Most of the teams have three students, and students’ preferences have shifted inthe past years from having more interest on internal projects (i.e., no industry involvement) tohaving projects where an industry sponsor is involved. Among the many benefits andresponsibilities that industry sponsored projects provide, one specific benefit is the opportunityto emphasize to the students that engineering design is more than just doing the calculations thatwere typically done in the classroom.Faculty members need to search and request projects from their network

While some of the students were highly encouraged by their advisor(s) to enroll in the course, others received minimal input regardingtheir participation. Overall, the student population diversity in this class was immenselybeneficial. The different experience levels and perspectives allowed for lively discussion and awide range of issues and potential solutions. By sharing their experiences with one another, thestudents learned from each other’s mistakes and triumphs not only as related to graduate schoolbut also to their personal life. Essentially, the students within the class served as mentors toeach other; students that were further along in the graduate program were able to

Manufacturing courseshave been offered as part of the Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) and IndustrialEngineering Technology (IET) degrees at IPFW since the 1970’s. During the period of late1970’s to the early 1990’s the department of Manufacturing Technology offered a Manufacturingoption as part of the MET program. Because of declining enrollments in the MET programduring the early 1990’s the Manufacturing option was discontinued. However as a part of theMET curriculum many of the manufacturing option courses have been continuously offeredsince that time. With the increased demand for manufacturing specific courses as requested bycurrent students, the

As afollow-up question to the primary question the investigators explored: Do students taking acollege engineering design course and categorized as “at-risk” have different learningpreferences than students categorized as “not at-risk?” The primary research question wasinvestigated and analyzed through frequency-based ordinal data pertaining to student learnerpreference(s).

Weassess the optimal temperature for GPT-4 to better enable its code-generation capabilities andobserve the change in code correctness based on the personality provided to GPT-4. We proposea pipeline built upon GPT-4 that can generate accurate python code for complex questions incompetitive programming contests. The result is a robust framework that utilizes dynamicsystem prompts to generate code and modify the solution. It includes a feedback loop with GPT-4 that will iteratively remove syntactical errors present in the generated code. In addition, weexplore its capabilities in generating sample test cases to check the
