However, many, if not most, engineering academic curricula allowlittle or no room for professional practice other than minimal capstone projects. In thosethat do, the approach is widely scattered.

At the core of theproject is a student-developed Capital Budgeting simulation model. This model is used both as atool for examining the effectiveness of existing capital project ranking methods such as IRR,NPV, and Payback, and also as a research platform for testing new ranking and selectionmethods. The project consists of three phases. The first phase is comprised of individual workwhere students design and program a basic Capital Budgeting simulation model using MicrosoftExcel and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). During the second phase, students transitioninto small self-selected teams to validate and then expand

The pairingof the experimental projects course and the practicum provides an environment for teaching communicationsskills in which the students are interested in the subject matter and motivated to learn. In addition, a variety ofmodern information technologies are applied to augment the effectiveness of the practicum. Several pedagogi-cal themes are interwoven into the two courses including

Each team is required to carry out four mechanical componentprojects and write project reports and make presentations. Each project covers a time period ofthree to four weeks. For example, fasteners and springs projects are projects that require threeweeks; bearings and gears projects require four weeks.

A Massively Large Student Modeling Assignment (MLSMA) Dr. Jon M.

One consideration that confounds a successful capstone project is matching a task of sufficient significance with realistic expectations of student success. Students may possess the requisite skills but a project that tests those skills may be difficult to identify. But more likely

, students are typically given simple thermal cycles toanalyze to introduce them to both the cycles and thermodynamic principles. In some curriculacycle design and optimization are not included at all, whereas in others these topics are includedonly in elective courses in thermal system design. A few schools include the topics in coursesrequired of all mechanical engineering students. As a result, many students may never beinvolved in either cycle design or optimization. For those who do take an advanced coursecovering these topics, an early introduction will make the transition from purely analysis todesign easier. Thus, thermodynamic cycle design and optimization should be introduced as soonas possible. This paper discusses design projects that

Emphasis is on teamwork, communications skills, and computer-aided analytical tools. Activities include prototypebuilding and testing with industrial collaboration. As students complete this course beforechoosing a major in the College of Engineering, the technical content is general and does notfocus on a particular engineering discipline. In contrast, the senior capstone design courserequires students to apply the tools acquired in both required courses and technical electiveswithin our department.
