Comments, Complaints, etc
•
Is it electrical literature or electrical engineering?
•
Non standard quality of final project
•
Most graduates do not have engineering design
experience
•
(Long) delayed graduation due to (unfinished)
final project
•
Some final projects are more like postgraduate
research
Consequences
•
Culture change (the hardest)
•
Faculty resistance
•
Need solid ‘die hard’ team
•
Need facts, measured result, &solid arguments
•
Give enough room for gradual adaptation
•
Presentation oral exam based on 6 pages paper
(NOT a book)

PEO & SO
•
Program Educational Objectives
• Program educational objectives are broad statements that describe what graduates are expected to attain
within a few years after graduation. Program educational objectives are based on the needs of the program’s
constituencies.
•
Student Outcomes
• Student outcomes describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation.
Assesment & Evaluation
•
Assessment
• Assessment is one or more processes that identify, collect, and prepare data to evaluate the attainment of student outcomes.
• Effective assessment uses relevant direct, indirect,
quantitative and qualitative measures as appropriate to the outcome being measured. Appropriate sampling methods
may be used as part of an assessment process.
•
Evaluation
• Evaluation is one or more processes for interpreting the data and evidence accumulated through assessment processes.
• Evaluation determines the extent to which student outcomes are being attained. Evaluation results in decisions and actions
PEO Program Educational
Objectives
•
The objective of the EE Program is to produce
graduates who
• will have successful careers in their engineering professions.
• are capable to be admitted in and successfully complete their graduate studies.
• will have leadership and an active role in industry,

MAJOR
ABET EAC Engineering Design
•
Engineering design is the
process of devising a system,
component, or process to meet desired needs
.
It is
a decision
‐
making process (often iterative), in
which the basic sciences, mathematics, and the
engineering sciences are applied
to convert
resources optimally to meet these stated needs.
•
Students must be
prepared for engineering practice
through a
curriculum culminating
in a major design
experience based on the knowledge and skills
acquired in earlier course work and incorporating
appropriate
engineering standards
and
multiple
Capstone Experience
• The Integration of Content (ABET)
• Baccalaureate degree programs must provide a capstone or integrating experience that develops student competencies in
applying both technical and non-‐technical skills in solving problems.
• “ … the culminating or integrating experience, comprehensive project, capstone or major design experience.” (ABET)
• Capstone Project
• Also called a capstone experience, culminating project, or senior exhibition, among many other terms, a capstone project is a
multifaceted assignment that serves as a culminating academic and intellectual experience for students, typically during their final year of high school or middle school, or at the end of an academic
program or learning-‐pathway experience
ABET EAC:
Criterion 5 Curriculum
•
Major Engineering Design Experience
• Engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. It is a decision-making process (often iterative), in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and the engineering
sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet these stated needs.
• Multiple realistic constraint (e.g. economic,
environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability) [SO.(c)]
• Engineering standard
• Multi-discipline & Team work [SO.(d)]

2009 Evaluation
•
Direct Assesment (Rubrics)
• Our team think that these shortcomings are due to most of students study only to pass the examinations. Most of them do not have sufficient chances to use their knowledge to do project or/and solve engineering problems.
• If they do a project, the students will learn that it is not
sufficient to learn only hard skills such as math, modeling, or engineering science. They need also knowledge about
contemporary issues, teamwork skill, and other soft skills.
•
Indirect Assesment (surveys)
• Some companies give feedbacks that some of our graduates have weakness in communication and teamwork
2009 Action
•
A need of curriculum that:
• put/use together all necessary knowledge and skills to solve problem/project
• give the student chance to exercise soft skills especially: teamwork, communication, and presentation.
•
The purpose of the capstone design course is to
provide students with a realistic design
experience that allows them to integrate and
Recommended Actions (1)
•
Final project should be
• Capstone design project• Not a research work
• No more simulation only
• Problem based
• Product prototype based
Recommended Actions (2)
•
Final project should be
• With standardized complexity level
• Standarized process
• With Standardized engineering documents
• Team work of 2/3 students
• With oral presentation
EE Days 2012
• The first public event called EE Days (Electrical Engineering Days)
• Logbook of activity records
• A group of 3 students must present their work before a panel of 2 examiners in public (they cannot choose group’s members)
• The group must also demonstrate their work. [responsibility & professionalism]
• Best Engineering Design Award & Best Engineering Research Award
• Eligibility : 14 sks, passed 5 choosing breadth courses
• Evaluation
• The students were found difficult to do the capstone design due to lack of breadth knowledge (3rd yr courses).
• Most of EE students were indicated not to have necessary skills & knowledge to smoothly complete their process
EE Days 2013
• Second year experience
• Introduce video for public expose
• start to have industry involvement on project topics
• involve multi discipline supervisor outside EE (e.g. aeronautics)
• use social media (Facebook) for managing capstone design courses
• Invited speakers from alumni and professionals (industry)
• add new award for Best Video presentation
• add requirements for eligibility: 1 month co-op min AND pass all 2nd year courses AND to pass comprehensive examination
• Evaluation:
• lack of broad view in the EE field is also seen in the implementation of capstone design (final project course)
EE Days 2014
• Third year experience
• 2013 EE Curriculum take effect on July 2014, i.e. Capstone Design credits were redistributed from (2+4) credits into (3+3) credits;
• involve professional from industry as examiners
• publish book of abstracts of all projects for the event
• one strong industry involvement including industry internship (1 semester)
• employ web based on‐line grading (oral, demo, and peer evaluation) [SO.(f) profesionalism]
• involving 3rd yr students to help run the event & to introduce them
of what to expect in a capstone design
• Evaluation
• Date of the event is on recess, not many 3rd yr students contribute significant help
EE Days 2015 (1)
• Start to use weblog as logbook [SO.(f) professionalism]
• use comprehensive test for eligibility on 9 (nine) breadth courses;
• use YouTube for project’s communication media;
• embed rubrics in on-‐line grading (oral, demo, and peer evaluation) [SO.(g) communication]
• put attention to formulating design requirements [SO. (e) problem formulation]
• Start to involve student union (HME)
•
Evaluation
EE Days 2015 (2)
•
Web based on-
‐
line assesment
• Easy for examiners (faculty, alumni, industry)
• Easy for assesment
• Data may be presented in preferred format
Evaluation Form
EE Days 2016
• 1st graduate of 2013 EE Curriculum
• Involving Student Union (HME) to run the event
•
Evaluation:
• Student diversity lower when group’s member are up to students
• Not effective use of weblog due to no server’s admin
EE Days 2017
•
Students can not choose members of the group
•
EE Program will choose for them from three
groups of students’ pool
•
Closely assesment of B100-
‐
B300 engineering
documents
