key to multidisciplinary engineeringpractice? A physical model of a design concept, based on simplifying assumptions (whichchange as the project progresses and one learns better what effects matter more than others), iscreated. This is an approximation of the real system and a hierarchy of models is possibledepending on the reason for modeling (see Figure 2). Laws of nature (e.g., Newton’s Laws,Maxwell’s Equations) are applied to the model, along with component model equations, togenerate the equations of motion for the multidisciplinary engineering system. These equations– nonlinear and coupled – are solved with Simulink, SimMechanics, SimHydraulics, LabVIEW,etc. to predict how the model will behave when various inputs – desired and

The course, which has been designed and taught by an engineeringprofessor, is part of the College of Liberal Arts’ Senior Capstone program and is offered tostudents from any college in the university. The course structure encourages students to viewcontemporary issues from an organizational, personal and technical perspective. The presence ofboth engineering students and liberal arts students in the same class allows students to shareknowledge and break down stereotypes as they study accomplishments in the fields ofengineering and science.Introduction The practice of engineering is not conducted in a vacuum. Engineering accomplishmentsaffect society and, conversely society affects what engineers can accomplish. As

New educational modules developedfor the Fall 2021 semester include (1) genetic algorithms for design optimization; (2)classification via machine learning; (3) convolutional neural network and its application forimage processing; (4) signal analyses and fault diagnosis; and (5) reinforcement learning formotion planning. Each module consists of concept explanation, algorithm delivery, real-worldapplication, and python sample codes. The modules can be used as the reference for students incourse projects (not limited to ME:4150) and capstone projects.A project on image-based ship classification was added to the course.

learning styles. As the studentsbecome more comfortable with group work, the amount of structure imposed can be reduced.For example, the four-year design sequence at Trinity begins in the first year with a verystructured project, with the instructor and the class working on a portion of the design sequencetogether. Sophomore and junior design emphasize small group projects of 2-5 students, witheach group completing the same designs. By the senior year, the capstone design project hassmall interdisciplinary groups of 4-5 students selecting their own projects, setting their owngoals, and evaluating how well they have achieved them. Regardless of the instructor-imposedstructure, clear guidelines for group projects, along with pre-specified rules for

Both humanistic inquiry and making activities have longbeen a part of PDI; however, these two have not yet been theorized as complementary, norexplicitly taught and assigned as a synthesized series of making projects or activities. Over thepast three semesters, Making as Critical Inquiry has been iterated into our STS Senior Projectcourse, a requirement for all PDI students at Rensselaer. While the Capstone

However, the ME403 syllabus was already so full that it wasdifficult to find time for more machining instruction without eliminating or reducing other veryimportant subject matter.The initial part of the solution was gaining approval to add a lab hour to the course. Thisallowed the course director to add seven additional mandatory hours of instruction to the courseand it ensured that students’ schedules would be set up so that they would be free during the hourfollowing class even on days without a second hour of mandatory instruction. This improved theability of students to stay after class to ask questions and work on assignments and it allowed

EDUCATION AND TRAININGAbstractCombining teaching, research, and engagement has always been a goal of EngineeringTechnology faculty. Finding “real world” applications which can be implemented at theundergraduate level has always proved challenging as well. One method of achieving thisis to define an application area which can be managed by responsible faculty and whichcan be broken into small enough tasks to be suitable for completion by succeeding yearsof undergraduate students in their capstone design activity.At Western Carolina University and Florida Institute of Technology, a project has beenundertaken which is achieving many of these goals.

This paper outlines the inclusion of a course called Computer Aided Engineering (CAE),which would traditionally be offered at the graduate level, into an undergraduate curriculum as atool to educate and train students early-on as industry-ready professionals. A junior-level course,CAE consists of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA),Computer Aided Design (CAD) and optimization. Although students get trained to use CADsoftware as freshmen, they need additional training on analysis and optimization of engineeringsystems prior to capstone design series.
