rig-orous academic instruction with a military framework. The paper explores VMI's capstone pro-jects' historical development and significance, highlighting how the military structure uniquelyshapes their design and implementation. This study investigates the academic and career impactsof these projects, drawing on feedback from students and faculty. Additionally, it identifies op-portunities for improvement, including fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, enhancing part-nerships with industry, and refining assessment criteria. Finally, the role of continuous improve-ment mechanisms, such as ABET accreditation, are assessed to ensure the ongoing relevance andeffectiveness of VMI’s capstone programs. This research aims to provide insights

students would beblock scheduled typically by an administrative assistant based on test scores and placement tests,and then the faculty advisor would meet with the student once a semester for the rest of thestudent’s academic career to advisee the student on the next semesters courses. This is a fairlystandard model that is used at many different institutions and is one that allows for one on onepersonal interactions with the student and minimizes the workload on the faculty advisor.However, in order to address the issues of mechanical engineering student retention, recruitment,and the initial math placement of these students the new active and structured advising modelwas created as seen in Fig. 1. The structured advising model integrates
