Abstract

Our university has recently launched a new engineering department in the College of Engineering and Technology to serve the community needs and satisfy the increasing demand for engineers in the region. The engineering department, consisting of four different programs: Mechanical, Electrical, Computer, and Civil, was established at the beginning of Fall 2018. The challenge faced by these programs was developing an up to date and comprehensive curriculum that encompasses a wide range of subjects to provide students with a substantial engaged learning experience through multidisciplinary and hands-on projects. To achieve this, the department has conducted an ambitious hiring process to attract new faculty possessing various working experiences that will enrich the development of capstone design guidelines. This paper, therefore, discusses the shared values and experiences between the faculty in developing capstone design courses in their respective schools and presents an opportunity for the newly established Engineering department to build on this diversity in order to establish sound capstone design guidelines suitable for the new programs.
在新建立的工程项目中开发顶点设计指南
我们大学最近在工程技术学院成立了一个新的工程系,以满足社区的需求,并满足该地区对工程师日益增长的需求。工程系成立于2018年秋季初,由机械、电气、计算机和土木四个不同的专业组成。这些项目面临的挑战是开发一个涵盖广泛学科的最新和全面的课程,通过多学科和实践项目为学生提供实质性的参与学习经验。为了实现这一目标,该系进行了一项雄心勃勃的招聘过程,以吸引拥有各种工作经验的新教师,这些经验将丰富顶点设计指南的发展。因此,本文讨论了教师在各自学院开发顶点设计课程时的共同价值观和经验,并为新成立的工程系提供了一个机会,可以在这种多样性的基础上建立适合新项目的完善的顶点设计指导方针。
