However, it is not enough to make them competent workers in today’sglobal market or to act as a better workforce. Universities need to prepare students to be able towork in a diversified environment so that they can interact

This is telling because selectivity is highlighted by their award winning paper.Selectivity, or “putting a fence around” undergraduate engineering research projects isthe focus of this paper. Such selectivity or delimiting of projects is critical to a successfulexperience for both the faculty member and the student. Before discussing these items in detail, it may be helpful to itemize what does notconstitute a research project. Senior design projects such as capstone projects typicallyare not considered research, since they usually work on a design problem that can beotherwise classified as large, complicated class assignments

Also,by using the same instrument that they previously designed and built themselves, they arefamiliar with its performance and can quickly apply the enhancements.Since the course ended, I have had many of the senior students meet with me to discuss how theycan incorporate an embedded processor into their capstone design projects.

Unfortunately, thisoften delays this important introduction to mechatronics and system design to late in theengineering curriculum, likely coinciding with other courses which would benefit from studentshaving had prior experience of such skills (such as capstone design projects). As a result, there isa growing interest in providing systems-level, mechatronics-like training early on in

As summarized by Jerry Jenkins, CEO of Texas Instruments; “Most engineering jobsinvolve design and practice, not theory and research.”7 A 1997 National Science Foundationreport8 called for engineering programs to place more emphasis on teamwork, project-basedlearning and close interaction with industry. With the Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology (ABET) explicitly requiring engineering design content in the curriculum, senioryear capstone design classes, freshman cornerstone design classes and in some cases, designcourses throughout the curriculum, were introduced into engineering programs. Interestingly, thecornerstone design course was introduced in part to improve student retention in engineeringprograms by exposing

techniques and executed the projects as per the phasesin Fig 3.III. CONCLUSIONGoing by the encouraging student responses, it is evident that students benefitted immensely fromthe introduction of the Project Management concept for executing academic projects. This was thefirst time such an innovative concept was introduced in this course. Hence there remains a lot ofscope for future improvements. Encouraged by the results, it is intended to continue this initiativewhen teaching courses with projects including Capstone Design projects. It is also intended tocontinuously keep improving this process to make it more beneficial for the students both from anacademic and industry perspective.REFERENCES[1] Accessed Feb. 6, 2022. [Online].
