CONSIDERATIONS IN THE ASSIGNMENT OF HOMEWORK IN HIGHER. ENGINEERING EDUCATION T. Koryu Ishii Professor of Electrical Engineering Marquette University Milwaukee, WisconsinIntroduction The purpose of this paper is to present some consid-erations of various types of homework assignments in higherengineering education. In order to promote more effectiveteaching in this area, a review of the methods in use atpresent is required. In the author's opinion, the type orstyle of homework in higher engineering education, such asin the junior, senior and graduate school years shoulddiffer from that in the elementary, Freshman-Sophomoreyears, or
2021 ASEE Midwest Section Conference Assisting Students with Internships Kevin R. Lewelling Kevin R. Lewelling, University of Arkansas Fort smith, 5210 Grand Avenue, Fort Smith, AR 72904AbstractAssisting students with appropriate internships is critical for their future success. Often thequestion arises, how does a faculty member become involved in this process? This extendedabstract seeks to give some recommendations for faculty members in assisting their students withthis process.One tool a faculty member can develop to be involved in student internships is to compile andretain an up-to-date list of possible local/regional/national
used to bring students together in a virtual classroom, break students intowork groups using the imbedded breakout rooms, and allow students to work together using avirtual white board. Google Slides can be used, as a substitute for or in addition to the Zoomwhiteboard, to present and store individual and collaborative responses to class activities.These tools are helpful in initiating collaboration in the classroom. However, their roles arelimited due to their static setting or limited functionality. Due to the Covid19 pandemic, morefree or low-cost accessible collaborative on-line apps and software packages are now available.These packages not only aid initiating collaboration through class activities but allow a broadrange of activity

to use several entrepreneurial mindset concepts withengineering design principles in order to come up with our new product calledGreenAuto. The idea behind this project was to create a system that receives a feed ofdata from people’s cars which will be turned into feedback to drivers so they can drivemore efficiently. In turn, this will allow them to save money on gas, drive more safely,and be more environmentally friendly. We were able to build on this by going throughthe customer discovery process. We conducted about 40 interviews with potentialcustomers. We created customer segments based off of these interviews anddeveloped a minimum viable product (MVP). We took everything we learned from thediscovery phase to in designing our product

electronics. Theory and bestindustry practice must be in balance when mastering these skills. Presently, we devote separatecourses to each skill and somehow think that learning each skill very well will somehowmagically enable the student to critically think and integrate all to solve a real-world problem.This approach is ineffective. As a result, the ABET-required senior capstone multidisciplinarydesign course too often becomes a design-build-test exercise with the emphasis on just gettingsomething done. Students rarely break out of their disciplinary comfort zone and thus fail toexperience true multidisciplinary, model-based system design. Two courses were created toaddress this.
