The Capstone course began in theSpring of 1994 as a joint effort between Industrial and Aerospace Engineering to design andmanufacture a full size sail plane. By the fall of 1995 the course had expanded to 10 projects; allof which were inter-disciplinary. Examples of projects include: design and fabrication of semi-automated

(2) Few engineering graduates know how to work in groups or how to manufacture anything. Even fewer understand the process of large-scale, complex system integration that is so common in industry. (3) Often the students with the highest GPAs are those that are least prepared to work cooperatively in teams to engineer and integrate complex systems
