A major com-ponent of the course is a semester-long group project with several deliverables. The nature of thegroup projects includes (a) testing different capstone projects that are sponsored by local compa-nies, (b) all student teams testing a single

These students were paired with an ABE faculty member in theirresearch area to conduct their initial project in a university setting. RS students were thenallowed to direct a project of their choosing within the Multi-disciplinary Engineering ResearchFellowship (MERF). The MERF opportunity provided students with a self-directed project tohelp prepare them for their senior capstone project within their discipline. Students were requiredto document their projects and formally write-up their experimental results. The LSAMP andMERF projects provided valuable experiential components to the RS students

Thiscould be a result of the students in the project-based curriculum being faced with the open-ended,multidisciplinary, design problems associated with the competition projects. Students in thetraditional curriculum typically will not have that experience until the capstone design course.Students in the

While the ability to travel for inter-universitydesign competitions and meet face-to-face with community partners are challenged by thecurrent pandemic, creative measures are being employed such as virtual competitions and onlinecollaboration.Inside the classroom, the same challenges exist to implementing successful experiential learningactivities, especially when those classrooms are remote or hybrid.

It was found that the hackathoncan be a robust opportunity for interprofessional education and collaboration among healthcareworkers and students. Although no teams pursued their project in the biomedical engineeringsenior capstone course, several teams pursued their projects in the information and computerscience capstone course. This is likely due to the outside industry sponsored projects that are alsooffered by the biomedical engineering capstone course. Furthermore, one limitation of the studyis that it does not describe the long-term effects of the hackathon

There is little faculty supervisionand the student must be self-reliant and motivated to make progress in the project while alsoknowing when to ask for help. A third distinction is that the results of an independent study mayresult in novel preliminary findings that can contribute to new knowledge or original work. Acapstone project is typically focused on application and the results obtained may not be original.Students may use an independent study as an opportunity to further their Senior Capstone projectby finishing any additional work needed to conclude the project. These types of experiences arevery similar to the typical Capstone project and are not the focus of this

common for engineering courses to contain team-based projects ranging fromfirst-year Introduction to Engineering courses to Senior Design/Capstone courses. However,students’ experiences in teams vary greatly and when un-facilitated within large courses,students may have negative experiences which impact their future learning. To overcome thisissue, a new course: Applications in Project Management in Biomedical Engineering wasdeveloped at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. This course is student-led where upper-class students serve as project managers (PMs) to first-year student teams in Introduction toBiomedical Engineering who are conducting semester long design projects.

particularly is true for seniorcapstone design, where students focus their attention on a single design prompt for up to threeconsecutive semesters. We hypothesized that students possess a natural inclination towards typesof capstone projects, and their choice of a project may impact their motivation levels throughouttheir experience in the design course, which ultimately will impact their performance. Whileeducators have made attempts to influence specific motivational factors to improve studentperformance, the interdependency of motivation factors as they change is unknown. This paperexamines the correlation and the interdependency between student motivation factors. Using theMSLQ questionnaire by Pintrich, we examine five factors of motivation

Studentswere then asked what changes could be made to the game (and, by extension, to the Cap-and-Trade Policy) to encourage equity.The senior Capstone class experienced a broader inclusion of social justice in their classcurriculum.

. Capstone design is a culminating course offered toundergraduate students in which they collaborate to design, build, and test engineering solutionsfor real-world problems. The students enrolled in these courses must first solve the problems offorming teams and identifying a course project. This is especially challenging for one-semestercourses because students must form groups in less than a week. The challenge is furtherexacerbated for interdisciplinary capstone design courses. Students must form teams withindividuals studying different majors; in most cases, teammates have never previously met.
