Working in small teams, students learn “how to learn” by engaging in a recursiveprocess that includes problem analysis, independent research, brainstorming, and solutiontesting.

This type of educational method has been designed to push motivated studentsinto a fast pace, learn as you “build” environment in which students need to integrateeducational theory with applications.

Toward this end, we have developed aset of indicators which classify design problems between those for which the preferable design isa transformer, devices with multiple functional states, or a monomorph, devices with a singlefunctional state. The indicators reveal, at an early stage in the design process, if developing atransformable product is likely to be advantageous. A novel design methodology is proposedwhich incorporates the indicators and has been tested at teaching institutions of higher education.Design application trials are used as a method for determining the impact of this

However, successful design students must also masterprofessional skills such as oral and written communication, project management, teamworkskills, problem solving, and professional ethics. These skills can be difficult to teach in atraditional lecture format, but can be very naturally integrated into capstone design5. Sincecapstone design courses offer many opportunities for situated learning, they allow students tolearn these professional skills in a realistic context6.Given that these professional skills are necessary for a successful capstone design experience,one
