The tool is beingused in the capstone design course sequence, and the results from three semesters ofimplementation are reported and briefly discussed. Compared to the previous method of peer-evaluation alone, the new tool allows each sub-outcome to be measured and evaluated.IntroductionMechanical engineering seniors at Lawrence Technological University (LTU) complete acapstone design project: either an SAE collegiate design series (CDS) competition or anindustry-sponsored project (ISP). These capstone projects serve as a summative assessment,bringing together machine design, thermo-fluids, manufacturing, and mechatronics topics into areal-world design experience.

Overall results were mixedwith faculty indicating that students who completed the Intro to ME course differentially appliedthe design process but also had fewer gaps in their knowledge of the tools associated with thedesign process.

Seven months of design work suddenly had to pivot intoprojects and deliverables that could be completed remotely without access to much of the tools,equipment, and resources typically used by teams. This transition was much easier for someprojects than others.Upon completion of the Spring 2020 semester, the instructors reflected upon the outcome of thecourse and acknowledged several positive and negative aspects and used those to guide changesimplemented on the next iteration of the capstone course.
