TEACHING CIVIL ENGINEERING DESIGN USING PROJECT-ORIENTED INDUSTRY DRIVEN CAPSTONE COURSES

Capstone Design Courses: Producing Industry-Ready Biomedical Engineers

An Approach for Engineering Curriculum Integration in Capstone Design Courses*

The current emphasis in design education is to integrate the engineering design function with all relevant engineering (as well as non-engineering) disciplines. This paper presents an approach to foster engineering curriculum integration both within a specific engineering field and between engineering fields. First, the nature of integrated design will be discussed. Then a curriculum integratio...

An Interactive Project-based Teaching Methodology in Electrical Engineering Courses

A teacher-centred pedagogical approach and a technical content disconnected with real world industry applications are two of the main causes that explain a low motivation in engineering studies. This work proposes a learner-centred interactive methodology together with a project-based teaching to overcome both problems and achieve a life-long learning. The proposed methodology is successfully a...

A Survey of Final Project Courses in Game Programs: Considerations for Teaching Capstone

Game design and development programs often include a final project or capstone course as a means of assessing the cumulative theory, processes and techniques learned by students through the program or department’s curriculum. While these courses are prevalent in programs around the world, there has yet to be a study of how, why, and to what end these courses are designed and run. We review the ...
