Therefore, the emphasis is not on themaster’s paper as a “capstone report” but is designed to teach students to write for thedisciplinary community, anticipating the needs and expectations of that community, andtranslating the motivation, methods, and results of the project effectively through that lens. Theauthenticity of this experience and evidence of students’ development of academic literacies isdemonstrated in the fact that to date, 15

It is rare that a student runs a program without needing to troubleshoot a problem. For example, a heavy initial cut during a facing operation would indicate an incorrectly set tool length or work offset. Many of these problems can be identified and troubleshooted during the execution of the program. Others that are not immediately apparent manifest themselves in dimensional and surface finish variations in the final part. These provide the basis for students developing the skill of connecting cause and effect. This will be

Instead, it is vital thatstudents have opportunities to practice and develop creative skills from the beginning of theprogram. Rather than giving our students projects that require them to use creative approachesand hoping they can rise to the challenge, this paper provides information and techniques to helpour students develop the necessary skills to do so. Courses of study or experiences directlyencouraging creative thought, at best, should precede working in historically structured coursessuch as engineering.

However, the end of the year competition which iscalled IT-Olympics downplays the competitiveness in an effort to make the whole experienceenjoyable. The target audience for this project is high school students, especially those studentswho previously have not exhibited an interest in studying IT. The authors have found thatcollaborative real-time challenges where teams from different schools are required to shareresources and join forces on design challenges are very successful. The students exhibit moresocial interaction after these collaborative real-time challenges and this adds to the "party"atmosphere of the entire competition

We disclaim in the course that we are not trained physicians and should not make anyhealth diagnoses in class, yet it is gratifying to observe consistency between clinical and student-made ECG measurements.Impacts of the lab activities are seen in later years as well. For example, senior-year capstonedesign projects and junior-year biomedical design projects increasingly incorporate Arduino-based instrumentation. Whereas no biomedical engineering capstone projects used Arduinosystems before introducing them in the bioinstrumentation class, after four years, 11 of 29projects used them in successful design projects
