Yet the same courseevaluation instrument is often applied to capstone project advisors by default, since capstone istypically listed and registered as an academic course.The idea of the modern capstone project largely emerged in the 1980’s, rapidly accelerating inadoption through the end of the millennium and reaching

Research highlights a strong relationship between instructors’ beliefs about sustainabilityand the significance of the integration of sustainability in classroom instruction (Brown et al,2014). For example, instructors’ expectations about sustainability concepts had a major impacton the sustainability content in 43 senior capstone design projects of civil engineering programsat two different institutions (Dancz et al, 2017).

capstone project. Apart from a light teamproject in their freshman introductory class, students in their sophomore and junior yearsgenerally only work with a lab partner. Without the experience working with larger teams,students in capstone often find their projects suffer due to teamwork issues they are unpreparedto deal with. In addition, while some sophomore and junior labs are project-oriented, they tend tobe much better defined and structured than capstone projects. Students go into capstone lackingexperience in defining, documenting, scheduling, reporting and in general managing a largeproject.The second reason is that students need to repeatedly practice complex tasks such as teamwork,project management, and communication.
