We would expect stakeholders whohave frequent direct communication with members of the core team and problem owner to exerthigher levels of influence on design decisions than stakeholders who have indirectcommunication channels.A point of departure from conventional social network analysis for our study is that we considerthe role of stakeholder surrogates as part of the social network. Surrogates are likely to includenon

These two courses have the goal of immersingthe students in the real-life engineering problems where they are engaged in systematicapplication of the principles of design and solving open-ended problems for specificsituations and/or needs and in utilizing knowledge acquired during their studies at theUniversity. Design is about testing ideas, failures and successes and solving problems asthese appear during the semester. Decisions have to be made at each step of the process,compromises must be reached among the team members, optimization of components isdone and ultimately the project must be fabricated, tested and it must perform as stipulated,that is the requirement that the department has imposed on

As the goal is toexpose students to the tools they will need to solve actual problems, these classes are centeredaround team projects in a laboratory setting, with some lecture delivery in a supporting function.Physical distancing rules, as well as reduced/remote access of laboratories and equipment duringthe COVID-19 pandemic, posed significant challenges to the continued delivery and greatlyhindered achievement of the stated educational outcomes of these classes. A southwesterninstitution developed new and creative strategies to address these challenges while continuing tooperate under these constraints.

Marikunte, Ph.D., P.E.Penn State HarrisburgSaravanan Gurupackiam, Ph.D., P.E.Penn State HarrisburgAbstractIn many universities, capstone project is associated with an advanced course, which focus on theexpertise in one concentration area. This limits student learning of interdependency of otherdisciplines within the major for problem solving. At our program, we formulated a creative wayto use the traditional course offering yet provide an opportunity for students to work on an inter-disciplinary project in civil engineering. Students from three concentration areas within civilengineering (structures, construction, and transportation) were offered an

For the nursing students, with practical training andexperience in various hospital environments including some ER, this provided an opportunity tovalue observation of details and articulate the need for a functional ER room to the engineers.Extra credit was given for features that addressed COVID-19.1. Value of collaborative projectsThe benefits of collaborative multidisciplinary projects are well known. They enhance theability of students to communicate across disciplinary lines. Students may also learn how tolisten to a customer and develop ideas based on incomplete information. Typicallymultidisciplinary projects involve students from different fields of engineering. For this project,engineering students

ExperiencesAuthenticity [1] is a goal for many instructors when developing design experiences for first yearengineering students. Some of the perception of authenticity comes through the clients, eitherreal or imagined, with real clients having an understandable advantage in this perception. For thisreason, many institutions pull in industry partners looking to solve real world problems.However, for smaller classes of first year students, it can be difficult to draw in industry partners.In such cases, instructors may instead look to service learning opportunities [2], partnering withlocal community members as clients. In this paper, the author discusses one such partnership andtakes a five-year retrospective look at the projects and the process used from the

(ECU)developed a modular Six Sigma Green Belt (SSGB) course to deliver the Six Sigma body ofknowledge to customers. Since the Six Sigma process is also used in the development of finalproducts in manufacturing, it is anticipated that other researchers and academicians will benefitfrom the lessons learned in creating this training product.OverviewOnce the need for the modular Six Sigma Green Belt (SSGB) course was determined, the DMAICprocess most often used for Six Sigma projects was deployed. Tollgates to move from one phase ofthe process to another were utilized in managing the project. This process helped ensure that aneed to backtrack did not occur. The body of this paper describes each phase of the DMAICprocess along with an overview of

The projects included an attempt to explorea contrarian viewpoint by evaluating “bad” plastics, design of a shower without electricity and thedesign of a heat exchanger for commercial scale brewery. The projects were all evaluated usingstudent surveys and post implementation reflection by the faculty.
