Numerous studies3,8 have shown that retention of engineering students is greatlyaffected by the experiences lived by these students in their freshman year and, to a lesser extent,in their sophomore year. This prompted several universities across the nation to devote a greatdeal of effort and energy into the development of new and meaningful ways of deliveringeducation at the freshman level. In addition, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has recentlysponsored a coalition of universities, including Arizona State University, Rose-Hulman Instituteof Technology, Texas A&M University, the University of Alabama, the University ofMassachusetts at Dartmouth, and the University of Wisconsin at Madison.

They arrive at college with a variety of expectations which are often not realized untilthey reach their Junior or Senior years. Their backgrounds in mathematics and science areprobably strong, and they may have participated in science fairs or class projects that are relatedto technology. However, they most likely have little or no sense of the complexity and attentionto detail that Engineering requires, or just how Engineers work and think as they solveengineering and design problems.Some engineering schools have required first

With a longstanding history reinforced by support from theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), these courses have becomecommon in engineering departments across the United States.

In 1994, Todd et al.1 conducted a survey of engineeringdepartments throughout North America to capture educational and logistical practices incapstone design courses at the time. Their results2,3 provided a wealth of information about theirrespondents' capstone courses plus comments about plans for future modifications.Since then, a number

The curricular demands on those enrolled are particularly intenseand focused, leaving little opportunity for pursuits aside from studies.

Industry is often looking to hire engineersfor its supervisory and management ranks, primarily because the businesses they are in,such as manufacturing, utilities, and transportation, are technologically-based, and theyneed to have managers who understand enough about technology to learn and understandtheir specific businesses.

This problem is not unique to WSU, and in recent years has received substantialattention in the engineering education literature10-16.
