A study at the University of California, Irvine,modified a senior capstone course to stress professional skill and entrepreneurship development[15]. Researchers witnessed improvements in student confidence, with 39% of students havingprovincial patents for their projects, highlighting the efficiency of the course in entrepreneurshipand innovation. These studies have shown the dramatic impact of introducing entrepreneurial-minded learning modules in the classroom.Although

equipping students with relevant skills, an overviewof professional engagement, and a major project. The major project for the course involvedteams of 3-4 students working to design one of two civil engineering challenges: either a 20-footcantilevered wooden bridge or a 25-foot diameter wooden tripod. There were two fundamentalpurposes to the course: students were to learn more about their specific discipline so as toestablish realistic goals and motivations for their education and career, and students were tocomplete a major project in order to develop teamwork skills, integrate into the program, andbuild confidence in their ability to overcome intimidating challenges. These initiatives wereintended to improve student engagement with the course

However, the authors’intention was to introduce modeling and simulations early in the curriculum, help students gainvaluable experience and start considering the use of modern tools and new skills in addressingengineering problems. Although students’ ability to utilize COMSOL Multiphysics® (referred toas “COMSOL” throughout this text) for the final design would only be commensurate with theirlevel of proficiency, understanding the capabilities of software packages in the specific projectenvironment can better prepare them for future capstone projects, research experiences, andengineering practice

Students who areworking on a long-term design project can use this active classroom time in order to acquire theskills they have identified as necessary to accomplish their project.Engineering course projects, and especially the engineering capstone experience, are oftenexperiences that revolve around group work in the service of a large and complex project. Byblending the flipped classroom approach with a project-based learning approach, the goal is thatthe students will be better prepared for both the capstone experience and professional life post-graduation.

concepts, which is the ultimate goal of the casestudy and its activities.The course analyzed the use of case studies in order to improve students’ skills in handling open-ended design and applications of engineering science principles. This type of experience isdrastically different from secondary education and should not be a single experience duringundergrad (most commonly a fourth year design project/capstone project). The advantage ofengineering case studies is that they provide a similar experience as a capstone project and areable to engage students in design thinking on a topic-by-topic basis21. The goal is to have thesetypes of initiatives throughout the entire program; however, since the students struggled so muchwith open-ended problems

In other courses, students or student teamsmay take responsibility for identifying the problem that drives the design project [2].Engineering faculty at Duke University recognizes the skills of sourcing and specifying problemsand their related needs statements can also be important for students themselves to learn, assolutions to well-articulated and important needs can create value for our society.

” students enjoy being treated as engineers.

Through industrypartnerships and intervention, today’s engineering technology students can garner a great deal ofself-fulfillment though Senior or Capstone projects such as this. Giving students the opportunityto work on “real-life” projects goes a long way toward creating a “real” engineer.

why engineering schools are workingon providing courses in which students must engage in solving open-ended problems to facilitatereaching these learning outcomes. However, most of those courses are typically at the end of thecareer path (Capstone design project) and maybe an introductory design course in their first year.In these courses, students must find a problem and work on defining a specific problem, whichgets them closer to what the outcome expects. On the other hand, most of the coursesengineering students take in their first year ask them to solve well-defined problems with a rightanswer (they might be able to take different paths to get to that answer, but there is still one rightanswer).

We are focusing on the immediate need for improved, readily-transferrable techniques for the incorporation of technical writing in engineering courses, mosttypically at the sophomore and junior levels. The premise with selecting the sophomore andjunior levels is that most programs “bookend” technical writing in some fashion, with freshman-level design courses and senior-level capstone courses often being more project-based andalready involving substantial writing. In contrast, the sophomore and junior levels tend not toinclude much writing beyond formatted laboratory reports, although with resource limitationseven these reports have
