Students reported that the projects positively contributed to theirunderstanding of course material. We also found that students’ awareness of the GrandChallenges and the role that signal processing can have in finding solutions increased. A numberof students indicated that they plan to pursue more in-depth projects inspired by what theylearned during the laboratory.1. IntroductionThe National Academy of Engineering (NAE) has identified a set of fourteen Grand Challengesfor current engineering research and practice. These include such diverse topics as reverse-engineering the brain

In the initial course, “Optical Communications (EE566)”the students do a research project and submit a report as their final course project. Theprojects mainly deal with the design criteria and requirements for the current generationof optical systems used in communications, networking, devices, and various otherapplications. During the course the students learn the design aspects and principles ofvarious photonic
. Forthat reason, capstone projects are increasingly used as a result of both ABET (AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology) requirements and strong consensus among educators andindustry that students need hands-on practical design experiences. Capstone projects may be oneof the best ways to evaluate how well students have learned to apply technical competencies [8,9]. In fact, the ability to assimilate, assess, and apply knowledge while building deeper levels ofunderstanding demonstrates mastery [10, 11].Although literature about capstone use in engineering confirms its usefulness in the academythere is limited studies regarding graduate-level capstone use in engineering. Reviews of priorresearch revealed that there are studies on

Education, 2017 Switching Midstream, Floundering Early, and Tolerance for Ambiguity: How Capstone Students Cope with Changing and Delayed ProjectsAbstractIndustry-sponsored projects are a staple of senior capstone design, and provide our advanced levelstudents with valuable real-world experience. Because of the many players involved in an industrial-sponsored project, there are occasionally changes of scope or project goal adjustments that may occurmidstream; this can be frustrating to students, despite best practices in selecting and vetting all projectsources. Similarly, there have been research-based as well as industry-based projects that have been slowto launch, taking an inordinate amount of time in the first of the two capstone

(iii) Improve accuracy, efficiency and practicality. (iv) Information on the most influencing parameters, which leads to a reduced CFD analysis matrix, requires sensitivities of objectives and constraints with respect to design variables. (v) The ability to design with a variety of aerodynamic and geometric constraints and geometric flexibility, i.e. the type and the number of design variables and efficient parameterization.

First, the instrument can be used to evaluate the authenticity level for engineeringlearning in communities of practice. Besides, many new engineering initiatives such as PBL andExperiential learning have focused on the creation of authentic learning contexts. So future research canuse the instrument to make a further understanding of the authenticity in different kinds of engineeringlearning situations. Additionally, previous research have demonstrated the importance of authentic learningin some design-based learning environments like engineering education [30], but
.5. Multidisciplinary Learning: Instructors can incorporate civility as a multidisciplinary topicassignment. The instructor can develop a “current topic assignment” where students are requiredto research or discuss a non-technical issue related to their careers. For example, the 2016 U.S.Presidential Campaigns present an opportunity for students to discuss the candidates’ leadershipabilities and policy ideas. When considering the controversial rhetoric spoken by somecandidates, civility can also be discussed. The election of a new U.S. President is relevant forengineering and technology students since it impacts their education and careers. Table 14provides an example of the potential Components of Civility that can be satisfied using
