Using frameworks established in Science and Technology Studies and the History ofScience, I understand these tasks to constitute the labor of producing and representing knowledgeabout materials but also to express the political and social relations from which engineering (onesocial collectivity functioning amidst others) derives.1-3 Among those relations are those thatdiscourage STEM involvement by persons with disabilities by means of epistemologicalarguments: for example, by denying that a visual representation of data might be

This is also reflected in the program accreditationrequirements of the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET)8 and theEngineering Council9, the two major international organizations that set accreditation criteriafor engineering programs.As a result, over the last twenty years, engineering departments have begun to introduceengineering design courses into their curriculum1,10.

sequenceFinal conclusions recommending the WKU hybrid single-semester vs. year-long capstone projectimplementation cannot be made. The WKU ME faculty do not even agree. Single-semesterprojects with a preceding design-only project do not seem to harm either the student experienceor the project success. When industry-based projects with maximally self-sufficient studentperformance are a priority, the single semester approach becomes increasingly preferred. Whenfaculty interaction with students in research or industry-sponsored projects, and results andtiming have a greater priority, a year-long approach gains preference.Bibliography1.
