seniors indicate that manystudents feel their failure analysis project was the only project they had prior to capstone designwhere they truly had free reign to perform anything other than a “canned” experiment.The paper will outline the process for meshing project content with lecture and lab material, andsome examples of student work will be presented.Background – Materials Science CourseThe Materials Science course at RIT is taken in the winter or spring quarter of the second year,typically either with Mechanics of Materials or in the immediate preceding or following quarter.Materials Science is a three-credit course (30 contact hours) with a one-credit lab, while mostother RIT-ME lab courses are four-credit lectures with one-credit labs

amount of copper in the crushed car during recycling. This was achieved with the useof inexpensive breakaway connectors at each point where the power line branched off toa component. Telephone conference calls with the industry professionals providedimportant context and background information for the project.This was a highly successful senior design project which can serve as a model in anumber of pedagogical areas including socially relevant design problems,interdisciplinary team building, interacting with industrial professionals and serving as anall around capstone experience to a student’s undergraduate engineering scienceeducation.
