Students design an experimental plan for the engineering design problem (e.g., building a floating assembly with a portable charger). Then they conducted experiments, collect and analyze data that is compared to the theoretical design. Thereafter they make conclusions and observations on the outcomes based on engineering and math concepts (e.g., Buoyancy and stability). They finally use conclusions to draw improvements to the components, system, and processes

This workshop differed from the first three in thatit was a stand-alone event, in contrast to the conference affiliations of the other workshops,allowing more time to consider the topics in greater depth.At the conclusion of each workshop, participants completed an online survey intended to assesstheir expectations of, and experiences in, the workshop, as well as their plans for implementingMRE in their respective institutions.

Industry Engagement versus Faculty Mentorship in Engineering Senior Capstone Design CoursesAbstract:The senior design capstone course is an important experience for engineering undergraduatestudents. This course prepares students for industry by having students solve open-ended real-world problems. During the course, a student team defines a problem, plans an approach,develops a solution, and validates their solution, which culminates in oral and writtendissemination. Typically, undergraduate programs have provided students with facultymentors to develop a solution for a specific project. In order for projects and teams to besuccessful, the mentors must provide invaluable support, collaboration, and interest in

, Reprinted Here with Students PermissionWriting a program takes a lot of time and planning, and then even more time. Along the wayyou’ll run into problems and you won’t know how to solve them. Planning is the key. Figure outwhat you’re going to do before you do it. You need to do some research and learn new things sothat you can solve your problems. It is impossible to know how to write an entire program at thestart. You just need to start working on the problem and revise your logic again and again andthen again some more. It is also hard to get exactly what you want from your program. There is apoint where you know that you can optimize your code even more, but it is already good enough.Writing a program is a fluid process. You and your code are

One of the main functions of the faculty advisor is to make surethat the courses offered at the host school transfer back (with a Pass or Fail grade). Due tohigh demand for study abroad in the Mechanical Engineering at Kettering, the minimumcumulative grade point to apply for study abroad as well as to pass a course at the hostschool has been raised from a mere Pass grade (D Grade) to Fair grade (C grade).Currently, more than 80% applicants have their GPA above 90%.
