In some cases, students learn theproduct design process in parallel with their capstone senior design project. In others, there areone or more previous courses that focus on teaching different phases of the product design anddevelopment process. Also, there are other factors that impact student learning such as variationsin the design process favored by each faculty member supervising a capstone senior designproject, the specific design process presented and the terminology used in different productdesign textbooks, and the product design textbook

Our prior work has investigatedwhich contextual factors engineering designers consider and how they incorporate contextualfactors into their global health design processes. In this study, we extended this prior research tocompare the design behavior of student and professional global health engineering designers. Aspart of this research, we conducted semi-structured interviews with fifteen experienced designengineers who work on health-related technologies in LMICs. We also conducted semi-structured interviews and reviewed final reports from six mechanical engineering capstone teamsworking on global health-themed projects. While

For example, monitoring the performance of an Atmospheric Water Generator Devicethat utilizes geothermal heat rejection to condense vapor in the humid air. This device requiresair parameters, water temperatures, and soil temperature variation to be measured to understandthe system. This paper presents a capstone project that involved the design and implementationof an inexpensive data acquisition system that utilizes off-the-shelf components. Twelveparameters are collected

The accreditation requirements ensure that sustainability is addressed in specificdiscipline-based units, and to a greater extent, in the capstone unit. Barriers, however, occur inboth cases because sustainability considerations are not scaffolded. The cross-case analysisalso shows that while project-based environments were the most common type of educationalresponses implemented to strengthen students’ sustainability-based knowledge and skills,findings suggested projects do not always encourage the same complexity of problems and,consequently, do not generate the same level of learning outcomes.

How do students’ conceptualizations of an open-ended problem develop throughout the project? 4.
