from Harvard University. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 An Adaptive Scaffolding Approach Based on Team Dynamics in anIntegrated Masters and Undergraduate Bioengineering Capstone Design CourseIntroduction Capstone courses in undergraduate engineering programs serve useful roles for bothstudents and faculty. ABET criterion 5 essentially requires a summative project, which is oftendelivered through a capstone course [28]. For students, these courses represent an opportunity toapply their training and skills to a problem relevant to the domain of their studies. It could beargued that a capstone course is one of the most effective courses by design, given that

all engineering projects consisting of conceptual designs,computer models, simulations, and physical implementations essential elements of learning. Forundergraduate engineering education, capstone projects are exceptionally important. Howe andGoldberg [3] analyze current practices, trends, and strategies. Furthermore, since this workaddresses a multiyear design project, the pedagogical value of project-based learning (PBL) as apart of experiential learning, is also well documented [4]-[6]. In addition, since students work inteams, some of the peer learning (PL) practices are implemented. PL is extensively addressed ineducation and psychology literature [7]-[11].Teams undertaking multiyear projects can be either replacing some members each

They presented a model for a PBL-focused first-year curriculum, 99 while poin ng at the fact that most universi es (at that me) were not suitably structured to implement100 PBL prac ces straigh orwardly; and noted that it will take some effort to add PBL prac ces to their101 course material and curriculum ac vi es. They also pointed out that students can handle about 2102 projects per semester efficiently and a er that they might lose the ability to connect project objec ves103 with course material [17]. Courses such as capstone design for senior Engineering students should104 inherently follow a PBL format

solve real-world engineering problems. These courses often involve complex 2projects requiring teamwork, communication, problem-solving, critical thinking, and timemanagement. Students also learn to present their work effectively and defend their solutions in aprofessional setting. Capstone courses are project-based and faculty guided and will often requirea multidisciplinary approach to problem-solving and team collaboration to leverage each other'sstrengths. Project management skills, critical thinking and team collaboration are keycharacteristics of the capstone.A large volume of literature exists that describes lab and project activities in engineering andscience courses and how it helped in

They have also used Arduino in their capstone seniordesign projects to build line following tennis ball shooter, remote controlled mobile trebuchet,robotic cat, robotic dog, Rubik’s cube solving machine, hovercraft, submarine, etc. Prior tolearning Arduino in Digital Circuits Fundamentals, students had to learn Arduino themselveswhile doing capstone senior design. As a result, they often could not build the working prototypeuntil

Quantitative Physiology Lab is a requiredlaboratory course in which third-year bioengineering students conduct experiments to measureand model human physiological systems, while gaining experience in data analysis andpresentation.

senior capstone projects, there's a demand to integratedesign across students' academic journey. The technical intensity of engineering curricula poseschallenges in dedicating courses exclusively to design thinking or applying the design process.An alternative approach is to reimagine laboratory courses by incorporating engineering design.This pilot study explored the integration of engineering design principles in a required 14-week'engineering analysis and design' laboratory course for second-year mechanical engineeringstudents. The course combines lectures with hands-on laboratory sessions, covering topics suchas gears, motors, dynamics, hydraulics, and engines. The course also introduces Ulrich andEppinger's engineering design process and
