Challenges frequently associated with senior capstonedesign courses, as described by others1 and experienced in our course are as follows: 1. An atypical course format: Typical undergraduate courses follow the classic structure of lectures, homework, labs, and exams. Capstone courses are centered on nontechnical lectures, project benchmarks, student presentations, and design reviews. The nontraditional course format is jarring to many students. 2. Unfulfilling first semester (for two semester capstone sequences): When capstone design is a

These will focus on innovation in addressing sustainability issues in the community, state and country.

Achieving such a goal at the freshman level presents asignificant challenge, but would produce significant benefit by allowing such an awareness toinform all of their future learning. While many studies have examined how students engage inengineering design, none have looked at how students understand engineering design, and howpersonal definitions can influence undergraduate students’ perspectives on their studies and theprofession.Typically, in defining engineering design, instructors rely on textbooks which arrive with rich,well thought out, and thorough definitions of engineering design.

, and teaching- focused culture at our institution make it very challenging to perform fundamental research. Mentoring undergraduate students in research during the summers takes away a considerable amount of time that could have been used for fundamental research. On the other hand, undergraduate research is very valuable for improving one's teaching career. For example the undergraduate research activities allow the faculty to learn modern technology and modern problems that eventually trickle down into the classrooms. Being in the business of teaching, undergraduate research can be looked upon as teaching students the skills and knowledge on how to conduct research. These skills will most likely benefit

They are also told that we will not be discussing ethics in a highlytheoretical or philosophical manner, both because time does not permit such a discussion in asingle short lecture, and because the lecture’s intent does not call for it.

The applications were reviewed and priority was given tothose students who struggled with math according to their grades and to the opinion of their highschool instructor or counselor. The idea here was to recruit not the best students who wouldprobably succeed without any intervention. The philosophy was that by building some self-confidence in the students in math, they would select a STEM field as a career
