controlgroup of non-participants were surveyed using an amended S-STEM survey developed by theFriday Institute for Engineering Education at North Carolina State University. The generalstudent body’s perceptions decreased over time towards STEM between 6th and 8th grade forboth boys and girls; girls had lower STEM attitudes when compared to their male peers. Girlswho participated in the program over the course of at least two semesters saw an increase in theirSTEM attitudes while those who did not participate saw a decrease over the multiple semestersof surveys. Exposure to STEM through general enrichment opportunities did not show ameasurable correlation with interest and participation in STEM. Rather, the biggest indicator ofSTEM interest was access
autonomy and UAV dynamics. They alsolearned to do the scientific literature review, and had an opportunity to improve written and oralcommunication skills. The participants were required to present a poster, give an oralpresentation of the research, and submit abstract (s) to student and/or professional conferences[1].In addition, the students participated in a series of research symposium and seminars designed toexpose them to a range of research topics, and engaged in professional development activitiesSeveral workshops were conducted throughout the 8- or 10-week periods that included Ethics inEngineering and Science, Graduate School Application Process and Financial Support, ResumeBuilding, Improving Oral and Written Presentation Skills, and

employing only two-stages, the design of amplifier is already complex, in that achievingperfect inter-stage matching becomes difficult thereby causing device failure as return losses are small. Toresolve this, the design of amplifier first stage is undertaken independently, and then the second stage iscascaded to form a two-stage amplifier along with matching networks, resulting in a reasonable value ofreturn loss for sustaining device operation in low to mid-5G ranges.

This conceptualization may thencontinue to evolve throughout their design process and deeply impact the direction of their project.Therefore, the degree and depth to which the team attends or conceptualizes the complexity of theunderlying problem will likely affect the effectiveness, adaptability, and longevity of any resulting designsolution. In this work we propose to examine how capstone engineering design teams attend tocomplexity within their design problems through a modified method for complex system mapping.
