Job Readiness through Multidisciplinary Integrated Systems Capstone Courses Lucy King, Mohamed El-Sayed, Matthew S. Sanders, & Jacqueline El-Sayed Kettering University Flint, MI 48504AbstractIndustry wants job-ready engineers from day one. A panel of industry partners pointed out sixqualities expected of recent graduates. These engineers need to adopt an enterprise-wideintegrated systems approach from product conceptualization to realization. They need to workclosely with engineers from different disciplines while maintaining their own technical expertise.Leadership, conflict resolution and inter

innovative undergraduate classes whichinvolve active learning laboratories for the students in each of their freshman, sophomore, junior andsenior years. This program received the 1999 Boeing Outstanding Educator Award, in recognitionof its quality and effectiveness in providing a well-rounded engineering design education.The program objectives were developed in response to the call by industry for baccalaureateengineers to possess a broader set of skills beyond their analytical and computer skills. This call wasstrengthened by the Engineering faculty’s observation of the students’ experiences in senior capstonedesign during the late 1980’s and 1990’s. These students, who had had no prior experience with adesign process, struggled with the issues of

When welladministered, regularly assessed, and subject to continuous improvement, REU programs are anasset to the research community, allowing students who may not seriously consider a future inresearch to experience and examine research as a viable and desirable pursuit.BibliographyBlock, P.

Twenty six out of a total of 30 students returned the“questionnaire” on time! The opinions expressed and comments made were, by and large,positive to say the least. After regrouping, and rephrasing to correct the English language; someof the comments offered by the ex- students, could be summarized as follows: The adjunct was easy to approach every time and every where, and was always helpful, His input into the course has dramatically improved students’ understanding of the material, enlivened the

Regardless of themethod, it is believed that development of effective communication skills in students requiresthat they exercise these skills frequently and receive constructive feedback.In the mid 1990’s a major effort was taken to redesign the undergraduate mechanical engineeringcurriculum at Union College. A mission statement was developed along with program objectivesand specified student outcomes. In the fall of 1996 a significantly new curriculum wasintroduced.
