Whilenative-language communication among teammates is helpful for clarifying points,ongoing translation of class material by students for other students may also introducedistortions to the material being communicated because the student translators may not beproficient at understanding the material themselves. Students relying on peer translatorsmay also lead to a distorted power dynamic within the class, in which the peer

researcher’s judgment that a rater possesses bothknowledge of the domain and “familiarity with the kinds of creative products typically producedby the kinds of subjects in the study” 16. In recent years researchers have looked at comparisonsof novice and expert judgments. At least three categories of raters stand to provide valuableassessment data for engineering design education: self-evaluations conducted by students; peer-evaluations conducted by students enrolled in the same or similar courses; and adult ratingsconducted by raters with experience in the domain 17, 18. Across a range of domains, preliminarybut significant correlations have been seen between peer evaluations or otherwise non-expert, butsomewhat experienced, raters and those made by

studies presented above show a trend toward longer duration capstone experiences withcorresponding increases in content. There is a great deal of literature with very good discussionson the various content and organization of capstone courses, as well as the drivers involved –ABET, industry needs, evolving engineering specialties, program specialties and needs, etc.There is little research, however, on the implication of capstone duration to its intendedobjectives, and there are contradictions in the findings that are available, as mentioned byGriffin8. For instance, Griffin8 cites a study by Bateson9 that purported students in yearlongclasses outperformed their peers in similar semester-long courses, and going further saying thatthe shorter the

ProcessThe literature of capstone TDR describes variations on a generally applied industry approachusing TDRs associated with design gates or phases as described above. Industry approaches aredescribed in various standards (e.g., IEEE Std. 1028-1997) appropriate for the designapplication. The TDR process is a peer evaluation of a design as it is developed and/or before itis deployed for development, fabrication or production. Peer reviewers are acquired fromindependent pools in order to provide experienced, unbiased, and objective design oversight19. Similar to spaced TDRs in industry, Wilson, Cambron, and McIntyre20 describe a capstoneTDR process that requires reviews throughout the year where students are used as independentreviewers (see also, 4

Using the search terms “active learning,” “teaching, ” “learning,” and “team-based learning” in any field, the searched was focused on articles published in peer-reviewed journals between January 1993 and December 2013. A 20-year period wasselected intentionally in order to include relevant work related to cooperative learning donein the late 90´s, and to achieve saturation. In the initial search 49 articles were found.Analyzing the full text of every article refined the search. The final articles were chosen fordemonstrating all the following selection criteria: 1. The research must have used a type of active learning in the theoretical framework. 2. The research was focused on improving student learning in the engineering
