IntroducKon
• What
is
EPS?
– one-­‐semester
capstone
project
/
internship
programme
– engineering,
product
design
and
business
undergraduates
– 18
European
engineering
schools
• 10
Golden
Rules
of
EPS
– prepare
future
engineers
to
think
and
act
globally
• adopt
project-­‐based
learning
and
teamwork
methodologies
• foster
the
development
of
complementary
skills
• addressing
sustainability
and
mulKculturalism

Discussion
• Project
objecKve:
not
just
having
students
implemenKng
a
final
prototype
– make
them
contribute
with
their
disKnct
visions
of
the
problem
to
a
common
soluKon
– project
development
process
demanding
for
students
– at
this
educaKonal
level
students
are
not
used
to:
• collaborate
with
individuals
from
different
naKonaliKes
and
specializaKon
fields
• be
autonomous
and
responsible
• make
decisions
and
reach
consensus
– this
approach
develops
communicaKon,
negoKaKon
and
collaboraKon
skills
• usually
lacking
in
students
following
tradiKonal
learning
approaches

Discussion
• How
students
perceived
learning
experience
at
EPS@ISEP
– final
reports
processed
to
collect
terms
occurring
more
than
ten
Kmes
in
documents
• project-­‐related
terms:
‘dome’,
‘beams’,
‘parts’,
‘wood’,
‘door’,
‘window’,
‘materials’
• other
terms:
‘team’,
‘market’,
‘company’,
‘environment’,
‘ethics’
– indicate
students’
awareness
regarding
teamwork,
markeKng
and
entrepreneurship
as
well
as
towards
sustainable
and
ethical
pracKces

Conclusions
• Paper
reports
development
process
of
a
Wooden
Dome
and
a
Metallic
Dome
during
the
spring
semester
of
2016
– apart
from
technical
and
scienKfic
knowledge,
mulKcultural
and
mulKdisciplinary
team
members
learned
how
to
collaborate
with
each
other
-­‐>
essenKal
skill
for
their
future
professional
careers
– adopted
project-­‐based
learning
approach
fosters
communicaKon,
negoKaKon
and
conflict
resoluKon
skills
and
provides
a
unique
scenario
for
an
effecKve
consolidaKon
of
engineering
concepts
• Regarding
the
dome
projects
– teams
proposed
simple
soluKons,
fulfilling
project
requirements,
and
develop
prototypes
demonstraKng
effecKveness
of
proposed
design
– iniKal
design
improved
during
development
by
adopKng
an
idenKficaKon
system
to
simplify
dome
assembly
and
system
for
the
inclusion
of
colour
blinded
people
