projects which require multidisciplinary teams in order to be successful. Manysuch programs have been initiated, including those discussed in [8][9].This effort described here differs from some of the above work in two major ways. First, theprojects varied considerably, including an industry-sponsored project, a national competition,and an internally-funded research project. Secondly, this was not done through the developmentof a new course. Rather, the multidisciplinary projects were simply some of the projects fromwhich students could choose as part of the standard capstone course. It is hoped that the lessonslearned from these initial teams will allow smooth integration of further multidisciplinaryprojects in the future.Design Teams:Four

The ET program’s content provides an integrated educational experience directedtoward developing the ability to apply fundamental knowledge to the solution of practicalproblems in engineering technology fields. The majority of the ET courses at Drexel are fullyintegrated with training and laboratory experience and extensive use of software and industrialcase studies12. A new generation of industrial engineers, manufacturing engineers, and engineeringtechnologists must be educated and trained in various quality control-related techniques,methodologies, and corresponding equipment.

The following ideas were successful: · Offering a technical course to non-majors and exposing them to a wide variety of topics in multimedia systems. · Providing an experience for exploration of a particular project in depth using a diverse group of students and tools. · Using guest lectures from the UMASS community, integrating research and information technology into the curriculum. · Capturing the course through the use of low-cost video, Web site and CD-ROM.Recommended improvements to the course include: · Covering less material (a

And in this ad-hoc model, when scientists-in-training seek help to be better communicators, in our experience it’s often too late in thedevelopment of their communication task to integrate best practices into the novel design of thespecific piece of communication. At best, specific flaws may be triaged. Rarely is sciencecommunication integrated into a curriculum that addresses specific needs of science trainees inreal time. And, to our knowledge, science communication training has not been delivereduniversally through all levels of an institution – faculty to postdocs to graduate andundergraduate students – therefore, there is no common approach within an organization.

Although the third-industrialrevolution is still evolving, the invention of the internet and widespread use of digitaltechnologies and satellite communication systems fueled an entirely new period in the industrialrevolution. This new period which closely overlaps with the digital revolution is the fourthindustrial revolution, commonly came to be known as Industry 4.0 (I4.0). Figure 1 shows atimeline of evolution of industrial revolution.The term Industry 4.0 (I4.0) was first coined by the German government in 2011 as a part oftheir High-Tech Strategy for Germany [8

The faculty pointed to this course much to the delight of theIAC. On another occasion the IAC was meeting one year after the completion of the first ENGR350 course; they were viewing the capstone projects of the first students to have completed theentire PBL sequence from freshman through senior. One of the IAC members pointed out thatthe projects that year tended to be of a higher caliber than those of previous years, noting thatthese students were the first to finish the entire PBL sequence.References[1] Self, B.

Such impairments have directly or indirectly contributed to construction failures and accidents withthe often tragic loss of human lives. As such, the traditional education and training in our current constructioncurriculum must be enhanced. To overcome this problem, the COVR model is currently being developed andwill be integrated into our curriculum.
