fossil fuels.The rapid expansion of electric vehicles has created a growing demand for engineers withexpertise in this field. There is a recognized need for a large, well-trained workforce capable ofconducting research and development projects in electric vehicle technology. However, thedesign and implementation of electric vehicles are not yet well represented in mostundergraduate academic programs.To better prepare our electrical and computer engineering students for careers in this evolvingindustry, we encourage them to select capstone projects related to electric vehicles. This paperpresents two representative electric vehicle-oriented capstone projects undertaken by students inthese two programs, showcasing their efforts to gain hands-on

our electrical engineering students for the design and implementation of the renewableenergy systems, we encourage them to choose a renewable energy capstone project. To satisfy theABET requirements, students in electrical engineering programs are required to take a capstonecourse. This paper describes sample renewable capstone projects that students have done in thisprogram.IntroductionOver the past decade, engineering education has undergone significant changes, shifting towardcritical thinking, active learning, and hands-on problem-solving. Despite this progress, a growingskills gap persists in the engineering workforce due to the fast pace of technological advancement.Traditional education methods remain heavily theory-based and task

students through producing a workingsolution by having them use an agile process called Collaborative-Adversarial Pair (CAP)programming [12] specifically to apply cutting-edge industry techniques at each point in thesoftware lifecycle. The CAP model has been successfully used in the senior capstone projectcourses for the past 10 years. Moreover, the CAP method has been used as a pilot project byNeptune Technology Group Inc. in Plano, Texas, USA. The process used incrementally throughoutthe project development, starting with techniques that enhance writing code, and having anengineering activity, which addresses another lifecycle activity added each week. Students workedin an interactive environment in which they are instructed on new techniques
