ABET criterion 5 essentially requires a summative project, which is oftendelivered through a capstone course [28]. For students, these courses represent an opportunity toapply their training and skills to a problem relevant to the domain of their studies. It could beargued that a capstone course is one of the most effective courses by design, given that

While students are able to ask theirquestions, there is no requirement that they do so to avoid development of artificial orconstrained questions for fear of peer and instructor judgement [12]. Some example questionsthat lead to next steps will be discussed in one of the first lab sections to model how askingquestions can move a project forward.Students then are tasked with designing an experiment to measure the values they need with theequipment they are given. There are often multiple ways a student could successfully approachthe problem. In early labs, the class will come together

Effectiveness and practicality of designs should be key components of the evaluation of students’ work.If design projects are used, students should be required to develop, follow, and periodicallyprogress report on their design developments. Evaluation should consider the quality of thepresentations and the professionalism demonstrated by the students.The proposed IPFC-IMD system, which is implemented mainly with discrete components,provides various teaching components to enhance EMET 325 Electric Drives course.

teaching and research include inadequate methodology [11],curriculum constraints and the insufficient background knowledge of most undergraduates [12].To effectively and seamlessly incorporate research into classroom activities therefore, it is im-perative to emphasize just those aspects which can reinforce course content without putting toomuch strain on the curriculum and students, and to choose a pedagogy which does this engag-ingly [13]. In line with this, approaches that include problem-based, project- based [14] and in-quiry-based learning [15], have been recommended as the best pedagogies for bringing researchinto the classroom [8].We report on an example of bringing an idea from technical research in the form of a novel mi-crochannel
