team within the project. In an effort to increase student agency anddecrease workload on the students, instructor, and teaching assistants, a competency-basedgrading approach was explored.

Perhaps the most rewarding on-campus activity, asdiscussed below, has been the involvement of these students in laboratory development,primarily through senior design classes (Capstone projects).3. The Laboratory Beginning in 2000, the faculty began a concerted effort to develop and equip a newlaboratory in the Energy Systems area. The focus of the efforts was to create a modernlaboratory that would allow us to explore concepts at a system level and then graduallyexpose students to the details of individual pieces of equipment, including design, testingand operational issues. The “Systems” approach, outlined in Table 1, is consistent with ourrecent curriculum review. It

Thisserves the need for an interpretation that could apply to all projects.Direct assessment of this capability could be done by requiring students to include a section intheir capstone design report that lists engineering disciplines other than their own that they wouldinteract with, and what kinds of information would be exchanged. Specifically, they would haveto describe the information that they need from other disciplines, and what information wouldother disciplines need from them. A grade on that specific section of the report would then serveto provide data for assessment of this

By using the application, it is possible to capturethe packets from the device’s network connection to get the IP address of the device. Aftermanaging to capture some packets, one would need to look through them to find out if it came fromthe same location as the device is located at. Upon discovery of the IP address as you look it up,with certain IP address lookups sites, it would indicate if that were the address you are looking for.Once there is confirmation, the next process is set in the next phase of testing.

Student academicprojects (at least up to PhD level) are usually: 1. Undertaken by individuals or a small group. The participants do not have much variety or depth in the experience they bring to the project. 2. Short in duration. Even a capstone project is only equivalent to about a month of full-time energetic project work. That’s not long to learn practical techniques. 3. Not part of a continuous development scheme where one project depends on the timely delivery of results from another. 4. Learning-focused. That means that although a project may be funded by a

This approach will allow students fromdifferent programs and departments to work together on projects that simulate real workingenvironment scenarios.
