In previous models, lecture and laboratory courses might have proceeded independently. • Inclusion of senior design

straight-forward, but tedious. It is believed that a laboratory experiment specifically designed toillustrate dimensional analysis would increase the students’ interest in the subject andwould significantly enhance the students’ comprehension of the technique.Accordingly, we have developed an experiment dealing with natural and forcedconvection from heated horizontal cylinders. There are three cylinders of differentdiameters, each having an internal electric heater. The heat transfer rates from thecylinders to the surrounding fluid can be changed by varying the power input to the Page 10.42.1heaters. Steady-state measurements are made of the power

In fact, the program features two senior level capstone design courses. Design ofThermo-Fluid Systems (MER-160) applies optimization techniques and cost analysis to thedesign of thermal/fluid processes and systems. The second design course, Design of MechanicalSystems (MER-144), is a project-oriented course that provides a capstone design experience forthe mechanics area of the mechanical engineering curriculum.This paper focuses on the latter and specifically addresses the question of selecting anappropriate design project that is consistent with the course objectives and outcomes.

The project focused on Fourieranalysis of periodic signals and its applications to data communications. This particularproject was tailored to fit the short time window of the program, which was total of sevenweeks with research posters due by the end of the 5th week. The project and the 3-creditcourse provided the student with the opportunity to:  Apply knowledge of mathematics to solve engineering problems;  Design and conduct experiments in the laboratory;  Use laboratory equipment to solve engineering

Prior to 1998,electronics laboratories did not even meet during the first full week of the semester. We oftenspent that week organizing our laboratory equipment, supplies, and assignments. In addition, onemight argue that students lack sufficient background material to undertake a significant labassignment after only one or two lecture periods. On the other hand, career developmentactivities require no particular knowledge of electrical engineering. Thus, students are ready toparticipate by virtue of being at least sophomores in the electrical engineering program.Here we list the career development

The engineering and technology accrediting board, ABET, issued informationrelatively early about changes due to COVID-19. ABET determined short-term changes due to COVIDwould not need to be reported (ABET, 2020). In addition to concerns about having in-person classes andlab exercises, another concern expressed was how to communicate online in ways that are as effectiveas in person. Universities were prompted to provide additional faculty support for teaching and someeven identified some “hacks” that could be used for a graphical interface (University of Nevada Reno,2020). Other lessons learned include better ways to grade
