Using Rubrics for Assessing Student Projects in FAR Part 147 Programs

Ac 2007-2366: Capstone Design Projects with Industry: Using Rubrics to Assess Student Design Reports

The benefits of company sponsored capstone design projects, both to academia and to industry, have been well established. Specific benefits to students include the broadening of their engineering skills, the required interaction with practicing engineers, the strengthening of teaming skills by working in design groups, the development of communication skills with required oral and written repor...

Student projects using ARToolKit

In this paper we would like to describe three student projects developed at the University of Applied Science at Hagenberg (Media Technology and Design) using ARToolKit. All projects were implemented by students during their semester projects or during their master thesis. MusicAR is the first application presented in this paper. It describes the master thesis of B. Hauser and shows a nice musi...

Part Time Study Distorts Student Attrition Rates in Engineering Programs

Standard four-year full-time engineering degrees commonly take eight years when studied part-time by distance education and this can distort apparent retention and attrition rates. Recent publications indicate the national part-time annual retention rate for engineering degrees at regional universities is 62.85%. Extending this over eight years, only 2.4% of part time students who enter the pro...

Student Network Design Projects using OPNET

To provide students with a practical knowledge of networking, the K.U.Leuven organizes design projects, complementary to the theoretical courses. Master students in Electrical Engineering (Telecommunications option) design a network for a specific service in a specific environment. During the academic year 2000-2001, students worked on one of the following topics: voice traffic on leased lines,...
