Previous team formation were done manually after students submitted theirtop five choices from the available projects and were time consuming and ineffective. Toimprove team composition and reduce formation time, mixed-integer linear programming isutilized to optimize the team formation process. The presented approach allows control of

An integral part ofthis innovation was the development of a web-based project management tool. While the mainobjectives of the new course design were achieved, a number of important lessons were learnedthat would guide the further development and continuous improvement of this course. The mostcritical of these is the need to achieve the optimum balance in the mind of the students betweendoing the project and critically analyzing the processes used to accomplish the work.IntroductionIn most industries, engineering is increasingly managed through projects.

To meet this challenge, it is imperative that the project topic be carefully chosen, as the topic is the genesis of the student’s efforts. This paper asserts that successful project topics should contain three key components: the project must be rigorous but within the student team’s capabilities, the students must feel that the project matters, and the topic must engage the interest of the project mentors

AbstractService-learning is a pedagogy which strives to integrate student learning with communityservice. In an engineering context, service-learning provides a project-based experience in whichstudents are confronted with real clients and problems, often of immediate need. In the context ofcourse development, however, many engineering faculty seem to feel that service learning isinfeasible in technical and/or large engineering courses, and that the overhead and opportunitycosts associated with service learning exceed the benefits received by students.This paper contemplates two years of service
