Session 2249 Utilizing Experiential Learning for Capstone Project Credit Gary Crossman, Vernon Lewis, Mary Beth Lakin Old Dominion UniversityI. Abstract The typical student at many (urban) universities works a part or full time job whileattending school and may already have several years of industrial experience. This experiencemay very well be applicable to courses in their engineering, engineering technology or othercurricula. In 1998, Old Dominion University established and implemented an assessmentprogram called Experiential Learning with the primary purpose of

Great emphasis has been placed on the use of alternative sources of energy,though conservation efforts that rely on existing technologies offer the

Supplemental lessons on energy storage, semi-conductors, andnonreactive energy sources (such as solar collectors, wind turbines, and hydroelectricplants) are included here. This paper discusses the evolution of ME 472 over the pastseveral years and explains the motivations for the course’s progress.I. IntroductionThe United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point is the oldest engineeringinstitution in the nation, having taught engineering science and design to students ofmilitary art since 1802.

fabricatewood and metal parts, rather than creating the parts themselves. Under this training program,students were not adequately familiar with the equipment in the lab. As a result, student designprojects and prototypes were of low manufacturing quality, student confidence in their hands-ondesign and manufacturing skills was reduced, and there was an increased risk of safety violationsdue to lack of experience.5) Increased awareness of advanced manufacturing technologiesOne identified weakness of our undergraduate mechanical engineering curriculum was the lackof manufacturing technology coverage beyond basic machine shop processes such as milling,turning, or welding. The typical Air Force engineer is a program manager more than anengineer. As such

In summary, our endeavorexperience with this wholesale curriculum renovation, including difficulties encountered andsuggestions for future improvements, will be discussed in detail.1.

Foroudastan, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Olivia Dees, Research Assistant Engineering Technology and Industrial Studies Department Middle Tennessee State UniversityAbstractThe damaging effects of monoculture threaten the sustainability of our world. Geneticengineering, or biotechnology, gravely endangers the future integrity of genes withpossible unforeseen mutations. For example, Monsanto has created a terminatortechnology that will not allow farmers to reproduce their own plants from
also actual data and models from lower division laboratories inupper division laboratories. The integration occurs because students must utilize their previouslaboratory work as a reference as they study the different facets of the same experimental set-upsin multiple engineering laboratories. The students learn to appreciate the integrated nature ofmodern systems since they get to use the same set-ups in multiple courses. There are otherindirect advantages of this approach in terms of financial economy and faculty professionaldevelopment.
