This paper will review in depth three different modules created and presented to students.The projects vary from elective courses (intro to biotechnology and polymer science) to requiredcourses (heat transfer operations and process design). 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. The authors believe these samemodules can be implemented in similar classes at other institutions with equal success.Background The National Academy of

These tools are useful for both teaching and research in fieldsoutside of ECE, but require the traditional understanding of basic electrical circuits andprogramming methodology in order to be effective. This dilemma led to development of a coursefor non-engineers to allow such technologies to be used effectively. Students participated from adiverse array of fields, including agriculture, animal science, biology, finance, fine arts, physicsand statistics. The pedagogical approach used was a combination of traditional short lectures,hands-on small lab projects performed in two-person student teams, and a team-selected specialproject

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

applied and leveraged to enhance the capstone experience thatentails industry sponsored design and build style projects. The ability to comfortably interactwith professionals in an industrial environment, manage projects entailing interactions withother portions of the business outside of engineering such as purchasing, skilled trades,marketing, sales and others allows a wide variety of challenging projects to be considered for thecapstone design course. Frequently capstone projects are proposed by companies that currentlyhave one or more co-op students. If appropriate, the co-op student acts as the point of contactbetween the student team and the industry sponsor. This minimizes the amount ofmiscommunication and also allows faster turn-around
