The ‘Learn fromFailure’ area will be addressed via built-in failure experiences, where students will be providedjust-in-time help to address a problem. Audio/visual elements will be added to target theSensory Awareness area and therefore positively increase the impact of these experiences o theaffective and cognitive domains.49 Biomedical applications will be emphasized to increasestudent interest, optimize module re-use in ECE 772, and maximize

It called for involving allstakeholders (students, industry, faculty, administrators) in the design phases, having toreach a consensus in defining the graduating engineer skills, his/her competencies andvalues, as well as the desired learning outcomes. To enhance the learning experience,courses had to include hands on activities, industry projects and other non-traditionalexperiences, which emphasized skills development, like teamwork, ethics and effectivecommunication. Students had to learn to not only solve a problem in teams, but alsodefine and characterize the problem, to build a prototype, write a business proposal andmake effective presentations. Finally yet

The professors also tie a string to the students‟ wrists and sometimes neckwhile wishing them well in their studies. The string becomes a physical memory of the ceremonyand should be kept on for several days.Even though the respect from student to instructor seems less than before (especially in a largecity such as Bangkok) this tradition is still very strict in other regions of Thailand.

In today’sglobally competitive economy, it is more important than ever to develop effective design skillswithin the undergraduate years. However, before effective design learning experiences todevelop the skills necessary for human-centered design can be created, an understanding of theways in which students experience human-centered design is needed. This paper provides anoverview of a phenomenographic study that explores students’ understanding of human-centereddesign, presents the resulting outcomes space, and discusses the educational implications of thefindings.MotivationDesign has long been a core function of engineers

,and international projects in the engineering workplace. Research methods in studyingengineering practice included mixed quantitative and qualitative online surveys,interviews with practicing engineers, and case studies of engineering firms. We foundthat effective engineers value communication, problem-solving, teamwork, ethics, life-long learning, and business skills. Many of them note that their undergraduate educationdid not always prepare them well in these areas. Because of these two misalignments, wehypothesize that potential engineering talent goes underdeveloped at important stages ofeducational pathways as students move from high school to college. We believe thatincorporating these findings into an interactive special session would

Capstone and senior design projects are ways that traditional engineering programs develop identity, but providing opportunities earlier in the academic career may help to develop this earlier.

This will hopefully guide thestudents to police their own practices.10 Because OEPs require the students to doindependent study on the subject and to define a unique idea using limited knowledge,another good resource is the US patent database. Because each patent must have at leastone cookbook-type recipe concerning how to implement the idea, this makes patents avaluable source for students working on OEPs. However, in the case of patents theinstructor needs to very carefully guide the students in their selection of good qualitypatents. Even though most high

First, it is what our graduates will do when they graduate. It culturally preparesthem for the activities of engineering, and excites them by satisfying their desire to perform theroles of an engineer. Secondly, it aids in teaching the skills that they will need in the workplace.If we are to teach students to communicate and work in teams, and especially to act ethically andcreatively, it is far easier to impart this understanding while working on authentic engineeringactivities.
