education.12 In literature, themost popular way of integrating real-world problem solving, especially in multidisciplinaryteams, seems to be through capstone design courses. As of 2005, roughly 35% of undergraduatecapstone design projects were conducted in multidisciplinary teams of students (an increase from21% in 1994).6 Evidence has shown, both qualitatively and quantitatively, that students benefitgreatly from working in multidisciplinary settings. Survey results show that engineeringprofessionals associate interdisciplinary thinking with creativity in their peers and ratemultidisciplinary work as very important in preparation for industry.7 Similarly, students whoparticipated in a multidisciplinary capstone course identified functioning in a

In the activity, teams were asked to use the tools to distinguishbetween problem-solving and design activities that they had performed earlier in the semester.Next, the students were asked to classify a number of simple scenarios. Finally, feedback wassolicited about the greatest strengths and areas of improvement for each of the tools as well asinsights gained through this class activity. Findings were validated by separate focus groupswith design faculty and with students enrolled in a capstone design course. Both students andfaculty envisioned the two tools to be a natural extension of project work, prompting newinsights about the role of problem solving, design

Thereason the first course is kept somewhat generic with light coverage of three distinct topics(circuits, electronics, digital systems) is because it serves a wide population of non-EE students.The second course in the sequence is almost exclusively manufacturing students who rely on thecourse to prepare them both for their capstone project and for a subsequent robotics elective.Previous offerings (Spring 2015 and Spring 2014) of EE 352 followed a traditional structure of 3hours of lecture

In the fourth year, students come backtogether to take an industry-sponsored multidisciplinary capstone course.The embedded systems project course described in this paper is taught in the third year,and is an important course for the students who choose the electrical or the roboticsconcentration. Its significance stems from a number of reasons. One, it is the first projectcourse sequence in the students’ area of specialization (concentration). Thus, they applyknowledge of basic circuits and programming to design, manufacture and test a solution.Another reason for the course’s significance is that it is a precursor to the capstone orfinal year project, and is intentionally modelled along the

This partnership is designed to produce a synergistic experience for students from allmajors in the context of interdisciplinary, open ended projects. The hypothesis is that the co-location of student groups, and the existence of a shared advanced computing infrastructure, willlead to improved learning outcomes for student participants. This paper describes the generationof a crucible where students can undertake defining educational capstone experiences that fullyreflect new ABET criteria.

While acknowledging that engineering schools already produce technicallycompetent graduates, they need engineers who are: creative, can work in teams, and cancommunicate and share their thoughts and ideas. They emphasized that engineering schoolsshould involve students in projects from day one and not rely on capstone design to practiceproblem-solving and learn about partnerships, relationships, and exchanging ideas.

The VIP model presents a holistic learning journey that holds immensepotential for students' academic and professional trajectories [2].

Most of the projects attempt to simulate a development,design and analysis experience. While there is value to this approach, there is a greater need toexpose students to real life engineering projects rather than a simulated project.

Theproject is essentially run like a mini-capstone. Students practice entrepreneurial-thinking throughcustomer interviews, pitch presentations, and design reviews to ensure they are actuallyaddressing a need or problem and creating value for their potential customers.Due to the open-ended nature of the projects, students must learn to deal with uncertainty andself-regulate their learning.
