Project requirements can include work measurement, work design andergonomics, engineering economics, simulation, statistical analysis and experimental design,project management, and technical communication. In addition to a description of the laboratoryand projects, the rationale and a description of the curriculum is presented.

A Massively Large Student Modeling Assignment (MLSMA) Dr. Jon M. Duff Information and Management Technology Arizona State University Abstract Most curricula in engineering and technology find a “capstone project” to be highly beneficial in preparing soon-to-be-graduated majors. 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

capstone design course. The freshman courseintroduces students to the process skills associated with engineering design. 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. By blending professional engineering topics and project activity, theexisting capstone design course dilutes both these components

All student teams met concurrently one evening perweek to work on faculty-provided projects. Each faculty member was responsible forapproximately four teams. Faculty and students began each year of the program with excitement,but over time, a number of significant challenges emerged, among these the explosive growth ofthe George Fox University engineering program and its potential effect on the sustainability ofthe program.

At its best, service learningallows an opportunity to bridge technical education in the classroom to practice. Additionally, itencourages student development of communication skills, leadership, critical thinking, activelearning, and cultural understanding [1]. These skills learned through service learning benefitstudents upon graduating, as they will be expected to interact with people from diversebackgrounds in order to solve complex problems.

The project the team selected was the conceptual design of a performance and visual art center for an existing nonprofit “village” that houses physically and emotionally abused girls. Each team member was responsible for the design of a component of the project based on her civil engineering subdiscipline. An all-female group of industry practitioners agreed to serve as mentors to the capstone team throughout the project cycle. With significant input from the practitioner-mentors, the students designed the project and not only presented to faculty and advisory board members, they also presented to the local chapter of a female-based construction industry
