The impact on learning and skillsdevelopment as determined through assessment of course outcomes will also be discussed.Relevant Prior Research on Senior Capstone Project ExperiencesOne of the Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) published by the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) states that engineering students should have the "ability toapply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration ofpublic health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economicfactors" [1]. Senior capstone courses are used as a summative assessment for this outcome becauseof the real-world problems the students face during the course series [2
