The paper outlines a framework for requirementgathering in the adoption of technologies such as XR applications for teaching and learning inSTEM fields. This framework aims to assist faculty members interested in either leading orcontributing to technology adoption initiatives at their

A second digital course was also added to the curriculum to address what we felt wasa deficiency in the curriculum.A two semester required senior project design course sequence was added to the final twosemesters. This was a significant departure from the previous curriculum where we had a onesemester, optional senior project course. Our reasoning for this addition was that it wouldprovide a capstone experience for all students, and we could incorporate topics on projectmanagement and teamwork. We also felt that two semesters would provide students greater timeto plan and execute a design project. Most of the debate centered around the number of creditsand laboratory time for the course.

EconomicsGiven the importance of humanistic content in achieving most of the current ABET outcomesand the rigor of the accreditation process, it seems inevitable that all accredited institutionswould provide evidence of student achievement in those areas and cover some humanisticcontent in capstone design and introduction to engineering courses. Inclusion does not, however,guarantee either the depth or degree of integration that would reliably achieve the aspirations ofThe Engineer of 2020 or EC2000 (Gravander, 2004). ABET evaluators, who are all fromengineering professional societies, are unlikely to have expertise in the humanistic aspects

The control group is a major focused on engineering mechanics, which has atheoretical orientation that focuses on mathematical modeling based on first principles and haslittle formal design education prior to the capstone experience. The experimental group is amechanical engineering major that uses design as a context for its curriculum. In order to providea uniform basis for comparing students across projects and years, the authors use a task-independent protocol analysis method grounded in the Function-Behavior-Structure (FBS)design ontology.

Perspectives on a Freshman Treatment of Electronic SystemsAbstract.The conventional approach to curriculum design is that students start with the basics of scienceand math and gradually progress towards a realistic integration of all their engineering skills in asenior capstone project. That approach is now challenged by changes in the assumed boundaryconditions. Students no longer progress through the program in lock-step. Electronicsapplications have evolved far beyond the components level and many cross-disciplinary skillsare needed. Finally, all students require a level of communications, team-working, trouble-shooting and representational skills that take a long time to mature so it is too late to wait till thesenior year to introduce them.

Considering that design is widely regarded as the main activity in engineering, it has neverbeen more urgent for students to gain design experience from their education. However, whileevery ABET accredited engineering program is required to have a capstone or similarly namedproject, most universities only provide such an experience in the senior year of the degree [6].There are two primary solutions to the given issue: offer a curriculum with a rich-project baseand/or promote co-curricular activities. This type of curriculum would entail, say, yearly designprojects, while the extra-curricular activities would include both service-learning tasks as well aslarge cross-disciplinary programs such as the Baja SAE events or

It focuses on an engaging,mentoring-based learning process from inception to prototyping, while bearing in mind aspectsof commercialization. The process starts with observation – an essential first step in problem solving – of whatwe take for granted, in this case, the solid, static, annoying speed bump. The next step isdiscussing and thinking critically, identifying pros and cons of existing solutions. It is followedby a more broad definition of the problem as a “vehicular speed

I do not require that any equipmentbe built, as that is one of the key elements of RIT’s Capstone Design Course. In addition, timeconstraints require that I limit the scope of the project work required, so I do not require furtherdetailed analysis or design. [See also my comments in the Closure section.] On the other hand, Ido require that they address operator controls and interface, and make that a part of theirproposal.One of the real problems with requiring a project in this course is one of timing.

Laboratory ExercisesDuring the first three weeks of lab, students were given a tutorial describing how to use MentorGraphics' Design Architect (DA) for schematic entry, Quicksim for functional simulation, andAccusim for electrical simulation of a 2-input NAND gate. They were then asked to design a 3-input NOR gate by themselves and to simulate the design. This presented little problems for themajority of students since they were familiar with DA, Quicksim, and Accusim from previouscourses and only had to deal with the fact that they were now working
