EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING AT THE JONSSON SCHOOL
At the spring 2025 electrical and computer engineering expo held at the
Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science
at
The University of Texas at Dallas
, participants traveled to a future city where sensors and machine learning can enable smarter use of limited resources and can adapt to the people — and vehicles — comprising a city. A group of students gathered around their smart city team project complete with custom light posts and park benches, with visible circuits and sensors.
“We 3D printed these ourselves,” said Rita Kaushik BS’25 in computer engineering. “We connected everything to the sensors.”
Visitors at the event, which was open to the public, participated by driving a small remote-controlled car around the board. Lights from the miniature lampposts blinked on as the vehicle approached. The students, clad in business professional attire, explained the project’s goals and their unique solution.
Their formal project title was “TI Wi-SUN FAN DHCP Service Adaptation for IoT Networks.” The group explained to corporate judges how the devices were used to enable smart city functionality with dynamic lighting and traffic monitoring.
Their abstract distributed at the event read, “A custom web interface allows users to visualize real-time device activity and control endpoints. The system showcases the potential for low-power, long-range wireless communication in dense urban settings.”
The team learned valuable skills as they worked with corporate sponsor Texas Instruments Inc. (TI), combined their expertise in computer science and electrical engineering and persevered through a two-semester process to complete their projects and prepare for the expo.
“Learning in the future is flexible. It is inclusive, humanized and multipath. … Moreover, we need to understand that abilities can be improved and are not static.”
— Dr. Sheryl Sorby
Past president of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE)
The expo was the culmination of
UTDesign® Capstone
, which has become a highlight of the Jonsson School student experience and continues to grow and expand its network of corporate sponsors.
Dr. Stephanie G. Adams
, Jonsson School dean and Lars Magnus Ericsson Chair, envisions a time when experiential learning — teamwork, real-world problem-solving and design thinking — will inform the student experience from the first year through graduation and when divisions between schools and majors are broken so that students can engage in learning opportunities across campus.
“Through experiential learning, we communicate what it means to be an engineer or computer scientist,” said Adams, also a professor of systems engineering. “From the beginning, students start to adopt a design-oriented mindset, and they learn to work collaboratively with people of different backgrounds and disciplines. They think of themselves as engineers and problem solvers. We provide them with a more engaging learning experience in higher education, and they are prepared to contribute meaningfully when they graduate.”

The Future is Flexible
“Our curriculum was originally based on the
Grinter Report
from the 1950s,” said
Dr. Sheryl Sorby from the University of Cincinnati
and past president of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) who served as a guest speaker at a Jonsson School executive council meeting held in the fall of 2024.
Sorby described to the audience of Jonsson School department heads, associate, assistant and vice deans, distinguished alumni and corporate advisors how the Cold War Era curriculum in the United States was devised out of fear of falling behind other nations, with an emphasis on strict entry requirements for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) study. As a result, calculus completion was seen as a proxy for talent in engineering education, and mathematical ability was often viewed as a “weed-out” factor.
“Learning in the future is flexible,” Sorby said. “It is inclusive, humanized and multipath. Our students need to replace a fixed mindset with a growth mindset, which will prepare them for an unpredictable future. Moreover, we need to understand that abilities can be improved and are not static.”

As Adams, whose research interests include broadening participation in STEM, teamwork and team effectiveness, noted that more than 100 years ago the Carnegie Foundation released a report entitled “A Study of Engineering Education” by Dr. Charles R. Mann and little has changed since then from a pedagogical perspective. Throughout her career, she has advocated for more current, innovative approaches.
Dr. Joshua Summers
Each year, the Jonsson School has continued to expand its offerings and to support student organizations where many students find that they are able to branch out and apply new skills in environments that promote creativity and design thinking.
Design
is the backbone of engineering,” said Dr. Joshua Summers, professor of mechanical engineering and interim associate dean for undergraduate education in the Jonsson School. “It’s what students need to be doing immediately from day one.”

Design Thinking From The Start
“Our goal is to have 100% percent of our students engaged in experiential learning,” Summers said, noting that while students will begin with a first-year design course, they need continuity and opportunities for hands-on learning between the first-year course and the heavily design-focused, team-based capstone program.
In 2024, Summers introduced a new program called
Research, Inquiry, Design Experience (RIDE)
to expand upon some offerings already available to students across the Jonsson School.
“We’re trying to create a foundation of two core languages — design and computational thinking,” Summers said.
Students at the Spring 2025 Computer Science Showcase demonstrate an in-vehicle protocol simulator developed for sponsor Toyota Motor Corp. In the new format, judges as well as community members hear about each project and have the opportunity to ask questions.
RIDE currently offers course credit for co-curricular projects offered by Jonsson School faculty members. Students work directly on collaborative teams coached by faculty or supervised graduate students, and during the 2024-25 academic year, RIDE included more than 36 projects with over 300 student participants.
One major hurdle for students, Summers said, is that co-curricular activities are often perceived as expensive. While the school has more than 60 student organizations, participating in a club can require hours of dedication, and many students need to plan how they will balance their work and school commitments simultaneously. Through RIDE, they can participate in more independent learning while receiving course credit, and faculty can identify and recruit potential graduate students in the future.
Dr. Yi Ding
Dr. Yi Ding
, assistant professor of computer science, recently began offering the RIDE program to students who assist with projects related to perceptive mobile AI systems.
“The RIDE program gives undergraduates hands-on experience with mobile sensing and AI while PhD mentors gain teaching practice,” Ding said. “In my small cohort lab, each student receives close training and guidance, allowing them to explore real-world applications and contribute meaningfully to research.”
The Jonsson School has made several investments in the student experience, including hiring a first-year director who will guide college students through a project-based curriculum designed to teach and reinforce foundational skills.
Additionally, the Jonsson School’s Bridge Student Success Center, which opened in fall 2025, provides important resources to students as they navigate transition points, such as transferring from a community college, adjusting to college-level coursework or tackling tougher upper-level courses. Located on the fourth floor of the Engineering and Computer Science West Building, the center now provides dedicated, collaborative space for study and mentorship and is in keeping with the recommendations in
ASEE’s Engineering Mindset
report and a commitment to developing student experience and success.

Community-Centered Engagement
Programs such as
UTDesign® Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS)
engage students early in their careers and offer an elective credit for students who participate. Student teams work with local nonprofits, companies may act as sponsors to provide the teams with necessary tools and equipment and the program is open to students of all majors, skill levels and classifications, from freshmen to seniors. The program is led by Andrea Turcatti, program director, and has grown to include 57 nonprofit organizations and more than 1,600 total student participants.
Andrea Turcatti
“The EPICS program at UT Dallas provides students with the opportunity to engage in real-world problem-solving early in their academic journey,” Turcatti said. “EPICS fosters a multidisciplinary, inclusive environment where learners apply human-centered design principles to address community challenges.
Notably, EPICS has attracted a mixed student body, Turcatti said. Each semester, approximately 30% of enrolled students identify as female, and the program continues to see increased participation from Hispanic and other underrepresented groups in STEM. This grouping more closely matches the demographic composition of Texas, enriches the learning experience and reflects EPICS’ commitment in experiential education.

UTDesign Capstone
Appropriately, using a backward design model, study in the Jonsson School begins with a focus on the end goals. As seniors, students are expected to complete a full design project with a sponsor, in which they effectively act as engineers and computer scientists, and their prior design experiences throughout their undergraduate program build toward this final project. Students document the process and work closely with both faculty and corporate mentors to meet the goals of their project.
"Unlike many programs that silo disciplines, UTDesign unifies all engineering departments — mechanical, electrical, computer and biomedical — under one cohesive program, fostering interdisciplinary teamwork that mirrors real-world
engineering environments."

As students culminate their college experiences with a senior design capstone, they share their work with the public. Nearly 600 companies have sponsored nearly 1,600 projects, so students gain relevant career experience. In addition to team-based design experience, they also gain exposure to critical business processes, like budgets, supply chain concerns and delays.
Rod Wetterskog
Rod Wetterskog, assistant dean of corporate relations in the Jonsson School and UTDesign program coordinator, previously worked for TI as a global university relations manager where he recruited from more than 50 universities, and he has led UTDesign for over a decade.
"The UTDesign senior design capstone program stands out among similar offerings at other Tier One research universities due to its unmatched combination of industry integration, collaborative structure and dedicated resources," Wetterskog said.
UT Dallas student teams have received national recognition and have earned first place at
11 national capstone design competitions
since 2014, in addition to placing second and third at the biennial Capstone Design Conference and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers' Student Manufacturing Design Competition. In 2025, another team placed third at a National Institutes of Health Design by Biomedical Undergraduate Teams (DEBUT) event out of 123 teams representing 67 institutions.
Wetterskog said, "Unlike many programs that silo disciplines, UTDesign unifies all engineering departments — mechanical, electrical, computer and biomedical — under one cohesive program, fostering interdisciplinary teamwork that mirrors real-world engineering environments. Students benefit from guidance by faculty with over 75 years of combined industry experience, ensuring mentorship is both academically rigorous and professionally relevant."
With a state-of-the-art 12,000-square-foot open lab, part of the 43,000+-square-foot UTDesign Studio that is supported by full-time staff dedicated to the senior program, students have access to the space and expertise needed to bring their projects to life, Wetterskog said.
"Ninety percent of engineering projects are sponsored by industry partners, so students have hands-on experience solving real challenges for real clients — setting a standard for practical, career-ready engineering education," he said.
Dedicated faculty members for each discipline provide important guidance for students as they work directly with corporate sponsors and mentors that help students make the transition from the university setting to industry careers.
One group from the spring 2025 Bioengineering UTDesign Expo dubbed "Straight Flush" developed a patient waste removal system for sponsor Elmroi LLC, a Dallas, Texas-based medical device startup founded by Joseph Ibiloye, a registered nurse. They spent hours hand sewing different sizes of adult diapers that are fitted with a suction and tube to remove liquid waste and prevent skin infections and rashes, particularly in a hospital setting.
"Working with the senior capstone engineers at UT Dallas was an absolute pleasure," said Ibiloye, chief executive officer of Elmroi LLC. "After aligning our visions for the project, I was delighted to discover their unwavering passion for the mission and the challenge we are attempting to solve."
The project provided a unique opportunity for students to develop a product that focused on patients' comfort.
Dr. Todd Polk
"The UTDesign capstone program provides a true experiential learning opportunity to our biomedical engineering students," said Dr. Todd Polk, professor of practice in bioengineering and a UTDesign Capstone faculty director. "Every team has an external sponsor that has given the team an engineering problem that they need solved, and the team is doing real engineering work to conceptualize, design, build and test a solution to that problem. These real-world problems and the industry-like environment help students better prepare for the transition from academia to industry."
Dr. Robert Hart
Dr. Robert Hart, professor of practice in mechanical engineering and a capstone faculty director, also noted that the program's dedicated space and resources help students accomplish complex, corporate-sponsored projects.
"Working through all the complexities and challenges that come with doing a realistic engineering project for a customer gives students a unique learning opportunity that prepares them for the professional world," Hart said. "The facilities, staff and resources make it possible to do the complex, impactful projects that challenge and inspire students and bring value to sponsors."
The UTDesign Straight Flush group won Best Infographic at the Spring 2025 Expo for their project entitled "Patient Waste Removal System." The group tested diapers of varying sizes and demonstrated how a flexible tube inserted into the diaper could remove liquid and keep the patient's skin dry.
Several students from electrical engineering and computer science also worked on collaborative, interdisciplinary teams.
Dr. Marco Tacca
"UTDesign Capstone offers a truly unique opportunity for students to engage in real-world learning by immersing them in actual industry environments," said Dr. Marco Tacca, professor of instruction in electrical and computer engineering and a capstone faculty director. "What sets this program apart is the chance to work directly with seasoned professionals and experience a company's culture firsthand."
Dr. Miguel Razo
Dr. Miguel Razo, professor of instruction in computer science and a capstone faculty director, added: "Students face real-world challenges that go beyond technical tasks — such as understanding complex project requirements, navigating legacy code and managing team dynamics by recognizing and leveraging individual strengths and weaknesses."
At the UTDesign Capstone Computer Science Showcase, computer science and software engineering students presented their work one team at a time in an auditorium, allowing them to communicate and display specific coding or application problems while fielding questions from corporate sponsors and judges. Similar to the expos hosted for the other departments, all team members prepared to answer questions from both a general audience and from judges with a technical background.
"This comprehensive experience prepares students for the realities of professional work in a way that few other programs can match," Razo said.

What’s Next
As the Jonsson School is committed to continuous improvement, school leaders envision opportunities for students to continue developing themselves holistically.
“When I look at a resume, I think about a story,” Summers said. “I think about how stories get developed, and it’s imperative for students to accumulate stories and experiences.”
Adams attended a study abroad trip with students to France in 2024, which is another area where she hopes to expand offering to students in the future as part of the School’s commitment to developing the whole student. While transitioning to the working world is a significant milestone for graduates, Adams emphasizes that the goals for experiential learning are much broader.
“We are looking for more from our students than mastery of a fixed set of skills,” Adams said. “A graduate of the Jonsson School should have had many opportunities to develop as an individual, to develop a sense of ethics as well as communication skills that they will use throughout their careers. Technology changes, but people who know how to adapt and work together to solve problems will lead our future. We will continue investing in our students and prioritizing the approaches that are most valuable for tomorrow’s engineers and computer scientists.”
