this is achieved is the team-based capstone experience, which starts in the fallsemester of junior year and ends in the spring semester of senior year. Our pedagogical approachin the capstone experience is for students to take ownership of their projects and their learning.The design instructors and faculty advisor(s) support and facilitate mastery learning throughdirected and non-directed, group-based and independent, simple and complex, structured andunstructured, project tasks that incrementally expose and reiterate the design process. In thispaper, we not only describe the conceptualization and implementation of this two-year capstoneexperience, but also present outcomes assessment data of student learning during this

Since the tool used is not designed for wet application(s) and is not protected against intrusion of the fine glass dust generated as a byproduct of polishing, each tool only lasts approximately one month before the tool is degraded to the point to which it is no longer economically repairable. At about $275 per tool and the need for replacement at an average rate of three tools per month, the added cost of tool replacements adds significantly to the cost of hand polishing.

Due to intellectual property issues, the “faculty member(s)” forthe class are likely to be company engineers. However, these instructors will have to meet all therequirements of the College for any part-time faculty member teaching one or two classes.The following spring, summer, fall and spring semesters will follow a similar load scheme. Asan example, the spring semester of 2013 includes a physics course, two focus-area courses andan engineering project course. The team agreed that during the summers only one session, withone course covered in the six Wednesdays, would be scheduled to allow employees to haveopportunity for summer vacations

Though these problems typically require selecting onesolution, the number of decision factors to be considered in deciding among those solutions aswell as the weights assigned to them can be very complex3-5.According to Yates and Tschirhart13, there are many different kinds of decisions, including: − Choices: where you select a subset from a larger set of alternatives − Acceptances/rejections: a binary choice in which only one specific option is acknowledged and must be accepted or not − Evaluations: statements of worth that are backed up
